Unemployment Compensation Appeals

If you have been dismissed from your job without just cause (i.e., misconduct), you should be eligible for unemployment compensation. An employer can fight and win the appeal if they terminated an employee for job-related misconduct, and if the employer previously warned the employee that their job was in jeopardy. Chapman Law Group has contested many unemployment issues.

The attorneys at Chapman Law Group can help you win your unemployment appeal, because they have experience with appeal hearings. The key to an effective appeal, is proper preparation for the telephonic hearing with the Appeals Referee. The Unemployment Appeals hearing before the Appeals Referee, is a critical step in the process. It is the only opportunity that you will have to introduce evidence to prove your case and obtain the unemployment benefits that you are entitled to receive.

A claimant who receives an adverse notice/determination has the right to protest that notice/determination and to participate in a hearing before an Appeals Referee. Upon receiving an appeal from a terminated employee (claimant), the Office of Appeals schedules a hearing. The Office of Appeals notices all interested parties, so the parties can appear and address the issues. The parties will be mailed a Notice of Hearing, telling them when the hearing will be held and whether they are expected to participate in-person or by telephone.
