Wrongful Termination
I was terminated from my previous job for the reason, as indicated by the person who fired me, "I don't think she can handle it." Although this company has an "at will" policy, I was not informed that I was terminated "at will," but that I was terminated for the reason indicated above.
My question is, if the documented reason for termination (above) can be disproven, do I have a case? For instance, if my work performance can be reviewed and proven satisfactory for the period I was employed at the company, and that I was not terminated in accordance to the "at will" policy (i.e., for no reason at any time),do I have a case?

You would not have a case unless they broke the law in firing you, e.g. discrimination, etc.
If the employment is "at will," that means that you or the company can terminate the employment at any time for any reason or for no reason.
The fact that you may have been performing satisfactorily does not matter unless they fired you for an unlawful reason (discrimination, etc.).
