Got a denial letter for unemployment, what now? - 9 months and counting

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. Should I ask someone for free legal help?

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.

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