Unemployment Compensation Appeals

Miami Unemployment Compensation Attorneys

Your job has been terminated, so you apply for unemployment compensation benefits to the Florida Agency for Workforce Innovation (AWI). Your employer claims that you do not qualify, so benefits are denied. What can you do?

Hire an Unemployment Compensation Attorney

The law firm of Touby and Woodward has assisted workers with appeals for unemployment compensation benefits for years. When you are denied benefits, contact the firm as quickly as possible and arrange for an initial conference with an attorney. A request for an appeal hearing must be made within 20 days after the denial was mailed to you.

The Appeal Process

One of our lawyers will listen as you explain the circumstances of your termination and evaluate your case. We can write a letter to the AWI's Office of Appeals that requests an appeal hearing and explains the reasons why you deserve to receive benefits. Our attorney can represent you at the hearing when it is scheduled.

After the appeal hearing is completed, you may receive a document that informs you of the decision. If you disagree with the decision, you may request a review by the Unemployment Appeals Commission, which will review the claim documents and the record of the hearing and make a final decision.

Forceful Legal Assistance

Having an attorney to help you through the appeal process will be an advantage in processing your claim. Our knowledge of the system and its procedures can be a valuable tool in navigating toward successful resolution.

Contact our law office to arrange for a free initial appointment. A lawyer will evaluate your case and explain your legal options. We look forward to working with you.
