You go about the lawsuit for wrongful termination the same way you would go about any lawsuit: by filing a summons and complaint. For amounts under the jurisdicational limit of your small claims court, you may be best off filing the suit pro se (acting as your own attorney) in small claims; for amounts over that limit, you would be better off hiring a lawyer to represent you. You can find instructions, timelines, sample forms, etc. from or through your local small claims court.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: The Answer(s) provided above are for general information only. The attorney providing the answer was not serving as the attorney for the person submitting the question or in any attorney-client relationship with such person. Laws may vary from state to state, and sometimes change. Tiny variations in the facts, or a fact not set forth in a question, often can change a legal outcome or an attorney's conclusion. Although AttorneyPages.com has verified the attorney was admitted to practice law in at least one jurisdiction, he or she may not be authorized to practice law in the jurisdiction referred to in the question, nor is he or she necessarily experienced in the area of the law involved. Unlike the information in the Answer(s) above, upon which you should NOT rely, for personal advice you can rely upon we suggest you retain an attorney to represent you.
