We cannot answer that question; only you can. What we can provide, is guidance on the law. Discrimination in employment in this state is completely legal unless the discrimination is on the basis of a "protected class."

If your termination, or certain types of treatment before the termination, was due to one of these protected classes, then you may have a claim for unlawful discrimination.
