Is the attorney willing to take the case on contingency? If so, it likely a viable case, if not, it likely is not a viable case.
They are asking for 1500 fixed plus 35% of settlement. I am not very familiar with contingency arrangements - should it be upfront zero fees to represent?

Had this been a FMLA-protected absence, I might have been skeptical. As it was not, there's nothing that's jumping out at me as being inherently illegal or that transforms this into a wrongful term.
Thanks for quick reply. Will this not be considered retaliation when I have verbally complained that my job responsibilities are changed because of the sick leave / STD leave I have taken?
