Albany Attorneys Helping Clients Appeal Denied Unemployment Claims
In New York, if you have applied for unemployment benefits and your claim has been denied, you are entitled to a fair hearing before an administrative law judge at the New York State Department of Labor (DOL). If you wish, you can be represented by a lawyer at this hearing.

Protecting Your Rights to the Benefits You Legally Deserve
Unemployment compensation is designed for people who have been laid off from their jobs through no fault of their own. Employees who have been fired for insubordination or poor performance, and employees who have quit their jobs, are not eligible for unemployment.
Unfortunately, many employers try to manipulate the system in order to reduce their liability for unemployment insurance by claiming that former employees quit or were fired.
In some cases, employers who want to lay off employees will instead give them unreasonable tasks or assign them excessive hours in order to try to get them to quit. In other cases, employers will manufacture "cause" for firing employees who have not done anything wrong.
If your unemployment claim has been denied, our experienced employment law attorneys will carefully investigate the facts of your case in order to establish your eligibility for benefits. We will then represent you at your hearing and at any further appeals that are necessary.
