I want to resign due to health reasons
I have been a dedicated worker to a company for many years. I received excellent reviews and outstanding performance. Last summer we were told that our department was going to either dissolve or merge. The company atmosphere got so hostile that I began to experience stress induced asthma attacks. I want to resign due to my health problems with the intention of finding another job with a different company. I am looking for an attorney who can assist me in writing a letter of resignation and support me in getting a some severence and or unemployment benefits. I want an attorney who is experienced in unemployment law and representing the victims of a corporate restructure in which they dealt with emotional distress. I would prefer a lawyer from the Denver area.

Normally, if an employee voluntarily resigns, she will not be eligible to receive unemployment insurance benefits or severance pay. However, you may have a basis for negotiating the terms of your termination (including severance and unemployment benefits) before you quit. In order to preserve your rights, I encourage you to talk to an attorney before you let anyone at your company know that you intend to resign.
I would be happy to set up a consultation with you. Please feel free to contact me directly 303-860-8400 x 112.
Thanks.
