All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

This website contains general information about unemployment law. The information is not advice and should not be treated as such. No lawyer–client, solicitor-client or attorney-client relationship shall be created through the use of our website. Our website includes interactive features that allow users to communicate with us. You acknowledge that, because of the limited nature of such communication, any legal assistance you may receive using any such facility is likely to be incomplete and may be misleading. Any legal assistance you may receive using any such facility does not constitute legal advice and accordingly should not be relied upon. Any unemployment appeal cannot be guaranteed a favorable outcome. You must not rely on the information on this website as an alternative to legal advice from your lawyer or other professional legal service provider. The unemployment representation is not licensed to practice law in any state, however, our unemployment representative possesses a juris doctorate degree and most states do not require one to be a licensed attorney in order to offer services within the boundaries set by a state’s administrative code. Representation includes, but not limited to, preparing the claimant prior to the hearing, in some cases, may not include being present for the hearing, depending on the hearing examiner’s discretion. A non-lawyer or a non-New Jersey lawyer may represent a claimant or employer before the New Jersey Appeal Tribunal or New Jersey Board of Review of the Department of Labor and Workforce Development, but may not receive a fee for such representation. You should never delay seeking legal advice, disregard legal advice, or commence or discontinue any legal action because of information on this website.
