Unemployment Law Project

This team is responsive, concise and professional. Working through an unemployment issue when you're already down from lack of work, confusion, stress and money is running out on your own is daunting. Having the support of an attorney who checks in on your court hearing, your documents, and just is there for you through the appeal or hearing process can make the world of a difference. An invaluable resource for Washington residents.

They are very kind, they helped me to find information

They DO call back. It might take a few days but they're the only free resource regarding UI in the Seattle area don't you think they're probably swamped with calls? Do you know any other lawyers/advocates that would even possibly take your case on a free/donation (albeit a very small one) basis? Give them a break, if they DIDN'T call back maybe you're the reason? Would you call back someone who blew you up everyday? Or left multiple rambling messages? Would you want to call that person back? These are people trying to do the most amount of good with limited resources. They're a charity, not a state / tax funded program, They don't OWE you anything. Be clear, be respectful, and be short with questions and long with listening to the answer. You should be ashamed of you left them a 1, 2 or 3 star review. Didn't your mother teach you beggars can't be choosers? If you don't like the way a charity Acts don't put yourself in a position to need a charity...

No one ever answers the phone. No one called back after my intake when I left messages. I was told to call and despite knowing I only had a week left they ghosted me. Highly unprofessional and I wonder if this is allowed by the Bar.

had a great experience working with Andy. He makes sure to walk you through everything and that you understand the process and the legal arguments he plans to use. After months of having this stress, my case was overruled (in my favor) the same day. thank you Andy!!! only issue is the communication process of getting through to the service. you have to call and leave a message for a call back every time. so if you miss their call, you have to call back and leave a message again. I nearly missed my intake call because that call is from a blocked number (rather than their normal line), but my phone automatically directs blocked calls to voicemail. that's really my challenge with using ULP.

Andrew P was our attorney and was great. So helpful, helped us prepare and be ready for our court date with the judge. Would highly recommend this group of people!!!

These people care about their clients.

My unemployment law attorney, Meg Bridewell, was truly exceptional in every way. Her deep understanding of unemployment law, meticulous attention to detail, and courtroom skills secured a positive outcome for me. Her support and communication offered me reassurance throughout the process, and thanks to her efforts, I won my case. I highly recommend her for her unmatched professionalism and commitment to her clients. Thank you, Meg!

My representative was overworked and therefore ineffective. I felt as though I was just a number and that I was under-serviced. Think twice before accepting free legal services.

I left several messages with several different people, never heard back. I decided to call until I was able to talk to somebody, when asked, she had no answer for lack of correspondence. With my hearing the next day, she asked if I would like to consult with someone, but that I wouldn’t be able to have representation and they would need me to postpone for 3 to 4 weeks until that would be a possibility. So, I told her I would appreciate a consultation before my hearing. I received a phone call from A woman who sounded like she had nothing but contempt for having to speak with me. Needless to say, she and I did not get anywhere, she was so rude that I was never able to have discourse. And how about the unprofessional voicemail guy. this place is a joke, Don’t waste your time!

Never respond back to customers on time.

I highly recommend the ULP to anyone having issues with unemployment benefits. Andy and the rest of the staff I have been in contact with have been exceptionally helpful and understanding. Thanks to you all for helping me get the results we were hoping for.

Thank you so much to Andy he was professional, knowledgeable, organized, and truly cared about my situation. He was able to help me and assist in a favorable outcome. I highly recommend the Unemployment Law Project to anyone looking for assistance with unemployment.

First of all, one of the reviews said that ULP "charges you". This is not my experience. A donation of one week's benefits is requested for their service and they made the request clear to me right off the bat, without making me feel obligated. Given everything, I had a positive experience with ULP. My case was very complicated and it was easy for even me to get lost in the mess of it. The director John Tirpak represented me. He was optimistic and helped me to keep things simple. The whole process took two hearings, and I was supported the entire time. Even though there were several months of waiting in between, I felt good knowing that ULP was there to do what they could when it was time to fight my case a second time. Three years of pandemic unemployment mess and stress and I have finally found some relief.

Always reliable
