age discrimination / retaliation

in january i formally notified my employer that i believed i was being denied a salary increase because of my age (51). that same day, i was locked out of my email and computer system, a younger employee was promoted into the terminal manager position that i formerly held, and the locks were changed n the facility. i filed an age discrimination charge with the EEOC, notice of which my employer recived in February, on the same day they received the complaint, i was told to move to dispatch. both the new terminal manager and i explained that it was not necessary for me to be in dispathch at that time as business was very slow and there were other employees more capatable of handling the work. on March 5th i was told that either i move to the position or be terminated, i declined to do so at that time, and wanted legal advise, at that point i was terminated. i belive that i the above actions were all taken in retaliation of my having filed both an internal complaint and an EEOC charge alleging age discrimination, Right now i have filed a complaint with the EEOC as well as a Retaliation chage, when should i get and retain an attorney. - Is this your question?
