Being an at will employee, how can I file a lawsuit due to discrimination of character/race and receive justice for my termination?
I was terminated for the same actions my supervisor has committed. I never received a written warning. I was reprimanded for my tardies and he was not. I was not given the opportunity to apply for a director position which was not posted internally but was just handed to my supervisor. I questioned the ED protocol since we were an Equal Opportunity Employer. She never return to answer my questions. We both just received a promotion at same time but not less than 6mth he was given another position as director.

If you believe you are the victim of racial discrimination, you have two choices. One is to file a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). They will investigate your complaint, and you don't need a lawyer. It can take a while.
Your other option, in some cases, is to file a lawsuit. This is a very complex area of the law, and you need an experienced attorney to handle a case like this. One place to find lawyers is our website, http://attorneypages.com
