UNEMPLOYMENT COMPENSATION

It has become increasingly apparent that there is a cross-over between workers’ compensation and unemployment cases. While the two areas of law are mutually exclusive by way of collateral estoppel, it is clear the same issues are simultaneously being litigated in both forums. By using the unemployment and workers’ compensation forums to bolster defenses in both claims, we achieve successful results for our clients. Our unemployment practice is full service, with our attorneys handling claims at all levels of the courts. We welcome the opportunity to work with you in defending your unemployment compensation matters.
