Nationwide Federal Employee Lawyer

Standing Up for Federal Workers Since 1997

Federal employment disputes are governed by administrative rules, formal procedures, and strict deadlines. Pines Federal provides representation for government employees across the United States to respond to agency actions, complete required filings, and defend their positions to protect rights, income, and careers.

Federal disputes often move forward based on written notices and agency records. Pines Federal reviews what the agency is relying on, identifies issues, and prepares compliant filings. Our firm routinely works with federal employees assigned to various regions and understands how disputes unfold nationwide. That familiarity shapes how we advise clients, anticipate agency next steps, and respond in a way that protects pay, benefits, and career standing.

Federal employment law operates under a different system than private-sector employment. Disputes are governed by complex agency rules, administrative forums, and strict time limits. Our role is to guide you through that system, protect your position, and respond strategically at each stage of the process.

You have rights as a federal employee. Let us protect them. Federal employment law is not intuitive. Most employees encounter it for the first time only after a problem has already begun. Our role is to provide clear guidance, manage the process, and advocate consistently so our clients are not navigating unfamiliar rules alone. If you are a federal employee facing an agency action, accommodation issue, or employment-related dispute, Pines Federal is available to help you understand your position and next steps.
