The issue about clearing my name is because I didn't do what
they alleged I did. To me that is defamation. Am I wrong????

No attorney would take my case for less than 500.00. How am I
supposed to come up with that if I am unemployed???

I got the book about California unemployment appeals so I'm
going to represent myself. Wish me luck!
