What Our Clients Say
Mr. Beggs knew exactly what was going on with my case for unemployment. He explain the procedure very clearly to me and was prepared for the proceeding. Needless to say the proceeding was to my favor.
ODJFS reversed their decision on the next business day after the hearing in which Attorney Beggs represented me. He prepared me thoroughly for the questions I received, helped me gather the exact evidence the hearing officer was looking for, and gave a closing argument that the Judge accepted by virtue of the ruling in my favor.
Mr. Beggs helped me navigate an appeal hearing. It was well worth it to have his experience and knowledge in your corner. He is very thorough and helps to put you at ease with the process. I highly recommend talking with him about your legal needs.
