I've never had to hire an attorney before, never needed one. But I was afraid. Although I was…read moretelling the truth I wouldn't get my point across, that I wouldn't win my case. Mark Liabo was the husband of a coworker with whom I used to work. I told him what happened at my job, that my "assignment had ended." My employer, TalentBurst Inc., said that I had 'quit' my temporary assignment. If an employer says that you 'quit' YOU have to PROVE that you did not quit. The burden of proof is on the employee NOT the employer. I thought this to be an important tidbit worth mentioning. If you know anything about unemployment you should know that you are not entitled to benefits if you quit your job. I was outraged that after 5 weeks of waiting for information from Iowa Workforce Development they had scheduled a fact finding interview that I missed. Once I discovered that I missed the interview I called the worker back within five minutes. She did not answer the phone; my call went straight to voice mail. I left the worker a message saying that I had not quit. I missed the interview but apparently so did my employer. And 'no' just because the employer didn't show doesn't mean you won. Adversely, 3 days later the IWD worker found that I had 'quit.' I had to appeal the decision. I could have represented myself in court but then I thought, "my employer will have an attorney, is it really wise to represent myself?" I called Iowa Legal Services in the hopes that they could help. I had 3 dealings with that organization and all were not pleasant. The atty. with whom I spoke told me to "stop talking, that I would be further incriminating myself if I continued to talk."' "Hm, I thought, I was telling the truth." Although Iowa Legal Services was free I wasn't comfortable letting them handle something so very important to me. I decided to hire Mark Liabo from Currie & Liabo. We talked twice, each time for about an hour. He was kind, knowledgeable, and straight forward. The night before the hearing, June 11, 2020, Mark 'coached me.' He helped me focus and not just provide information that I 'thought' was relevant. WE WON our case! Granted I should have won my case, I didn't quit. And yet I was not confident that justice would prevail without the help of Mark Liabo. The fee? It was VERY reasonable. In retrospect, if I were to do it over, would I hire an attorney at an unemployment hearing? Absolutely! That was the best money I ever spent!

I contacted Phil and after looking it all over, he took the case and from there on, he stood up for me and didn't let me down. I can't go into detail but I do want to confirm that this case was difficult because of the judge's extremely biased decisions and accusations made about me. I was in tears and more many times and Phil was right there and let me vent or grieve. He is easy to talk to and he listens well. For my case anyway, I found him a hero.
