For more than 30 years, Melville Johnson's Federal Employee Attorneys have successfully handled a variety of cases across the nation. Our Federal Employee Attorneys Specialize In Matters Of Law That Include (But Are Not Limited To): Our EEO Attorneys specialize in representing federal employees through all stages and aspects of the federal sector Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) Complaint process. The statutes enforced by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) make it illegal to discriminate against employees or applicants for employment on the basis of a wide and well-established variety of protected classes. Remember, as a federal employee, you have the right to a workplace free from discrimination. If you suspect you have been the victim of discriminatory hiring or employment practices, it is important to act quickly—in fact, normally you must contact an EEO counselor at your agency within 45 calendar days of the discriminatory action. We are ready to assist you and encourage you to contact us immediately if you feel you have been discriminated against and seek to file an EEO claim. Most federal employees have the ability to appeal their employment law matters to the Merit System Protection Board (MSPB). When dealing with a case for the MSPB, it is essential that you have experienced MSPB attorneys providing advice and counsel to navigate the often-confusing process. Our committed MSBP attorneys can help federal employees understand their rights and options when it comes to appealing an employment issue. Applying for disability benefits can be overwhelming.
