QUESTION
Hi, I am one of a few owners of a small business (less than 15 employees). I recently fired an employee for having been written up multiple times for.

More details to this question:
The same offense. We have no written policy on how many write ups it takes. He says he feels as though he''s been singled out and wants to sue. Its AZ, does he have the ability to sue in an "at will" state? We didn''t single him out, but even if we had, does he have a case here?

Anyone can sue anyone for anything. As a general matter, it is legally permissible to "single out" an employee for termination, as long as the basis for "singling" is prohibited (e.g., race, religion, national origin, sex, etc.).
