A: Call some employment lawyers. If your former employer is interested in resolving you have a case. The big question. What will it take to resolve it so both sides agree? That takes skill.

A: Your situation is heartbreaking. Yes, it sounds like you have a case. Talk to an attorney. Most employment lawyers would take your case on contingency.
