<DIV>I feel sorry for your friend. I would urge her, rather than calling a lawyer who is not an employment specialist (I believe Sharon is interested in real estate), to contact the American Bar Association's referral service. It provides referrals to lawyers with expertise in specific fields who can talk to her about her legal rights. The first half-hour consultation costs very little, and she can decide where she wants to go from there. The number will be listed in the telephone book.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I believe these sorts of cases are very hard and very expensive to fight. Further, since she quit her job, she is technically not eligible for unemployment compensation. However, she should probably go talk with the unemployment people. The loss of the job offer may make up for the fact that she quit, since that loss was involuntary, and thus she might qualify. I hope so. And I hope she finds another job soon.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Best,</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Folks,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm posting this on behalf of a friend who is not on the list:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My friend is in need of legal advice. The situation:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>- She was offered a job</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>- She accepted the job offer </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>- She resigned her current job</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>- The new company rescinded the job offer</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>- Now she's out of a job</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Does my friend have any legal recourse? Does anyone know a good labor lawyer?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks for all your help,</FONT></DIV>
