Great service from April, she is very smart and talented Attorney, she helped my sister with the housing issues.

Things were so crazy for me during the 1st year of the pandemic. Schools closed, daycares closed and working from home with 4 kids under 10 was near impossible. My employer accommodated as much as reasonably possible if not more, but when I ended up getting COVID-19 during Christmas well it was awful. I really don't remember much aside from when I finally woke up I had gotten a text from my employer letting me go. I get it. they had business needs. So I filed for unemployment. after they called me and I explained why they said I should not have any problems with getting it. 2 days later I got a denial stating I was being disqualified due to misconduct. So I called and they said I needed to file an appeal. I was hurt that my employer would have said something like that. So I called Legal Aid of NE. They took my case right away and helped by filing exhibits in preparation for my appeal as well as representing me in it. the Legal Aid attorney communicated with me every step of the way and made sure I understood as well. She almost always answered her phone and always returned my calls. I waited and waited and waited for an answer to our appeal, but nothing was coming in. The Legal Aid attorney was quick to call anyone and everyone to get answers. Eventually I did get my benefits thanks to the diligent work of those at Legal Aid. Thank you Legal Aid!

This group of people are life savers! They go so far to help regular people who cannot afford big attorneys, and they get the job done! Thank you so much for your work in our community!
