More details to this question:
I was offered a job at a fixed yearly salary. I accepted the offer. Approx. 6 weeks later, he questioned my resume and then stated that he needed to reduce my salary by $10,000. Not wanting to be on unemployment, I had no choice but to accept it. After 6 months being with the company, he stated that he could no longer afford to keep me.

You are in a difficult legal position and that you excepted the $10,000 reduction in salary and worked under those terms and conditions. The employer will argue that this new salary was agreed upon between the employer and the employee. I would not spend your hard earned money employing an attorney to pursue this action.
