The firm frequently litigates on behalf of federal government employees in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, and in other courts. For instance, the firm won landmark decisions in a pair of cases challenging regulations issued by the Office of Personnel Management that limit federal employees’ entitlement to overtime pay while attending training.

The firm has also successfully represented federal government employees at the EEOC and MSPB. For instance, after a hearing before an EEOC administration judge in 2023, the firm obtained a finding of retaliation against a senior employee of the Department of Energy, along with an order that the employee be promoted and awarded backpay, emotional distress damages, and attorneys fees.

As a resource for federal employees with questions about their legal rights, the firm maintains the website www.federalworkerrights.com.
