Monica Denine Wilson

My experience with this attorney Moinca Wilson is that she is completely unprofessional and lacks the knowledge and compassion to be performing such a crucial role. Currently, I do not know if a decision was made in my favor or not in my unemployment appeal however, I can say is my experience with... this attorney was simply awful. During my hearing the employer “did not show” and I had several articles of evidence that should make the hearing case a slam dunk. Monica Wilson was very aware of each of these articles as we discussed them in a hearing prep in which I thought she was making case notes. During the hearing she ask three questions total, these were questions that the hearing officer had already asked prior. She never asked questions that I felt were key and that showed that the employer had an on going history of this same complaint. Unfortunately, as the claimant in the hearing I was unable to answer almost anything other than “yes” or “no” answer which prevented me from mentioning or adding on to important issues. Monica gave a very simple 10 second closing argument that I truly believe my five year old could have made. Monica did not even have the courtesy to follow up with a debriefing and after emailing her several times, I finally received a response that was open ended and no help at all. I contacted her by phone and was told that I have asked her to many questions to stop and calm down. Not once did I raise my voice or come close to having an attitude that was as unprofessional as hers. I felt the need to send this as a warning to all looking to choose an attorney for an unemployment hearing please do your research and please choose wisely. Please note I do not know if the hearing was made in my favor this review is done based solely on my evaluation of her as an attorney.

Ms. Wilson recently represented me in my telephone appeals hearing for my Unemployment Insurance Benefits that had been denied by the Adjudicator. I waited three months after I filed my appeal until I heard a response from the Appeals Commission that my case had been assigned to an Appeals referee an...d that my appeals hearing would be conducted via telephone. I only had three weeks to prepare for my hearing date from the time I received notification in the mail from the Commission. Initially, I had not considered retaining an attorney to represent me in the hearing, but I received several letters from attorneys offering to represent me in my hearing with one letter being from Wilson Law Group. Not knowing anything about them, I turned to the Internet to find out more about the lawyers who sent me letters. After reading reviews from other past clients, I chose Monica Wilson to represent me, based on the many positive reviews posted by others. With less than two weeks before my hearing, I called Ms. Wilson's Office late on a Thursday afternoon and left a message. I was called back by Pat within an hour and I explained my situation. Pat was very nice an helpful and she felt that Ms. Wilson could help me with my appeal. She promptly emailed me the information and forms I needed to retain service and the fee required. I completed the forms and emailed everything, including my documents for the hearing the next Monday. Pat scheduled a time later in the week where Ms. Wilson would call me to discuss my case. Ms. Wilson called me a couple of days later and discussed my case in depth. She prepared me as to what to expect during the hearing and what I would be doing. My hearing went just as Ms. Wilson described earlier and I personally feel that Ms. Wilson and her staff made the difference in getting my case overturned from the prior denial of benefits. My appeal was ruled in my favor and I owe everything to Monica Wilson and her staff! I'm very thankful!
