Certainly you can set a consultation with an experienced employment attorney to fully discuss your situation. Keep in mind that the attorneys who answer your questions here are subject to rules prohibiting soliciting you to represent or consult with you. That means you will need to reach out to the attorney(s) you choose on your own.
Having said that, I do need to let you know that North Carolina is an employment at will state where an employee can be terminated at any time for any reason. You can be terminnated for a good reason, a bad reason or no reason at all. You can only file a claim for wrongful firing if you can show that there was an unlawful motive behind your termination.
