Generally most states are right to work so they can kick you out for any reason. Also since this was an "agency" job you probably aren't covered by unemployment since this type of work is always dependent on their being a job that they have and you're willing to take.

You are asking people to predict the future which no one can do. If you think you have a good case, call one of the lawyers that will do a free consultation with you and advise you what your chances are of winning. Even if someone else won under similar circumstances, it doesn't mean you will.
And from what you have written here, I don't think you have a case. If you are hired through an agency, the company has no obligation to keep you. My cousin worked for one and when they didn't need her or want her there anymore, they let her go. The agency then placed her elsewhere.
Move on and let it go and don't waste money on a lawsuit. It isn't worth your time or the court's time to fool with this petty thing. Let the taxpayer's money go for worthwhile things, not frivolous suits like this one.

Many states have a governmental department that will look into the matter and determine whether you were discharged properly. In America, employers generally have the right to fire anybody anytime for any reason or for no reason.
You may have a case to recover some money if the company didn't pay you our full wage up to the time of your firing. Also, in some states, vacation is consider pay, so if you have a week of vacation coming you may be entitled to that amount of money. In red states generally, you may be entitled to $X or your wage which ever is less!
You have an up hill battle. For you to prove that you had been somehow mistreated, you have to have proof in the form of a witness or a writing from the company.
The company's defense to your allegation need only be "we didn't do that"i.e. hey don't have to substantiate there claim.
Good luck but you are well advised to just forget about it and get on with your life.

In theory, yes you can file a lawsuit. Whether or not you win will be something else. There are many things to consider. Is your state a "hire and fire at will state?" Were you still in your probation period? The fee a lawyer charges depends on the attorney. Find a lawyer that offers a free initial consultation and take it from there. Good luck.

From the brief description above it sounds like they had the right to fire you and they had a reason to fire you. The specific answer is Yes, you can FILE a lawsuit. My best guess is an attorney is going to want money up front and you are not going to win. If I were on your jury, I would already vote against you and I have only heard YOUR side.

no, it is not any longer a criminal offense. With at-will employment, you are able to supply up once you do no longer choose for to artwork there and that they are able to fireplace whilst they do no longer choose for you there. here it is the latter. They wanted a unswerving worker of course. There are exceptions and that's if there is discrimination in accordance with suspect traits like race, national beginning, and so on. yet even then whilst there's a reason no longer concerning those characteristic they are able to fireplace. Civil service and union jobs have extra secure practices and you get to attraction and flow to a value or to an arbitrator. in case you're in the two of those circumstances touch your representative AsAP as there are timelines on which you will possibly desire to grieve. No secure practices if no union and no civil service activity and no controlling settlement.

Get over it, move on. It is not worth a lawsuit; you wouldn't get anything. 6 mos. with an employer is nothing. If you were probationary, they have every right to fire you for no reason. Move on, don't play pitiful.

CALL THE STATE BAR IN YOUR STATE AND ASK FOR AN EMPLOYMENT ATTORNEY..THEY WILL GIVE YOU THREE NAMES.
WHEN YOU GO SEE THE ATTORNEY TELL HIM THE BAR RECOMMENDED HIM AND HE IS SUPPOSE TO CHARGE YOU A NOMINAL FEE....OR NOTHING FOR A CONSULTATION.
