Need legal advise from an attorney regarding an ADA claim?

I am a disabled retired detective sergeant with 10 years on the pd when I left in 2005. I worked for best buy for 2 years after leaving the PD before my back problems became to hard to bare. I left best buy on disability in Sept 07, shortly thereafter, my wife was hired by best buy. My wife has been working for best buy for 2 years now. She originally applied for a full time position so we could get insurance so I could continue treatment. Because my injury was pre-existent to entering the PD, getting the pension was an uphill battle, so forget the insurance. My divorce attorney a couple years ago told me I should sue the PD for medical ins., but they were good to me, it wouldn’t set right with me to sue them.

The manager I had worked for at best buy temporarily transferred to another department. When he returned he wanted to help us out and get her into a full time position. He kept harping the the gm until finally the gm snapped at him and said she will never have a full time position in your department or any other because I think her husband is faking his disability. He ended up putting her in a full time slot against his gm’s wishes. The gm ended up turning his $4000 bonus into a $400 bonus. As a result the manager put in his notice to quit and is willing to testify as to what he was told in regards to my disability. I spoke with a half wit attorney last night that said he wasn’t sure if I had a case he would have to talk to colleagues. I’ve been trying without success to get through to the eeoc today. Do I have a case against best buy?
