Fired. Denied Unemployment Due To "job Abandonment."

Update: I think I have an idea on how to move forward. Thank you to everyone that was helpful, you rock! For those that were unhelpful, you have the ability to scroll past a post, it's fairly simple.

Hello,

I was at a job and the boss kept writing me through messages after hours one day. I mentioned we could speak about the issues in person at work. They continued writing me through messages to which I replied saying we could speak about those issues at work.

Next day at work, the boss arrives and about an hour into my shift they say "this isn't working between us" and so Im like "okay" and leave. As soon as I step out of the building they have already removed me from all work related groups.

I filled out unemployment paperwork and they denied me because they claimed "job abandonment." They, the boss, said that I simply stopped showing up to work one day. I have video proof of them stating that I was no longer an employer for them.

Can I sue them for lying about this? If yes, what type of lawyer am I looking for?

Thank you.
