A Government Career Is a Federal Employee’s Single Greatest Asset
Shehan Legal serves federal employees and supervisors worldwide by protecting their unique workplace rights and preserving their greatest asset — their government career.
Disciplinary Actions
You received a Notice of Proposed Discipline. It misstates what happened, overstates the severity of it, or both. In a system of progressive discipline, you need to fight back and protect your federal career. Shehan Legal can handle your written and oral replies.
EEO Claims
You’re facing discrimination, harassment, or retaliation at work. Perhaps you’ve been denied a reasonable accommodation. When you need to make an EEO claim, Shehan Legal can initiate contact with an EEO counselor or file a formal EEO complaint on your behalf.
MSPB Appeals
You've been removed from federal service, demoted, or suspended for greater than 14 days. Perhaps you received an adverse decision from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) relating to your retirement benefits or your suitability for federal service. You have received notice of your right to appeal to the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB). Shehan Legal can handle your MSPB appeal.
EEOC Hearings
You were discriminated or retaliated against or harassed. You received a Report of Investigation (ROI) and a Notice of Right to Request a Hearing before an Administrative Judge of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). Shehan Legal can prepare your hearing request and take your case forward.
FERS Disability Retirement
You’ve been a faithful civil servant for years. You’ve become disabled and you’re covered by the Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS). You can no longer perform the duties of your position even with a reasonable accommodation, and your agency has no vacant position (at your same grade or pay within your commuting area) for which you are qualified. Perhaps you’ve already been separated from employment for inability to perform your duties for medical reasons. Shehan Legal can prepare your FERS Disability Retirement application for submission to the Office of Personnel Management (OPM).
Trouble at Work
There's trouble at work and you can’t afford to let it continue. For example, you’ve been denied medical leave or a reasonable accommodation. Perhaps you’ve been placed on a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP). Whatever form trouble takes, Shehan Legal can let you know your options, guide you through the process, and if needed demand that your employing agency make things right.
