Nationwide Federal Employee Representation

We have always represented federal employees in their matters nationwide and worldwide. If your federal employee matter is in California or in Pennsylvania, we are able to represent you on federal employee issues. It is fairly common for us to represent federal employees in Europe, Asia and in other areas of the world. The world is also shrinking with many cases being heard virtually by Microsoft Teams and Zoom services. When going through federal employment issues it is important to have a knowledgeable federal employee lawyer.

Representing Federal Employees in All Forums

Our lawyers represent federal employees at hearings before the Merit System Protection Board (MSPB), the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), the Office of Special Counsel (OSC), the Defense Office of Hearings and Appeals (DOHA) and various other federal agencies. If you are involved in a legal employment matter with a federal agency, we are here to help. The civil service laws and regulations which govern federal employment are very different from those that govern employment disputes for private-sector or state employees. If you are a federal employee with legal issues regarding your employment, it is important to retain an attorney experienced in federal employment law. Our law firm has practiced this specialized area of law for over 25 years.

Protecting Federal Employee Rights

Our goal is to protect your federal employee rights in our practice. Other firms often focus on serving as many people as possible in federal employee cases, often using non-attorneys to facilitate the process. When federal employees consult with us, they meet with an experienced federal employee attorney who is able to go over their individual cases and suggest solutions. We have always tried to practice empathy in representing with clients. In other words, we like to treat others how we would like to be treated ourselves. Federal employees often devote themselves to their careers to help the public. It is a very noble profession. We like to work and assist hardworking federal employees who have found themselves in a difficult situation and need legal help. Many federal empl0yees work for unique federal agencies, like the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), and we are knowledgeable in traditional and Title 38 employee cases.
