I’m an attorney focused on federal sector employment law and military service employment protections. I represent federal employees and applicants in EEO matters (discrimination, retaliation, harassment), Rehabilitation Act reasonable accommodation, MSPB adverse action/performance appeals, OSC whistleblower cases, and USERRA (Guard/Reserve) rights. Reporters use me for clear, on-record explanations that turn dense rules into plain English, with practical examples and cites you can verify. I’m available for quick quotes, deeper background, or walking through timelines and decision trees. I also have 6+ years experience litigating employment defense on behalf of the U.S. Government through three presidential administrations. I also track government-wide workforce policy from OPM and OMB—telework/RTO directives, performance management (PIPs), suitability/fitness, locality pay/duty station questions, RIF/realignments, and hiring authorities—so I can connect individual cases to system level changes. On the aviation side, I help pilots and operators navigate FAA and NTSB issues, aircraft purchase/sale pitfalls, and certificate or enforcement matters. Selected story angles I can speak to: - Federal EEO 101 (and what most sources miss): counseling vs. complaint, acceptance/dismissal, investigations, and remedies—plus how deadlines quietly decide outcomes. - Reasonable accommodation in mission critical roles: light duty, telework, medical documentation, “undue hardship,” and how to avoid retaliatory optics. - MSPB after the backlog era: appeal rights, probationary myths, settlement dynamics, and fee-shifting realities. - Whistleblower cases & PPPs: what counts as protected disclosure, typical retaliation patterns, and OSC vs. agency IG pathways. - USERRA: reemployment after orders, seniority/benefits accrual, scheduling drill/AT, and common agency missteps. - Telework/RTO as a legal and policy question: duty station, locality pay, reasonable accommodation intersections, and how agencies document “business need.” - Managing out via PIPs: when a PIP is pretext, how performance elements are written, and the evidence agencies actually need. - Suitability/fitness and (separately) security clearance issues: the boundary with EEO rights and what employees should document from day one. - Remedies and real timelines: back pay, comp damages caps, attorney fees, and why “day in court” usually means ADR or settlement.
