- Inspector General Investigations for fraud or other alleged wrongdoing
Federal Whistleblower Retaliation (OSC) – We represent whistleblowers in Office of Special Counsel claims for reprisal such as demotion, harassment or wrongful termination after exposing fraud, securities violations or other wrongdoing. We also counsel whistleblowers in qui tam actions.
Disability And Accommodations – We represent federal employees with physical or mental disabilities in actions for discriminatory treatment or failure to make reasonable accommodations.
Federal Security Clearance – Obtaining and maintaining a security clearance is critical to many federal agency and defense contractor jobs. We can intervene if your security clearance is denied, downgraded or revoked, and represent you in any related disciplinary proceedings.

Veterans In Federal Government Jobs – We uphold the rights of U.S. military veterans in employment, including violations of the Veterans Employment Opportunities Act or other discrimination based on military service.
Labor Law And Labor Relations – We advocate for federal employee unions and individuals in collective bargaining, labor grievances, union elections, negotiability appeals and related labor matters. We also defend unions and union members against unfair labor practices in hearings and mediations before the applicable bodies.
