In theory at least, terminated or laid-off workers are eligible for collecting unemployment except in cases of willful misconduct or an unjustified quit on the part of the employee. In our experience, unemployment benefits cases can often fall into one of several patterns:
- The employer dismisses the worker for a reason that would support the award of benefits, but opposes the application on the ground of willful misconduct by stating a different reason for the termination
- The employer fires the worker for a pretextual, false reason that is different from the real reason, which will often support a claim for wrongful termination, retaliation, discrimination, etc.
- The employee is forced to quit because of harassment, a sudden change in duties, demotion, impending layoff, etc.

We represent clients in Unemployment Hearings before a Referee. While investigating an adverse unemployment benefits decision, we often find evidence that would support a claim of Wrongful Discharge, Discrimination, Unpaid Wages or Unlawful Retaliation. If we find such evidence in your case, you might end up collecting a lot more than unemployment benefits. We handle hearings before referees on a contingency fee basis, which means we don't get paid unless you get paid. Our knowledge of the referee process and how unemployment claims are handled means we can leverage your case, assert your rights, and ensure you aren't taken advantage of.
