Getting a lawyer is a fine idea, but if this happened in the US, they don't owe you anything apart from optional COBRA (medical insurance for purchase). Severance pay is not required, and is typically not paid if a person terminates employment of their own volition. Even if a person is fired/laid off, severance isn't mandatory and is mostly about protecting the company from litigation/employees going to competitors.
