Denied unemployment, how do I appeal? - 15 weeks in

My claim was denied after 15 weeks of waiting, and the letter says I have a short window to appeal. I have been trying to stay organised about it. 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?

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

File the appeal before the deadline, even if you are unsure. You can gather documents afterwards. That is the one part I would not wait on.
