Mr. Yancey chose to practice in the area of federal employment law because he maintains a strong desire to defend people who are in need. Many federal employees are not aware of their rights and they do not know how to appropriately assert them, and defending those rights for his clients is a passion which he takes very seriously. When working with Mr. Yancey, you can count on competence, quality, and passionate advocacy at every step of your representation.
