Retirement and Disability Retirement
If you have been denied disability retirement benefits as a federal employee, or if you feel your federal retirement benefit has been calculated incorrectly, The Law Offices of Ronald P. Ackerman can help. If Mr. Ackerman is unable to resolve your retirement issue before the OPM, you may have appeal rights to the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB).
Sexual Harassment and Discrimination
Federal employees who are victims of sexual harassment or discrimination need a lawyer who is experienced in the federal court system. All sexual harassment and discrimination claims are considered first by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). However, appeals for federal employees are handled in federal court rather than state court.
Attorney Ronald P. Ackerman is familiar with the procedures for handling federal employee sexual harassment and discrimination claims.
Terminations, Suspensions, and Demotions
If you have received a proposal letter from your federal employer saying that they are considering suspending, demoting, or firing you, you have a serious problem - you need to take the problem seriously by hiring a lawyer to represent you. The best time to try to stop the action is early, while it is still a proposal.
Federal Employee Union Grievances
Federal employee attorney Ronald P. Ackerman is experienced in representing employees in union arbitration hearings on matters such as termination, suspension, and demotion.
Whistleblowing
If you are a federal employee who has reported fraud, abuse, waste or mismanagement on the part of your employer, you are considered a whistleblower. Unfortunately, many whistleblowers are subject to adverse employment actions, such as termination or demotion. Whistleblowers should not have to suffer retaliation in the workplace and are entitled to compensation if they have been retaliated against.
Merit Systems Protection Board Appeals
The Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB) is unique to federal employees. Any federal employee who has been suspended for 15 days or more has the right to appeal to the MSPB. Mr. Ackerman handles MSPB appeals on a regular basis, which makes him a knowledgeable and experienced advocate who can effectively handle your matter.
Security Clearances
For many federal employees, security clearances are required in order to do their jobs. Anyone who has lost their security clearance or whose security clearance is being questioned should have an attorney represent them. You are entitled to a hearing if your security clearance is in jeopardy.
