"John Mahoney was a bright light in the dark tunnel of seeking answers from a Federal Government agency that was purposely deceptive." John Mahoney was a bright light in the dark tunnel of seeking answers from a Federal Government agency that was purposely deceptive. Prior to John's advice and investigation of the facts involved, no other attorneys could comprehend or had knowledge of federal law to help me with the questions and issues in my case. As a Federal GS 12, my due process right was never allowed for access to me and John Mahoney found this fact and the path in the Federal Government to address it immediately after taking my case and I have had victory with John's representation.

"He was very attentive to all the details of the process!" Attorney John Mahoney represented me in an EEOC case against a charge levied against me with a proposed dismissal from a federal government position, which I held for over two decades. Mine was a protracted process, lasting several years. Mr. Mahoney was always available to assist me in preparations for and during many hearings and depositions. He offered professional advice and guidance, directing me every step of the way towards finally winning the case. He was very attentive to all the details of the process, i.e., the deadlines for submitting various documents, proofreading my written statements and rehearsing my oral testimonies. I always felt very comfortable asking him questions in laymen terms and found him very responsive. When he left his previously held position at another prestigious DC law firm and started his current law firm, I transferred my case to him because I knew that he would continue to represent me facilitating a successful conclusion to my case. My family and I found him most personable, polite and very professional. I do recommend him highly, without any reservations. - Client In EEOC Case No. 531-2011-00095X

"You are a true advocate for all the victims of such practices and you stand as the "best between two equals"" I carefully listened to your recent Federal News Radio interview.

"Without John on my side, I believe the result could have been much different." When my agency placed me on indefinite administrative leave after 29 years of service, my first reaction, after the initial shock, was to find a lawyer who knew federal employee law. Later, when they proposed to fire me, John Mahoney’s knowledge and experience with federal agencies was invaluable in successfully resolving my case. I was able to get a very favorable settlement and avoid a protracted, expensive legal battle. With John’s calm guidance, I provided a strong response, including an IG complaint for whistleblower retaliation. After two years on administrative leave, I returned to work with a clean personnel record, fully successful evaluations, and my legal bills paid by the agency. I could not have asked for a better settlement. Without John on my side, I believe the result could have been much different. - Federal Employee
"Exceptional Litigator and Professional" I fully recommend Lisa Windsor for the exceptionally hard work she puts into a case. Lisa was relentless in pursuing every possible legal and administrative measure from Medical Boards to the BCMR. Her experience as a civilian attorney and former JAG makes her an ideal fit for those looking to correct a Federal error to their records. She worked hard to build a case, and in the process restored my permanent retirement as well as dignity and respect as a person, professional, and Veteran. Lisa exceeded all of my expectations and offered not only legal representation that resulted in a highly favorable outcome, but the support and help I needed personally and professionally. - A.M.

"A “Super Star and Winner” all in one package." Mr. Mahoney, as a victim, when dealing with Equal Employment Opportunity Issues, it can be an emotional rollercoaster. The lawyer that a victim selects is very important. I have hired numerous lawyers in my lifetime for various things. Experience has taught me that a lawyer who takes out the time to “truly listen to a client” is a lawyer who will always tell their client the truth, as well as a lawyer who is always strategizing on the behalf of the client in good faith. A lawyer who is honest and a strategizer is a “WINNER”. I have hired some winners in my lifetime, but a “Super Star and Winner” all in one package. I have never had a lawyer like that until I met RACHELLE YOUNG. I remember the trial day like it was yesterday. I was very nervous, and Mrs. Young assured me that everything would be ok. She said don’t worry I got this! When my trial was over, and before a verdict was rendered; I knew that other lawyers didn’t have anything on Rachelle Young! I knew with 100% certainty that Mrs. Young had won my case. She won my claim for racial discrimination. She won my claim for sexual discrimination. She won my claim for violation of the Equal Pay Act. She won me six figures! Am I ecstatic “yes indeed”!!! I would recommend Rachelle Young to any EEO victim who is looking to win, and anyone who is looking for a Lawyer who is a “Super Star in the courtroom, and a Winning advocate for EEO victims! - Sheila

"I am confident that they are looking out for my best interests" I had almost given up on my EEOC case until I reached out to Attorney Mahoney, and he promptly responded to my consult request at 8 p.m. He thanked me for my service to our country. He said his firm would be honored to represent me. I could not believe it. My discovery was ending in approximately 2 weeks, yet he was still willing to consult on my case. During our consultation, Attorney Mahoney was more than generous with his time. His consultation was well over an hour and a half with no mention of additional fees for going over my case. He was personable, empathetic and had a unique way of making me relax under such stressful circumstances. He presented my options and was forthcoming. He was willing to step into a case that was so poorly handled and unsure if it was even salvageable. I appreciated his honesty and knew this firm was my last hope. All I can say is if you need help with a federal agency case, please do not waste your time or money on any other attorney. You must call this firm. Attorney McEntire and Attorney Mahoney are well versed in federal employment law. Attorney McEntire has remained focused on meeting discovery deadlines and filing motions.

