Unemployment Benefits

Have your unemployment benefits been denied?  Is the State of Michigan, the unemployment office, or your prior employer fighting your unemployment claim?  Contact us for your free consultation and possible representation!

L & B Agents has experienced representatives that have been helping claimants collect their Michigan unemployment benefits for over 20 years.  We can help you from the very beginning when filing for unemployment or at any time during the administrative process.  We can be there to help you every step of the way with courteous and knowledgeable help. 

We can help you file for unemployment, answer fact finding form questions, protest a determination, and appeal a redetermination.  We can also represent you in your unemployment hearings before an administrative law judge.  We represent claimants before the Michigan Unemployment Insurance Agency (UIA - the unemployment office), Michigan Administrative Hearing System (MAHS - the administrative law judges), and the Michigan Compensation Appellate Commission (MCAC - formally the Board of Review).  We have built a reputation with these agencies for knowledgeable and thorough representation.

We have helped clients who have been denied as a result of a firing, whether it be for alleged misconduct, absenteeism, theft, assault, or illegal drugs.  We have helped clients who have been denied for quitting a job, failing to apply for a job, or failing to accept a job.  We have helped clients who are held ineligible for benefits due to an alleged inability to work or unavailability for work.  We have helped clients who are held ineligible under the school denial provisions (Section 27) or employed provisions (section 48) of the Act.  We have helped clients under the TRA and TAA provisions of the federal statute.  We have helped people who owe restitution or are accused of fraud.  After 20 years, L & B Agents has probably dealt with whatever problem you have and can help you get the benefits you deserve.

We care about our clients and our community.  We are an accredited business of the Better Business Bureau of Western Michigan (BBB) with an A+ rating.  We have won awards through the BBB for small business of the year (1999) and for best in community service (2002).  While we represent you, you can expect the best the State of Michigan has to offer.  Our goal is to provide you with the best representation possible.

If you are collecting unemployment benefits, but your employer or the unemployment office is still fighting you, we can help.  If you have been denied your unemployment benefits for any reason, don't let the State of Michigan or your past employer win.  Contact us for a free consultation and possible representation.  In most cases, we get paid only if you get paid.

We look forward to serving you.
