The only legal basis you have based off of what you have said is if they are lying about things in order to not have your unemployment granted. If that is true you have a case, but it's not worth it to fight because you'll end up paying more in legal fees than you would end up getting in unemployment. You have to take it up with the EDD. And if it is denied, you can always apeal the decision. That's what I did when I was denied. And I won the appeal.

You can request a hearing at unemployment if you are turned down. You don't need a lawyer and either your boss or someone from HR will have to attend the hearing.
Basically, you will both tell your side of the story and unemployment will decide from there.

Have a reputable reference checking company call up and ask them for references, have them document it, and take the offenders to court for slander.

Talk to a lawyer. It can't hurt. Find a free consultation.
