The hearing is a legal proceeding and you should treat it as such. If you would not be comfortable representing yourself in court with no attorney, then you will not be comfortable in this hearing with out an attorney. I strongly recommend that you retain an attorney.
You can be entitled to unemployment benefits if you are terminated. However, some things like insubordination may be considered misconduct which would deny you benefits. If you need your benefits, you should fight for them. Retaining an experienced attorney is your best bet.
