Lisa J. Sowers, P.C.

As a former unemployment hearing officer, I presided over approximately 3,000 unemployment appeal hearings before I started my own law practice. Since opening my office, I have successfully represented claimants at all levels of appeal - from the initial application, up through and including appeals out to the Superior Courts of Georgia (this process is more commonly referred to as "judicial review").

As a result of my "inside experience," I have a unique insight into how the Ga. Dept. of Labor works, and more importantly, how a hearing officer will likely view a client's separation from employment. This gives me the ability to skillfully and effectively counsel a client, not only as to the potential outcome of their case, but also as to how to best position themselves to win their appeal, regardless of what stage of the process they are in.

My primary office is in Johns Creek, Georgia. However, I can and do meet with clients at various satellite offices in the Metro Atlanta area. For potential clients who need representation within the State of Georgia, but who live a long distance away from metro Atlanta (or perhaps out-of-state), I offer telephone consultations by appointment.

While "drop-in" office appointments fall during regular business hours, I am known to do telephone consultations at all hours, including evenings, weekends, and in some cases, during the holidays.

I am a solo practitioner, so 99% of the time you contact my office, you reach me, and deal with me throughout the duration of your case. On the rare occasion when you reach my voice mail, I am highly responsive, and endeavor to return all phone calls and emails within a 24 hour time period.
