More details to this question:
I got fired from my first job on October 2, 2019. I was given a folder containing information about a severance package. From what I understand, I need to sign the documentation in order to receive the severance package. The documentation says I should have an attorney look it over.

You definitely should retain a civil lawyer to review your severance package. Usually a consult fee will be requested to be able to sit down and gather information and provide legal advice. Usually a severance package requires you to agree to give up any legal rights in exchange for the severance so getting legal counsel first is important.
