This man helped me with something for my job and he saw info that he shouldn't have seen. The info was very limited and no one was hurt by it. I made a bad choice, but I had no ill intent of any kind. Months after he helped me, he contacted my employer and told them. I have been fired from my job, denied unemployment, don't have insurance. This person took everything he could from me because he "loved' me and I didn't love him. We were friends; he wanted more; I didn't. I never treated him badly or anything. He harassed me to the point I got a restraining order. I filed a grievance trying to get my job back-doesn't look good. My employer seems to be trying to screw me. What he told them was true, but his reasoning behind it was malicious. Do I have any legal recourse against him? I want him to understand the impact of what he did. My job was my passion. He hurt me, but he also hurt my clients. What are my chances if I appeal unemployment? Any other suggestions (yes I'm looking for work

Appeal the unemployment ruling. The worst that can happen is that they say "no" a second time.
You really don't have any recourse. He wanted to hurt you, and unfortunately you unwittingly gave him that opportunity at one point.
You are better off getting as far away from this man as you can and just putting all of this behind you.

Break that down, you did something you shouldn't have, showed it to someone and then they turned on you....forget his reasons, you offered him the carrot. You will have a very difficult time finding sympathy within the legal system, however, if you can prove malice you might have a case. That is a steep road ahead and I honestly wish you luck.

You can sue for wrongful termination if the employer termed you for unjust reason. check state law. you can sue this guy for damages like slander or libel if the things he said where not true.

Start by asking your friends and family, if they have "an attorney friend," you can discuss your problem with, before to hiring an expensive attorney.