"Mr. Mierau stood up for me in a way I could not." As an employee of a Federal Government agency, for a number of years I experienced disparate treatment, discrimination and a hostile work environment. Although I worked my tail off and tried on my own to resolve issues, nothing went my way. I finally sought legal counsel and was very impressed with the initial consultation with Mr. Mahoney and Mr. Michael Mierau, Esq., Partner, who handled my case. His resume is impressive as is all the others in the firm. Mr. Mierau did an outstanding job for me from the advice he gave to his attentiveness in responding to my calls or emails. He was always great to work with and realistic of what to expect. His representation of the facts in the case and negotiation with the Agency on my behalf was very successful. Mr. Mierau stood up for me in a way I could not. I was very proud to have Mr. Mierau representing me. - Former Client

"Knew I had the right person representing me!" A federal agency tried to undo my selection for a position and delay the entry on duty date they had previously given me. This was my first federal job and I had no idea what to do. After several weeks of delays, I contacted Mr. Mahoney. I am so glad that I did! Mr. Mahoney guided me to take action that resulted in a resolution within a week. His experience and knowledge make him the man I always want in my corner if ever again I have to go up against a federal agency. - Richard G.

I'm confident I will get the best outcome now that this law firm is on my side. Thank you! - Maggie Q.

"Firm Partner Melissa Lolotai exemplifies the term 'Counsel' in the highest and noblest sense of the word." I've never had any trouble in my federal service until I transferred to an organization with mediocre leadership and arbitrary performance standards. I was rather shocked to receive a Notice of Proposed Removal via mail when I was hospitalized for a medical condition incurred during military service. I knew I needed an attorney with experience in federal employment law due to the complexity and differences between the private sector and government employment. I had searched for representation and tried to tell my side of the story to other law firms only to be met with indifference and told I needed to pay an $8000 retainer to have them even consider taking my case. I was very fortunate to find Mr. Mahoney's firm. I was given a free consultation from Mr. Mahoney himself (rather than an office manager) and he took the time to listen and consider the merits of my case. Like many federal employees, I'm not wealthy and was relieved to hear that the firm's initial retainer fee was around $3000, which was less than half of what other firms wanted and gave me the comfort to know I could at least be able to afford some representation. Mr. Mahoney's firm was able to prevent my Agency from illegally firing me, force the Agency to hold the supervisor accountable for their actions, and minimize their attempts to retaliate against me for exposing a supervisor's malfeasance. Firm Partner Melissa Lolotai exemplifies the term 'Counsel' in the highest and noblest sense of the word. Ms. Lolotai was able to expertly cut through my Agency's falsifications and gross inconsistencies and explain the legalities of every aspect and phase of my case. I was able to take comfort in the fact that I had a highly experienced and sharp attorney to speak on my behalf so I could focus on trying to get healthy and not worrying about being subject to an illegal Notice of Proposed Removal and later was able to shield me from almost all of my Agency's brutal attempts to retaliate against me, to include a Proposed 30 Day Suspension for exposing Agency malfeasance. Ms. Lolotai's arguments were so strong that Agency's Attorney was in the words of the Agency, "unresponsive for requests for information" for well over 3 months and the GS-15 Deciding Official opting to retire and send the decision higher rather than issuing a decision. Ms. Lolotai was extremely caring and compassionate and helped me keep my sanity even as the Agency attempted to gaslight me for several months and retaliate. Ms. Lolotai was able to also keep my Agency's EEO office honest when I filed my EEO complaint and helped me expose my senior leadership's retaliatory animus and deceptions. - George
"Patient and understanding is how I would describe Attorney John Patrick Mahoney" Patient and understanding is how I would describe Attorney John Patrick Mahoney. This occurred from the very beginning with our initial consultation and continued throughout our conversations regarding my legal matter. With my many questions and concerns over multiple days I at times felt I was being rather annoying, however, there was no question he left unanswered and all of my concerns were addressed. - Darryl T.
"I am very satisfied with all his help and highly recommend him to all who want or need legal help." John P.

"His guidance along with his arguments helped me to win my security clearance back." I did not initially have the funds to afford a lawyer when my security clearance was revoked. After a few weeks, I was able to scrape up enough money to hire Attorney Mahoney's services. The downside is, by the time I was able to get an attorney there was only 3 weeks left before my case had to be submitted. Attorney Mierau, who worked my case, gave me the guidance I needed to get the documentation that would assist my case. His guidance along with his arguments helped me to win my security clearance back. They say these things are made for the average person to understand, but they're not. They are very complicated and difficult to understand what is important and what is not important when it comes to the case. Thankfully, Attorney Mierau made it very clear what needed to be done. And because of that, I get to keep my job. - Former Client
"Dedicated and knowledgeable" I want to thank my Mahoney Firm lawyer, Melissa Lolotai, Esq., for saving my job . She was very good at allowing me to do some of the leg work which helped me financially. She was also good at focusing on my case while I was emotionally challenged. Her writing and legal skills at putting everything together left me in awe. Additionally, to leave me at a further disadvantage my employer purposely chose the two Christmas weeks to start the count down clock ticking. A time when most people are on vacation. But your firm took it on and met the deadline. I have always taken pride to be a good employee and hard work. This entire ordeal has forever changed my life. I am still detailed and not placed into a full time position so I am still living the repercussions of their false accusations. However, it was nice to finally breath knowing I had a pay check ahead of me. For the past year I have lived every day in fear. Not knowing what their claims would be and when I was going to encounter their wrath was unnerving on a daily basis. I was an emotional wreck for the past year and still struggle daily with this unwarranted experience. However, I have to remind myself that it could have turned out worse if it wasn’t for your firms help. I will gladly recommend your firm. - Former Client
"The firm knows how to walk you through everything and take the time to make sure everything is accurate" The best law firm for Federal employees. They are incredible and knowledgeable.

I'm eternally grateful to Ms. Young and Mr. Mahoney. - Sara H.
