Attorney Ryan and Paige Sparks are two lawyers on IG who work on employment law cases. Ryan is CA based and his firm is licensed in several west coast states. Paige is licensed in MO.
Good luck.

The local bar association where you live has resources that help people find lawyers. Good luck.

You need to partner with an employment lawyer in your state for solid advice.

I thank you all for your input.
I have reached out to employment lawyers, the bar association, and anything that other entities could possibly help me with this. It's frustrating because there are so many layers to my situation, I'm overwhelmed and my anxiety is through the roof. I also have a severance attached to it all, so that's been stressful. Uuuuggghh! Thanks for letting me vent

If you've reached out to bar associations and employment attorneys for what you describe as a complex situation and received no solution why do you think anonymous likely non-legal group will help? I'm wondering if some of the employment attorneys you spoke with didn't tell you what you wanted to hear so you're searching to find one that will. This is likely leading to your stress and frustration.

Just wondering if you've been layed off and given a severance that requires you to sign a release and waiver of your rights to bring a claim. Are you struggling because the company may have violated the WARN Act and if you bring said claim you forfeit the severance pay which you need.
