No longer was I asked to take a typing test and all of a sudden I'm receiving a phone call followed by a fax from the main office that the company now needs me to fill out FMLA paperwork. When I went out for surgery I asked was there any paperwork that I needed to complete, but they told me no. One week after receiving the paperwork stating the level of my disability from my dr, I was terminated. This was a year after my surgery. My job was on the second floor of a building that can only be accessed by stairs. I believe I was terminated because of my disability. I have been to the EEOC & I have received my right to sue letter on June 30, 2008. I am located in Texas. I am searching diligently for an attorney. Any advice or referrals would be appreciated.

If you are looking for an attorney, go to LEGALMATCH.COM. This is a public message board and not a place to hire an attorney.
Good luck.
