Unemployment Law
We appear at unemployment benefits appeals hearings. We represent both employers and employees. We charge a fixed fee rather than billing on an hourly fee basis, so your attorney fees are predictable. Every year unemployment lawyer Brian Stutheit wins dozens of unemployment appeals hearings. Stutheit & Gartland also represents employers or employees facing claims for repayment or underpayment of taxes. We also defend audits of employers by the Division of Unemployment.
Brian is the absolute best!
