Our Attorney Practice

We are a boutique law firm located in downtown Washington, DC.  Our law firm is a national leader in federal and public sector employment law and federal practice.  Forty years ago, we were founded on representing the Senior Executives Service, managers and supervisors, and federal law enforcement officers.  For more than 20 years, we have been nationally known for providing legal services to dozens of government agencies in personnel matters involving high level employees and other sensitive positions within agencies.  We offer tailored services, a hands-on approach, and personalized attention to our clients.  We focus on creating winning strategies for our clients.  Our attorneys are adept in administrative forums and federal court settings.

Insight

Our attorneys litigate cases before federal district and appellate courts.  For employees and public agencies alike, we regularly litigate in administrative forums such as the U.S. Merit Systems Protection Board, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and the Foreign Service Grievance Board.  We understand the people in government and how public agencies work.  We also know employment law, especially public sector employment law.  Representing senior executives, managers and supervisors, federal law enforcement, as well as public and private employers, we have unique knowledge and experience that our attorneys bring to each client matter.  

Philosophy

Our philosophy is simple. We are client focused, and results driven. We work with our clients at the onset to identify their objectives.  We identify risks and rewards.  To obtain their goals, we strive to provide every client with a full-scale legal strategy, not just representation.  Our model is one of collaboration.  We know that an engaged client is key to their success, and we work at every stage to ensure our clients are engaged.
