My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: California

On December 5, 2013 I told my employer I was filing a wage claim for every day I did not get a break and that I needed my records.
She asked me "When were you not given your break"
I said "Every day I worked 5 to 1"
She said "So you weren't given your lunch break?"
I said "No I was not given my 10 minute breaks"
She said "Why didn't you tell anyone about this?"
I said "I did, I told you about this and you said thats not how things work here"
She said "You only worked 4 hours that day"
I told her "Under California Labor law section 226, it states any employee who works over 3 hours and 30 minutes must be given a 10 minute break"
After that she refused to talk to me.

I waited 5 days, still did not hear from her. So I dropped off a letter to another employee and asked her to give it to my employer.
The letter just stated I requested my records on Dec. 5th, 2013. And to please have them mailed to me on or before Jan. 5th, 2014.
She then called me to have a "chat" with me. I went down to talk to her and she told me I was being fired for "not following instructions, not being a team player, and my register being short" None of which are true. After that, she gave me my final check and told me that she mailed a request to the local office and my records will be mailed to me.

I have many witnesses that work at my ex-job that can corroborate my story.
I was wondering how to go about filing a law suit against my employer.

I understand I can file a retaliation complaint found here

But should I wait to do that until I have filed my wage claim? I can not file my wage claim until I get my records in the mail.
