Legal Question in Employment Law in Maryland

I was discharged from a job with absolutely no reason given. I filed for unemployment and the employer appealed.

First, the employer has several locations each with its own tax code. Because I started work at one location and was transferred to another- DLLR have treated this has two seperate cases. (When I was hired I knew I'd be going to another location after a period of time). So the employer had to send in two appeals and there were two seperate appeal meetings. One meeting was already held. I finally got to know why I was discharged. I did not quit nor engage in any misconduct of any sort; gross, felonious, larceny or otherwise. I was an astute employee who did my best to perform beyond par. So the first meeting was discussing the discharge at the second location since the first location was a transfer. The upcoming second meeting will be to discuss the very same thing! Nothing has changed. When brought to the attention of the examiner he simply said this was the case before him and that's what we were going to discuss. (He was very practical not rude or curt in any way). Because of this, is there a way to explain this to someone and have the second meeting cancelled?

Second, if there is not a way to have the second appeal hearing cancelled due to redundancy is it possible to have a representative who is not a lawyer there with me? Can he be a partial representative?

Thank you.
