Aware_Yak's journey

I was laid off from my job last week after three years of working there, making a low six-figure salary. I'm 65 years old, and I was shocked to find out that the company is not offering any severance pay. They claim they gave me a month's notice, but according to New York State law, they only needed to provide two weeks. It feels like a poor attempt at doing me a favor. I spoke with an attorney about my situation, and he charges $400 for an initial consultation, taking one-third of any potential settlement after that. I'm uncertain if pursuing legal action is worth it, especially since New York is an "at will" state, which complicates things. I’m reaching out to see if anyone has advice or thoughts on whether I should seek counsel, considering the circumstances.
