Is this legal advice or representation?

No. This is document preparation: we organize your documents, dates, and facts into an indexed binder. We do not tell you which arguments to make, we do not appear at the hearing, and we are not lawyers. Free legal aid and your state's claimant advocate office can advise on strategy — the binder lists how to reach them.

I have not filed my appeal yet. Is this for me?

Not yet. File the appeal first — before your state's deadline, which is printed on the determination letter. AppealKit.org files appeals for $10, your state's online portal is free, and legal aid is free. Come back once your hearing is scheduled: the hearing is where the case is won or lost.

Do you guarantee I win my hearing?

No. We guarantee a complete, organized binder delivered in 1 business day. The referee's decision is the referee's. An organized file helps you tell your story; it does not change the facts or the law.

What if my hearing is only a day or two away?

If your hearing is less than 3 days out, we hold the order and tell you immediately rather than risk delivering something you cannot use in time — you can take a refund or accept a rush attempt with no SLA. We extract the hearing date from your notice and check it before any work starts.

What does everyone else charge?

Legal aid and state claimant advocates are free. AppealKit files the appeal itself for $10. Email document reviews run $35–$55. Attorneys charge roughly $300–$1,200 to draft filings and $800–$3,000 to represent you at a hearing. The binder is $79 and you present your own case.

The state already scheduled your hearing. Walk in organized.

Unemployment appeal hearing coming up? Evidence binder in 1 business day.

You appealed your denial and the referee hearing is on the calendar. Most claimants walk in with a folder of loose screenshots; the employer side walks in organized. We turn your documents into an indexed exhibit binder — labeled exhibits, a dated timeline of events, a witness list, copies ready to serve on the tribunal and the employer, and a hearing-day checklist. You present your own case. This is document preparation, not legal advice, and we are not lawyers.

Get the hearing binder — $79 See exactly what you get

Not legal advice. Not representation. Free help exists: your state claimant advocate and legal aid — the binder tells you how to reach both.

What’s in the $79 binder

Indexed, labeled exhibits — every document numbered, titled, and referenced from the index
Timeline of events built from your documents: hire date, warnings, separation, filing dates, determination
Witness list with what each person directly saw or heard (firsthand vs secondhand marked — referees discount hearsay)
Service-ready copy sets — one for the referee, one for the employer, one for you, with your state’s service instructions
Hearing-day checklist: what to bring, how phone/video hearings work in your state, the questions referees commonly ask, and free-help contacts (state claimant advocate, legal aid)

What is not included

No legal advice — we do not tell you which arguments to lead with
No representation — we do not attend or speak at the hearing
No testimony coaching or scripting of answers
No filing of the appeal itself (AppealKit does that for $10; your state portal is free)
No overpayment negotiation

If your situation needs strategy — a misconduct fight, an overpayment, an employer with a lawyer — the binder points you to free legal aid, and if we spot it at intake we will say so and offer a refund before taking your $79.

What this costs vs who already helps

Be clear-eyed: free help is real and good. Pay for this only if you want the organizing done overnight instead of doing it yourself.

Who	Price	What you actually get
Legal aid · state claimant advocate	$0	Real advice and sometimes representation — capacity varies by state
AppealKit.org	$10	Files the appeal itself — the step before this one
Email document review (e.g. Verity Guides)	$35–$55	Someone reads your file and emails comments
Corpus AI hearing binder	$79	Indexed exhibits, timeline, witness list, service copies, checklist — in 1 business day
Attorney (filing / hearing representation)	$300–$1,200 / $800–$3,000	A lawyer argues for you — worth it if the employer brings one

SLA is binder delivery, not the hearing outcome. Orders with hearings under 3 days away are held and refunded on request rather than rushed silently.

How it works

Pay $79. Stripe checkout. On the success page, send your hearing notice, the determination letter, and your documents (texts, schedules, warnings, pay records — whatever you have).
We check the date first. The hearing date is extracted from your notice. Less than 3 days out → the order holds and you hear from us before anything else happens.
We organize, a person releases. Every timeline entry ties to a document you provided — we assemble facts, we do not invent or argue them. Anything that smells like legal strategy gets flagged to you with free-help contacts instead of advice.
You serve and show up. Copy sets and your state’s service instructions are in the binder. You walk in with the same organization the employer’s side has.

FAQ

Is this legal advice?

No. We organize documents and facts. Which arguments to lead with is legal strategy, and that line is real — free legal aid and your state claimant advocate exist for exactly that, and the binder lists them.

I haven’t filed the appeal yet — deadline is this week.

File first, today. The deadline on your determination letter (10–30 days depending on state) forfeits your case if missed. Your state portal is free and AppealKit files it for $10. The binder is for the hearing that comes after.

Do you guarantee I win?

No. Organized evidence helps you tell your story clearly; the referee decides on the facts and the law.

Why does the hearsay marking matter?

Referees give less weight to secondhand accounts. The witness list marks who saw or heard things directly so you know which witnesses actually help — that is a fact about how hearings work, not advice about your case.

Is Corpus Localization a different company?

No. Corpus AI is the public brand. Corpus Localization (certified translations) is a line under Corpus AI — same LLC. This product is self-help document preparation, not a translation and not legal advice.
