If you were a good employee, but had a misunderstanding with your former employer you should have tried to get a Letter of Recommendation. It's tough to prove that your former employer is saying anything bad about you so there is little you can do. I don't know how long you worked before, but, if it was just a year or two then on your Resume just skip the last job if you can. I have done that. If they ask just say you took the year off. If I don't trust the former employer I will choose a Supervisor or another person with a position in that company for the next possible employer to contact.

To my knowledge, employers can ask about your attendance. They are NOT permitted to ask why you were out of the office. They are NOT permitted to ask questions about your religious or sexual orientations. They are not permitted to ask specifics about whether or not the previous employer thinks you are ugly or a liar or whatever. If the potential employer does ask these, you can file a lawsuit.
