Posted by anonymous | July 22, 2015 | Wrongful Termination

I'm an attorney & she represented me

I'm also an attorney and I've just had occasion today to refer one of my own contract cases to Ms. Wilson because I have a conflict. I thought of her immediately because she actually represented me personally a couple years ago when I was wrongfully terminated by an employer and they appealed my unem...ployment. She won my case, and made me feel confident and well-represented throughout. You would be surprised how anxious lawyers can be about the system when we know just enough outside of our own area of law to be more worried than the average layperson. I recommend her without hesitation, as I did today, even if you are far afield from Durham. She traveled 90 minutes from Durham for my hearing, and I'm very thankful that she did.

Best Attorney for Unemployement Issues

I had consultations with several attorneys. I choose Monica because of her experience. Department of Employment Security (Unemployment) had advised me that I did not qualify for benefits paid to me in 2012, and that I owed them $12,000. I hired Monica and with her knowledge and guidance she won th...e case for me. I am so happy, because without an excellent attorney I might be paying DES back money that was rightfully due to me.

Unemployment Appeal

I had an appeal hearing on an unemployment case that was initially disapproved on an employee of mine. It was apparent that this individual was trying to use the system to receive monies for his failure to work. Monica represented my case at the appeal and the knowledge she has as well as her prese...ntation of the facts were extremely professional and right on point. As a result, the appeal referee found in favor of my company.

Monica Wilson has Integrity

I cannot explain in words how grateful I am to Monica Wilson. As a single mother, getting laid off has been devastating. I will not waste time by giving every detail, but I will say that I "refused" a job according to the laws of unemployment. The unemployment officers agreed with me, but the compan...y that offered me the job did not. So, I found myself having to attend an appeals hearing. One can imagine the stress and worry of going up against a large company, and the possibility of having to repay thousands of dollars that you do not have. I received letters from several lawyers wanting to represent me in my case. I called each one as well as researched them via the internet. I ended up choosing Monica Wilson because she was honest with me from the get go. She did not fill my head full of promises nor did she charge me for the initial consultation. I have to say that the thing I liked most about Ms. Wilson was her integrity. She beleives, as I do, that the truth matters. She did not ask me to lie. She did not try to convince me to "twist" things in order to win my appeal. Monica Wilson knows the law and she knows that the truth matters. She did not let my case be turned into a he said she said case. She stuck to the law and the truth. I won my appeal. Thank You Monica Wilson!

Monica is the Best!

Monica is an expert on the subject of unemployment law. I researched several attorneys concerning unemployment law and Monica came out way ahead of the others. I wouldn't have won without her knowledge, experience and thorough review of my case. I would strongly recommend Monica to handle your une...mployment issues. She is definitely the best!!!
