Monica Denine Wilson

I would like to thank Monica Wilson and Pat Lane in regards to handling my case. I was in a fight against the county's school system and Monica and Pat were passionate about my case. I have been to numerous lawyers in the past, all for different reasons, and it was never the expectation that they dro...pped everything for my call. They have busy schedules and that should be understandable. Although she and I only spoke once, she cared not only about my case but encouraged me not to give up on teaching. I thank her for her help in my case!

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 responded quickly to my telephone call to her office. She and I had a good discussion and she told me right away that I had a rightful case. I greatly appreciate all the help she provided me. I must admit I was concerned about the hearing, but she handled all my concerns and worries ver...y well.

My Appeal was on a Friday and Monica called me on Monday morning saying congratulations. I was truly obsessing about my case and was nervous about the appeal process. Monica listened to me and felt that my case was worth appealing. I appreciated her calm mannerism over the phone and the help she g...ave me. Thanks Monica
