I have an employer that I had to quit abrubtly due to a family emergency that forced me out of town for almost a month now, and I requested a simple letter from my ex-employer to state that I quit on such-n-such date and that I quit under good terms. Just to keep in my personal file. They, however, state they do not find it necessary to do so. What can I do other than go hire a lawyer? I just want something on record so when I put this on my resume, and my next employer calls them up, they cannot say anything besides the truth of how I left. (I hope that made sense)

Sorry, you were not terminated, you quit. The company is under no requirement to give you anything to this effect in writing. An attorney won't even take your case.

An employer is Not obligated to provide you with such a letter even if you left on great terms. A lawyer will do you no good!

I can only assume that when you separated employment it was verbally communicated and not an abandonment of employment.
We are all required to communicate our intentions as our "reference" depends on it. If you left on good terms call your previous supervisor personally and ask him nicely to give you a good recommendation.
