When the State of Nevada makes a decision about an application for unemployment benefits, either the employee or employer can file an appeal to reconsider the decision. Protecting your right to receive unemployment benefits can be a stressful and complex process. We are here to help you through the process.
How Can We Help?
We offer experienced representation in unemployment appeals for both regular unemployment (U/I) and for Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA).
We can assist you with your unemployment appeal at any level (Referee, Board of Review, District Court).
If we represent you at the Referee level, we will review your case, submit any evidence you have, and represent you at the hearing by asking questions (including cross-examination), presenting evidence, and making a closing argument.
At the Board of Review level, we will review your case and submit a written appeal letter that makes arguments based on the facts of your case and the law to try to convince the Board to reverse the Referee’s decision.
At the District Court level, we will file legal briefs with the Court and, if needed, argue on your behalf at a hearing with the Court. We will also serve documents on the other parties and file any needed follow-up briefs.
We charge $250/hr for representation with unemployment appeals at all levels. You must pay a retainer up front to cover the costs in advance. The price for representation typically ends up being in the following ranges, but depends on the complexity of the case:
- Appeal hearing with referee: $1,500-$2,500
- Appeal to Board of Review: $500-$1,000
- Appeal to District Court: $2,000-$3,500
If you’re interested in representation in Nevada, then submit your information in the form below and we’ll do our best to get back to you within 1-3 business days. The price of a consultation for unemployment cases is $250. A consultation is required before we can agree to represent you; it allows us to evaluate your case and helps you decide whether hiring an attorney is the right choice for you. By doing a consultation, we are not necessarily agreeing to represent you in your appeal. We need to understand the strength of your case and make sure we are a good fit to work together.
Online Video Course
If you can’t afford to hire us or want to represent yourself, we’ve created an online video series that covers the process from beginning to end. The videos include many tips based on our experience that can help you avoid serious mistakes and have a better chance of winning your appeal. For instance, we discuss how to prepare and submit evidence properly, how to give effective testimony, and how to deal with a difficult referee or employer.
We recommend that you watch our videos in the following situations: (1) if you plan to represent yourself at an appeal hearing (U/I or PUA); (2) if you want to learn about the process to help you decide whether to hire an attorney; (3) if you have an attorney and want to be fully prepared for your hearing. In other words, the videos are helpful for just about anyone who is involved in an unemployment appeal.
