Do I need an employment/labor lawyer?

It depends on the law in Florida. Most of the time there needs to be an illegal reason for your termination, not just a personality conflict or a boss who is a jerk. In some states (maybe Florida), employers need a good reason for termination.

The answer to this question likely depends a lot on why the employer is mistreating you and whether the content of the offensive comments gives clues to that (e.g., use of racial slurs or comments demeaning to women, religion, etc.). I think it makes sense for you to call lawyers in Florida to ask them about the case. Usually they will talk it over on the phone for 10 minutes for free to see if it will end up being a contingency fee case before the make you pay for a consultation. Many lawyers waive consultation fees in good strong cases.

Good luck with your case!!

Florida is an employment at will state. If you did not have an employment contract then your employer can terminate your job for any reason as long as it does not fall under any protected category (discrimination, etc.). Make sure you file for unemployment.
You should consult with an employment law attorney so he or she can better evaluate the facts of your case.

If you are an at-will employee, you can be fired for any reason or no reason, except unlawful discrimination.

If you do not have an employment contract or union to represent you, your recourse is limited.

No one can know what the record is in the case because online we cannot find out any details. If you have a discrimination theory about hostile workplace conditions you'll need a lawyer. Check with a lawyer in your locale to discuss more of the details.

Good luck to you.

God bless.
