I have a hearing set to discuss my supposed unemployment overpayment

[bif]

It's set for next week via phone. They claim I owe almost $8,000. This has been dragging on since last August. Any advice?

[shenmue]

1. Can you get a lawyer, pro bono?

Best of luck.

[bif]

2. I think I can. However, my daughter's an attorney.

I may rope her into service.

[shenmue]

3. All right

High five

4. My son-in-law had a hearing

By phone with these dudes he lost. Hope you have a better lawyer than he had.

5. Shit! That doesn't bode well.

6. If you get a lawyer and lose, you are out the money AND the legal fees nt

[bif]

7. Actually, they'll appoint a representative if I want

However, from what I read, they' don't necessarily have a legal background. And I can have my daughter represent me.

8. Call your daughter... My son-in-law had the appointed lawyer. EOM
