FOR FEDERAL EMPLOYEES

In federal employment matters such as proposed suspensions and removals, demotions or downgrades, grievances, arbitration, administrative investigations, hostile work environments, or discrimination matters, it is a common misconception that a federal employee must retain the services of an attorney to appeal the action or protect their rights and only an attorney can represent you.  

The fact is, you do not need an attorney and that an experienced representative from Capaldo Colangelo Poulos, LLC can represent you.  This includes responding to adverse action proposals, representing you before the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB), Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), Office of Personnel Management (OPM), Security Clearance Appeals Boards, FERS Disability Retirement Applications and Appeals, and assisting in the submission of retaliation and whistleblower complaints to the Office of Special Counsel (OSC).
