Another Case Victory for the Attorneys of the Law Firm of John P. Mahoney, Esq., Attorneys at Law, PLLC:

Attorney Miller Prevails with Reinstatement of EEOC Claims Against the Federal Bureau of Investigation

Federal employment attorney Letha Miller.

Firm Partner, Letha Miller, was successful in persuading the EEOC’s Office of Federal Operations (OFO) to reinstate her client’s claims against the FBI in a formal EEO complaint that the Agency attempted to dismiss for failure to state a claim. In Stanton S. v. FBI, OFO held that the Agency too narrowly constricted the definition of Complainant’s claim, which Attorney Miller successfully argued was actually one of an ongoing pattern of disability discrimination, age discrimination and reprisal for EEO activity. The formal complaint was reinstated and remanded to the Agency for appropriate processing. OFO Appeal No. 2020001838.

Attorney Mierau Persuades the DOD’s Clearance Appeals Board to Overturn the Decision of the Department of Defense Consolidated Adjudications Facility and Reinstate Client’s Security Clearance

Federal employment attorney Michael Mierau.

Firm Partner Michael Mierau convinced the DOD Clearance Appeals Board (CAB) to return our client’s security clearance after it had been revoked by the Department of Defense Consolidated Adjudications Facility (DOD CAF).

The CAB overturned the decision of DOD CAF and reinstated the client’s security clearance.

Attorney Lolotai Reduced a Removal to a Reprimand

Federal employment attorney Melissa Lolotai.

Firm Partner, Melissa Lolotai, recently convinced the Department of Veterans Affairs to reduce our client MM’s proposed removal to a reprimand. Ms. Lolotai convinced the Agency our client’s potential for rehabilitation was great, and that even with the lowered burden of proof afforded to the Agency due to the VA Accountability Act, the Agency’s removal would be overturned by the MSPB. Our client will soon be taken off a lengthy and indefinite detail and returned to his position of record.
