Important Update: Burdick Law PLLC to Focus on Unemployment Insurance Appeals

Since its founding in 2023, Burdick Law PLLC has represented workers in wage & hour cases, discrimination cases, unemployment cases, and civil litigation. Effective April 1, 2025, Burdick Law PLLC will be reorienting its practice to exclusively take on new clients in unemployment cases.

Why unemployment? In the last two years, I have learned that there is a pressing need across this state for better representation for workers in these cases. Many lawyers won't take these cases because they are (relatively) small-dollar matters, and because fees must be approved by the Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board. That means many workers are left representing themselves. Without a professional understanding of the complexities of unemployment law, many of these workers are denied benefits or even required to repay benefits that they're rightly entitled to.

That's not fair. But beyond unfair, that can be financially devastating to workers who depend on unemployment insurance to fill the gaps in their careers. Sure, these cases often only involve a few thousand dollars, a tiny fraction of what's at stake in a discrimination or personal injury case. But when that money makes the difference between affording groceries and rent, or having to pick and choose among necessities, it can be life-altering.

Burdick Law PLLC is committed to ensuring access to justice for people of lesser economic means. Losing a job is hard enough without the stress of an unemployment case hanging over your head. Let us help you today.
