First, I am not an Alabama lawyer. That being said, of course you can appeal--but what are the issues on appeal. Did you advance a defense of justifiable assault or a similar defense. Was this a jury trial or a bench trial. And was a final judgment issued as yet?

An Alabama attorney could best advise, but you await a response for four weeks. From your description, this looks like a matter related to termination and eligibility for unemployment benefits.

First I am not an Alabama lawyer. That being said, I don't think you should initiate parallel litigation by filing an adverse possession lawsuit, but I think that you should file a motion with the lower court to "stay the judgment." That is, just filing an appeal does not ordinarily... Read more »

The third party representing your employer is not necessarily an attorney, as non-lawyers are usually... Read more »
