If my employer filed appeal to a workers comp determination and now have a telephone hearing, should I contact a lawyer?
I voluntarily quit due to boss constantly say she didn’t like me and would write me up for things that happened when I wasn’t even working at the time it happened. I quit because the risk of her constantly writing me up could cause me to lose my CNA license?

Given the fact that there is an adminsitrative hearing via telephone concerning your worker's compensation claim against your former employer that you should consult with an attorney in this field of the law to represent your interests.
It makes sense that since the employer filed an appeal and not you that since you have come so far with your claim that you should not jeapordize it now by representing yourself and not having an attorney with you.
