Advocating for Federal Employees in EEOC Hearings
At Passman & Kaplan, P.C., Attorneys at Law, we are committed to putting an end to all forms of discrimination, including sexual discrimination and harassment. We are known for representing federal employees faced with retaliation for blowing the whistle on illegal behavior in their workplace.
We also fight back against discrimination based on violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Rehabilitation Act, denial of leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) or retaliation for taking FMLA leave.
Our legal team offers strong advocacy and legal counsel to federal employees with discrimination claims before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). We have experience seeking to settle EEOC claims through mediation. Our law firm's employment law attorneys also handle EEOC hearings before administrative judges or a federal jury or judge.
Representing Employees in MSPB and Other Federal Agency Hearings
We are known for representing federal employees in Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB) cases involving adverse action appeals, whistleblower claims and retirement issues. Our law firm also has a national reputation advocating for clients in federal employment-related proceedings before the:

Offering Strong Advocacy and Legal Counsel to Unions and Union Members

Representing Private Sector Employees
We advocate for private sector employees at every organizational level. Whether you have been discriminated against in hiring, promotions or discipline, sexually harassed, denied a reasonable accommodation for a disability or left your job without receiving all accrued pay and benefits to which you are entitled, we can help you navigate through the maze of the bureaucratic employment law procedures.
Handling Worldwide Security Clearances
