I've spoken to several attorneys and law firms throughout the state and have settled on one and signed the papers and all that stuff today. I want to thank all of you for giving me advice on what to ask and look for when speaking to them all, it really helped in narrowing it down and figuring out who was the best to go with. I can't really give out a whole lot of information because we are just starting to gather all the pieces and put it all together. There most likely will not be any updates to this for quite some time.
To answer the endless messages I received about race, I am white and early 20's, the person I was misidentified as is also white but in his 30's.
I spoke to my boss and HR and will be back at work very soon and 2 months pay advance that will be paid back with OT. Also my landlord was really nice and is letting me pay the back rent over the next few months in installments.

I’m having a hard morning and almost cried happy tears reading this update. I’m glad the landlord is reasonable but holy cow that guys work is being so great. His job back AND an advance? He must be a really good employee.

That made me happy.
From the sound of it, it sounds like he was able to get multiple attorneys to be interested for him to shop around. Shows that his case probably has a fighting chance.

I love a positive update, I'm glad OP is getting his life back. Also is cool to see that the internet is full of bros sometimes.
