Denied unemployment, how do I appeal? - 17 weeks in

I was told my separation was for misconduct, which is not what happened. My employer's version of events does not match mine, and I have emails that show it. If you have appealed before, what helped you prepare?

Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It saved me later.

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