First of all, wrongful termination has to do with being fired for breach of a union agreement or employment contract, or being fired due to some form of legally actionable discrimination or retaliation. So for example, if you were fired due to your race, religion, disability, age (over 40), national origin, etc. then you would have a claim. Otherwise, as an "at will" worker, you could have been discharged for any reason or no reason at all, with or without notice. Since you provided no details of your situation, you should consult directly with a local lawyer who can review your case and then advise you further.
