Appeal deadline questions after an unemployment denial after 14 years as a recruiter

I was told my separation was for misconduct, which is not what happened. There are 14 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. My employer's version of events does not match mine, and I have emails that show it. Should I ask someone for free legal help?

Stay calm and stick to facts. Mine lasted about thirty minutes and felt more like a conversation than a trial.

Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It made the follow-up calls so much easier.
