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

I got a denial letter last week saying I left my job voluntarily, but I was let go as a web developer. I have been trying to stay organised about it. I have not done a hearing before and I am nervous. Did you bring documents or only talk?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 9 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
