Orlando Unemployment Compensation Appeals Attorneys
If you have been laid-off or fired by your employer, this can be emotional enough without trying to apply for unemployment compensation benefits only to learn your employer has rejected your application. If this has happened to you, it is easy to become confused, overwhelmed and frustrated when it comes to what you should do next.
Your first decision should be to call a lawyer who can assess your termination situation if you have received notice of the denial of compensation or unemployment compensation and have been scheduled for an unemployment compensation hearing or an appeal hearing. It is critical to be adequately prepared for the unemployment compensation hearing by gathering evidence, witnesses and assessing if your employer acted in conformity with company policy set out in the employee manual or handbook.

The Unemployment Compensation Hearing Process
Our lawyers can help you gather all of the necessary evidence needed to construct a strong case at the unemployment appeal hearing. You are entitled to counsel at these proceedings, and it is in your best interest to have someone who understands employment law on your side who will be able to delve into your employer's practices to see if they acted legally and ethically during the termination process.
While Florida is an employment at-will state, which means an employee can be dismissed at any time without cause, as long as it is not discriminatory, this does not mean an employer can also deny unemployment compensation benefits for any reason. There must be just cause. Often employers overlook this aspect and do not follow their own policies that are articulated in the employee manual or handbook. We can help prove these actions using the law, employee handbook, witness testimony and other evidence we will help you collect.
Also, if you believe you have been wrongfully terminated, we will explore if an equal employment opportunity commission complaint (EEOC) should be filed as well. We are here to help you with all your employment law needs and to make sure you are treated fairly. To schedule an appointment for a consultation, contact us online or call our office at 407-901-4385 (toll-free at 866-930-8268). Our office in Orlando is located west of I-4 on West Colonial Drive.
