The short answer is YES. The advice the previous lawyer gave is spot on. You should follow it and best of luck to you.

Most employment lawyers in your state offer free consultations. Speak with you, you can find them on here. Best of luck.

If you have a lot of money to waste you can sue them. But I suspect if you are on food stamps you don't. Best of luck.

From what you wrote I don't see any type of case. Hurt feelings isn't a lawsuit, nor harsh treatment. Best of luck.

Yes there is no law on truthful information. Especially if you list them as a reference or put them as your past employer.

If you are in a union contact them first. If not, speak with an employment lawyer in your state, you can find one on here. Best of luck.

You should make sure you are following the rules properly at work. Check with an attorney in your state and best of luck.

I moved your case out of employment and labor and into criminal defense. You should get better responses in that forum. Best of luck.

And what is your question? GO back to the dealership and have them check it out. What do you expect an attorney to do?

I agree with the previous two answers. Sounds like you are still under lease with the new owner. Best of luck.
