Have you ever felt that you were fired and denied unemployment compensation benefits unfairly? Or, as an employer, have you ever felt that unemployment compensation law should bar benefits for a particular employee?
If there ever is a next time, perhaps you should consider a consultation with an unemployment compensation lawyer who understands unemployment compensation law. Virtually all cases involving wrongful discharge include the threshold question of entitlement to unemployment compensation benefits.
I have been practicing law in the Philadelphia, Bucks County and Montgomery County areas since 1974 and since that time I have won well over 300 unemployment compensation cases. My success rate is well over 90% of all cases in which I have participated. The most important thing to consider in preparing for an unemployment compensation hearing is documentation. Disciplinary memos or documentation of any probationary period is important for both sides.
Consider the reason for discharge. Is the reason documented? Can you describe the reason as intentional misconduct (the position favorable to the employer) or can you describe the reason as negligence (the position, under certain circumstances, favorable to the employee)?
Stephen Hurvitz, Unemployment Compensation Lawyer
An attorney can often make the difference between success and failure at the hearing. A skilled lawyer will conduct a better cross examination of the other side than a lay person. A skilled attorney may be able to keep out certain testimony because of a technical violation of the rules of evidence. Knowledge of legal standards involved is crucial.
