Stember Feinstein Doyle Payne & Cordes is the leading law firm in Western Pennsylvania that represents claimants in unemployment compensation hearings. These hearing take place in downtown Pittsburgh and in appeals to the UIC Board of Review, Commonwealth Court, and the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.

The firm has a proven track record of obtaining benefits for claimants whose former employers have alleged that they voluntarily quit and were discharged for willful misconduct. We also hand cases involving isuses such as whether a claimant is entitled to benefits due to self-employment income, whether the claimant is able and available for work, or whether he or she refused suitable work.

Attorney John Stember has represented several hundred individuals at hearings over his thirty-year career and has argued nearly 50 unemployment insurance cases before Pennsylvania's appellate courts, including 10 cases before the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. John is the author and editor of the Practitioner's Manual for Unemployment Compensation and frequently lectures for the Pennsylvania Bar Institute, the Allegheny Bar Association, and other organizations on unemployment issues.

John and Stephen Pincus of the firm are currently adjunct professors at the University of Pittsburgh School of Law, directing an unemployment insurance practicum for law students.

Because clients in need of assistance with their unemployment insurance claims are out of work, the firm charges a reasonable, flat fee for its services in these matters.
