Federal Employee EEO (Discrimination, Harassment & Retaliation)
Federal applicants and employees are protected by laws that prohibit discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy, sexual orientation, and gender identity), national origin, age, disability, genetic information, and reprisal. We guide you through the federal EEO process—from initial counseling and ADR to investigation, hearings before an EEOC Administrative Judge, and appeals.
Important: some EEO steps have short deadlines (for example, contacting an EEO Counselor is often required within 45 calendar days of the event).
Common issues: hostile work environment, non-selection/promotion, termination, unequal pay/discipline, retaliation.
Reasonable Accommodations (Disability, Religion & Pregnancy)
If a medical condition, disability, sincerely held religious belief, or pregnancy/post-partum need affects your work, agencies must consider reasonable accommodation unless it would cause undue hardship. We help you request accommodations, document the interactive process, and challenge denials. We also advise on related options such as reassignment and, when appropriate, disability retirement pathways.
Typical accommodations: telework, schedule changes, ergonomic equipment, quiet/low-stimulus workspace, lactation/pumping access, temporary duty modifications.
MSPB Appeals (Adverse Actions & Whistleblower)
Merit Systems Protection Board cases are fast-moving and technical. We represent employees in appeals of removals, demotions, and suspensions over 14 days, as well as performance-based actions and certain whistleblower/IRA matters. We focus on the record—charges, penalties, nexus, harmful error, and affirmative defenses—so your case is presented clearly.
Note: MSPB filing windows are short (often 30 days); consult promptly.
FAA Medical Certification
Medical questions can threaten flying privileges. We advise on applications, documentation strategy, and Special Issuance pathways, and coordinate with your AME when appropriate. Early planning often reduces delays and surprises.
Topics: reporting strategy, prior conditions and medications, substance-related histories, sleep apnea/CPAP, SSRIs, HIMS-related questions, deferrals.
FAA Enforcement & Investigations (Pilots/Mechanics/Operators)
Merit Systems Protection Board cases are fast-moving and technical. We represent employees in appeals of removals, demotions, and suspensions over 14 days, as well as performance-based actions and certain whistleblower/IRA matters. We focus on the record—charges, penalties, nexus, harmful error, and affirmative defenses—so your case is presented clearly.
Buying or selling an aircraft is both legal and technical. We prepare and review purchase agreements, coordinate pre-buys and escrow, and handle registration/ownership structures so the paperwork matches the airplane.
Matters we handle: LOIs, 709 rechecks, emergency/non-emergency certificate actions, reporting issues, ramp/incident investigations, letters of intent, contract terms, title/lien searches, escrow/closing, registration and ownership changes.
Military Servicemembers (Administrative Actions)
For servicemembers and with military-related matters, we assist with administrative investigations and corrective actions, and advise on employment protections such as USERRA.
Examples: command investigations, responses to proposed adverse action, security-clearance-adjacent issues, USERRA discrimination/retaliation questions.
Not Sure Where Your Issue Fits?
Many matters touch more than one process (EEO, MSPB, FAA, medical, or military). We’ll help you map the right path forward based on your facts and deadlines.
