In late October, I started experiencing major neurological issue.
Per medical advice from the neurologist, I submitted a ADA request for accomidation. 10 days after ADA request was submited, I was terminated.
Here is my issue: I have presented this to 3 law firms. All 3 have walked away? What are they seeing that I am not? The employer has communicated with Iowa Works. They want to settle ASAP. They need a legal filing so they have cause to terminate the director that caused this.

Also, if you were terminated for performance or a layoff, your medical issue isn’t related.

My guess on why maybe they won’t take your case is that you’ve told the law firms this was the case, it’s indefinite leave, you’re hard to deal with, you work for a very small employer, or something else.

True. But who knows what he told the firms.

Lawyers love slam dunks. But if 3 different firms have turned it down, then it probably ain’t one. Unless you’re offering to pay someone by the hour…

Did you request indefinite leave? They could have tried to justify the termination on undue hardship. Not saying there’s not a claim, but that’s how most employers presumably would have justified it.
