    Did they give you a generous seperation package? If not, and they have no legitimate reason to fire you, wait until the nephew gets in and sue them for wrongful termination. Settle out of court for a little extra cash.

    I thought about it but I think since it was a private company and I did not sign any contracts to start work there I doubt there is a way to sue

    It all depends on whether NY is a "right to work" state. But if it were me, I don't think I'd want to work for the guy anyway. If you do get your job back there are a hundred ways that he can goad you into quitting And if there are any damages, they're usually limited to actual losses. It sounds like it's just best to let it go and find something different (i.e., better.) In the mean time, file for unemployment. He's gotta pay for it until you find something else.
