It depends on state labor laws. I got fired unjustly once and filed for unemployment. The company denied it, claiming misconduct. So, rather than just accepting it, I appealed and had a phone hearing w/ corporate, their lawyer and the unemployment judge.
It was a little intimidating at first, but i knew I was in the right, so I made my case for why it was for BS reasons, countered the arguements they made, etc....and actually won.
They appealed the decision, so it went to a state panel, that also ruled in my favor. So, you can beat them if you can show you didn't do what they said you did, or present it in a way to show it wasn't really misconduct.
At the time of the hearing (it took a while to get to that point), I already had a new job and was really only out of a job for a few weeks. By that time, it was more a matter of principle than money.
It was a good feeling to know that I was vindicated and that I kinda won a David vs. Goliath deal. Good luck w/ the unemployment try.

If you're a father of two kids, and have gone this long being unemployed, I'm not really afraid you'd try and punch me. I'm 30 years old have no kids, and I've never been unemployed long enough to need to collect unemployment, and if I had kids, I'd damn sure not be sitting around waiting for a job to show up. I have lots of friends who got laid off from their preferred job field, but they went out and got other jobs immediately, becuase they have kids to support. Do they like the jobs they have? No, but they work at them till they can get a job in their field again.
