Merit Systems Protection Board

Focused representation when a federal employment decision becomes an appeal.

The firm represents federal employees in appeals involving final OPM disability retirement denials, removals, suspensions, and other matters within MSPB jurisdiction.

What an MSPB appeal demands

MSPB proceedings involve jurisdictional requirements, short filing deadlines, formal discovery, motions, evidence, and hearings before an administrative judge. The exact path depends on the personnel action and legal claims involved.

OPM disability retirement appeals

When OPM issues a final denial, the applicant may seek review before the MSPB. The appeal should connect the medical record, position requirements, and legal elements in a clear evidentiary presentation.

Removal and suspension appeals

Eligible federal employees may appeal certain adverse actions, including qualifying removals and suspensions. Representation may include jurisdiction, affirmative defenses, discovery, settlement discussions, and hearing preparation.

Early case assessment

Because MSPB rights and deadlines vary, early review is essential. The firm evaluates the decision, procedural history, available claims, evidence, and the employee's goals.

Received a final decision?

Keep the complete decision, envelope or delivery notice, agency correspondence, and relevant employment and medical records. The filing date may depend on when and how the decision was received.
