If you’ve been subject to discipline in the federal workplace, you may be entitled to appeal to the Merit Systems Protection Board. It’s a very quick process from appeal to trial, typically less than 120 days, which can be intimidating to many attorneys who are used to having much longer to prepare a case. Early involvement by an attorney can be key to success. If you reach out when you receive a letter proposing discipline, I can help you craft a response that puts you in the best position to avoid discipline in the first place, and set you up for a successful appeal if the worst should happen. At the very least, I can buy you time between the proposal and any decision, which allows you to take steps to prepare yourself and your family for the impact of the Agency’s decision.
