    I worked for Allied Barton Security Services from October 2007-November 2011. I had never once been written up. I had become a Shift Supervisor after working for just over a year at my last site. I consistantly worked overtime for them no matter how inconvientent it was for me. I even dropped out of school twice to accomidate this company because they couldn't find competant people to work for them and they would get fired with no replacing officer.
    
    So this brings me to Thanksgiving of 2012. I was covering for another officer of another shift. So I was working a double on Thanksgiving. During this entire 16 hours I did not get a single break because there was no one qualified to sit in the security command center besides me. I had my wife bring me thanksgiving dinner. Now let me reveal to you that I am a female. She had just met some of my family for the first time and they did not make her feel welcome. So she came to my job to talk about what happened and calm down. Since I could not leave the security command center to take a break to help her I had her come into an inbetween box. There are 2 doors to get into the security command center. This way I could still monitor the site and talk to her. Now remember I was there for 16 hours with no break. Time flows in a different way if you don't look at a clock. I thought she was only there for a few minutes. Though I found out later she was there for closer to 45 minutes. But still no reason to be fired, enspecially since I did not leave work due to a family emergency.
   
    A few days after this shift to be specific the 28th of november I came into work for my third shift, and I was told by the second shift supervisor that all of third shift had to stay to be interviewed, and if we didn't stay we would be disciplined. What if I had an appointment or something? Luckily I didn't. 
    
    29th of november I went up for my interview. I found out that someone had stolen money out of one of the wallets out of the lost and found. So they were questioning me about this. Then they asked me if anyone who wouldn't come up on the card readers had been there from a certain time to another time. I told them that Karee (my wife) had come to bring me dinner and had stayed for a few minutes to talk. They then asked me who karee was and I disclosed my sexuality and said that she was my wife. They then made some weird grunting noise, shook their heads, and wrote something down. They then moved on and continued interviewing me about the wallet.
    
    Its obvious they would never be able to find out who actually stole the money out of the wallet unless that person confessed. The client was not happy with them. I suspect they needed to "chop" a head off to please the client. They chopped mine. They went back to the cameras and saw just how long she had stayed. They then woke me up later that day lied to me and said they had to interview me again so I needed to come in right away.
    
    I got there in 20 minutes and then waited another 20 minutes for the account manager to get back to his office even tho I had just talked to him because I had called his office phone when I got onsite to find out where I should meet him. When he finally got there he brought over some photos from the cameras and put them in front of me. To make this short he said you made me look like an a*s by lying and then pulled out the termination sheet. I said so you are going to fire me because I was consoling my wife and getting dinner and didn't realize how much time had passed. And he said you lied so we can't have you here. I then said I didn't lie I just didn't realize how long it was. He said he would set me up an meeting with the HR rep for the next day and would call me with the time. It is now 2012 and I have not heard from him. 
    
    So pretty much he is claiming I lied and had no proof. Does anyone know of a lawyer that would be able to help me sue this company. I suspect they fired me because I am gay and because they needed to cut off a head.
