Appeal deadline questions after an unemployment denial - what worked for you?

I was told my separation was for misconduct, which is not what happened. I have been trying to stay organised about it. The letter lists a deadline and a hearing process, but it is hard to follow. 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.

Legal aid offices and some workforce centres help with unemployment hearings at no cost. A call is worth it.
