Hello and thank you for reading.
I'm an employer and next week I have a hearing for an appeal for unemployment. The former employee claims he was fired and is perjuring himself on state documents, as he actually quit. There was a text chain proving this, and of course, the phone I had at the time took a bath and died with no backup for texts. I have researched extensively and have found differing opinions on whether those texts can be obtained, and for how long Verizon keeps this data. The messages were exchanged in November 2023, and Verizon didn't give me much info, just that they won't release them to me. I was hoping for any insight, thank you
