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?

You havent stated one fact in your narrative that indicates you have a winning case. I see a lot of threats...bordering on extortion to tell you the truth. It is not uncommon for companies to try to resolve these matters, but that doesnt mean they are admitting liability. Based upon what you are stating here, I wouldnt start spending the money just yet. Since you havent described the issues, I'd say you dont have a case. You sound like someone who is just looking to blame somebody for getting fired.

It sounds like the company is willing to offer a settlement to end the matter peacefully.. if you get a lawyer and commence litigation, they will defend themselves. Trust me, they will.
They would rather pay $50,000 for legal fees than one cent in damages.It sounds like you're more interested in vengeance than justice.
Go through with it, none of them will lose their jobs, but you'll quickly gain a reputation as a troublemaker, and you'll ll never get another job.Now, tell me, who wins?

As soon as you start going after the jobs of others, you lose my sympathy. I wager, after legal expenses, you may get a maximum of 6 month's wages, if there is actually a case. It certainly isn't worth more, may not be worth even that.
I have to mention, if you really have a top law firm acting on your behalf, they would already have discussed a possible figure with you. If they haven't, perhaps there is not much of a case.

You have already lost.
This has become about YOU and not about what is right.
The court will see that you are only interested in bashing the company and will dismiss the case.
You lose.

I say it's way to early for you to be planning the big win. It'll be years before you even SEE a judge and if you do win....they'll appeal.
