Portland Unemployment Appeals Lawyer

Have you been denied unemployment benefits in Oregon?

If you applied for unemployment benefits and your claim was denied, you are legally entitled to appeal the decision. The EDD will notify you by mail regarding the denial, with instructions and a deadline for filing a notice of intent to appeal. After you have informed the EDD that you want to appeal the decision, a date will be set for a hearing before a judge. A favorable outcome to your appeal can be critical to your financial future. If you have been denied unemployment benefits, consult a Portland employment lawyer to find out more about the appeal process and how to present your case before a judge.

HKM Employment Attorneys is a resourceful employment law firm that can give you pertinent advice regarding an appeal, as well as represent you at your hearing. We have a comprehensive understanding of employment laws, and will be tenacious advocates when pursuing any benefits you are due.

Portland Employment Attorney: Compassionate Legal Representation

The denial of unemployment benefits can be disheartening and cause considerable financial difficulties. Claims are often denied if you voluntarily quit your job. Other reasons for a claim denial include:

Failure to seek employment following your termination
Not providing information requested by the EDD
Not accepting employment that you are qualified for
Providing incomplete, false or misleading information to the EDD

There can be many ways to challenge a denial depending on the circumstances of your particular situation. A knowledgeable attorney from our firm can review you case and discuss all of your legal options. We have helped many clients appeal unemployment benefit denials, and will honestly answer your questions and address your concerns. In addition to an appeal and based on the facts of your case, our lawyers can also discuss the procedures for filing a wrongful termination lawsuit.
