I was wondering can I file suit against this company for these reasons? If so how to I go about getting a lawyer that accepts cases with no retainer and gets paid only If I do? What is the specific name for these types of lawyers.
You can NOT be discriminated for filing an EEOC complaint, that includes termination. IF you believe you were terminated for such and the reason the company gave was pretextual (false coverup), when and if a future suit is filed, your attorney can claim wrongful discharge also as one causes of action.
If your suit is based on federal law, EEOC, you need to consult an attorney who handles and or specializes in federal employment/labor law as they will also need to be licensed in federal court, since no doubt the suit will be filed there.
You need to receive what is known as a "right to sue" letter from the EEOC before suit can be filed.
A lawyer who is not paid until you win has taken the case on a "contingency" basis. You need to ask what method of payment is applicable if and when you consult him or her.
