Generally no (assuming you are in the US) but the particulars of the lawsuit can effect this. For example if the suit is unfounded (false or without any supporting evidence) then you may be fired for inpropriety or something similar.

Answer; Not if your lawsuit is legitimate.

How do you file a lawsuit against a former employer for wrongful termination without hiring an attorney?

Well it sucks but there is only one "at cause state" and is Montana. Every other state in this country is an "at will state", meaning that an employer/employee have the will to work policy, at any given time they can terminate with/without a reason, although they don't have to have a reason file unemployement and see what reason they give them and from there an investigation will be done, but if you feel you have been discriminated against then you file a complaint with the EEOC, then file a lawsuit against employer. The only way to prove wrongful termination is discrimanation.
