Employee representation at a DGK hearing
A legal professional presents your position at the DGK hearing, substantiates your claims and answers the Commission’s questions.
A brief initial phone call is free, with no obligation to proceed.
The benefits of representation at the hearing
At the hearing, it is important to present the claims clearly and answer the Commission’s questions accurately.
Your position defended by a legal professional familiar with DGK proceedings
We substantiate the claims with employment law and case evidence. We provide legally grounded responses to the employer’s arguments.
You will know what to expect
If your attendance or explanations are needed at the hearing, we will discuss beforehand what to say and how to proceed.
We already know the case
If we prepared the application, we already know the circumstances, evidence and the position agreed with you. There is no need to explain everything again to another representative.
Clear next steps after the decision
We explain what the decision means for you and the deadlines for going to court. After the decision, we monitor the employer’s payments and explain what to do if the employer does not pay.
