Re: Wrongful termination
The excuse your prior employer gave for firing you may be false because the true reason he fired you is an illegal basis for termination. If that is your suspicion, you should speak to an attorney.
An attorney may wish to know if the employer informed you of your termination in writing.

Re: Wrongful termination
The first step is to his file an appeal for the denial of unemployment benefits. They will have a hearing in which the employer must come down to present evidence that what they said about you strew. After you've heard the evidence, you can then consult with an attorney to determine whether or not you have a case.
