I have a strong case to sue a my employer for discrimination. Everything looks to my favour, and honestly speaking my employer is wanting to reconcile this w/out involving an attorney once they heard what steps I took. They are trying their best fo keep me from speaking with the executives, in fear of losing their jobs. But, I have made it clear, one way or another - I will speak with the executives, to disclose what is happening behind their backs. I have recieved calls from HR to resolve this matter, but, I am standing adament on my part, coz it comes down to morals, values, and ethics. And, my termination was injustice, the "stated" reason for my termination will be proven to be a pretext discrimination based on a prtoected category and is not the "real" reason for termination. HR, Accounting manager, and the Controller, all "3" failed on their parts in this matter, and once I do get a meeting scheduled with the executives, they will be at a verge of losing their jobs...no doubt.

I have one of the Top 50 lawfirm on my side, to proceed with this. They have been on the O'Reily Factor on TV and are well known around. I am honestly, thinking what steps should I do, should I keep the money if I will win or should I reconcile with my company, and request a formal apology in writing, as well have the 3 mentioned people to be terminated on the failure part to perform their duties that their position calls out. What do you all say?

Everyone is stunned at my workplace and quite angry over my termination, expeciall other in higher positions. I was a good worker, and do get support from my fellow coworkers - it honestly was a shock why this has ocurred.. and the underlying reason is - that my current boss, feels I am a threat to her, coz of my abilites and I get noticed alot by others then her, at times clients approch me thinking I am the boss, and pass on her just by appearance, i guess I look like a person with a strong personality, and she just doesnt match upto the expectation of clients on who looks like a boss or not....its sheer jealousy, and she set me up on giving me wrong info on doing a certain job. Other authorities were angry at this decision made on me, know I am a HARD worker

What goes around comes around. Forgive and go back to work.

From what you have written, I don't see grounds for a law suit; nearly all states are "right to work" states and they can fire you for any reason or no reason of at all.
You indicate that "the "stated" reason for my termination will be proven to be a pretext discrimination based on a protected category and is not the "real" reason for termination" but then later on state that is it is because you think it is because your boss was jealous or you and your abilities, not because of a consistent pattern of verifiable discrimination because you belong to an EEOC protected catagory. If you were fired because your boss is jealous, it is not good business, but it is not illegal.
Thirdly, if you have a top lawyer and they have told you have a legit case, why are you asking people on Yahoo Answers for advice when you have experts that are familiar with your case, not just a snippit of the situation.
As much as you want to speak to executives, they are no obligation to meet with you as they have made best faith effort to resolve the matter through proper channels such as HR. If you feel that there was injustice and poor business practices at your workplace, you may want to write a letter, being consice, with supporting dates, facts and copies of any documents or affidavits from other employees (if they will consent...while they may tell you they are upset about being fired, it is another matter for them to step forward and put themselves on the line) and send it via certified mail, personal and confidential or registered mail to the executives or if you can obtain their e-mail addresses, e-mail the letter to them also.

It sounds like you are desperately trying to prove that you are worth something. I'm not saying that you aren't, but I've always felt that if someone dowsn't like me, move on. How can you sue someone because they don't like you. You really are a pathetic person.
