Immediately Put Me At Ease
“Despite the complexity of my situation, Melville Johnson took on my claim and immediately put me at ease with a clear demonstration of their expertise with EEO law.

“Kudos to your law firm. I am only one of two cases against my agency that won a favorable decision in the entire year thanks to your help.”

Professionalism and Kindness
“As a person with a disability working for the federal government, I knew I needed to get the right legal professional assistance for my case. And while the process could have been tedious and overwhelming for a layperson without much legal knowledge, Melville Johnson alleviated all the potential stress involved by taking the guesswork out of my hands. With their help, I received disability approval in record time! I want to thank you for the superior work your firm performed. From my very first contact, your Client Intake Manager took the time to answer all of my initial questions and provide detailed information at every turn. And your attorneys showed nothing but professionalism and kindness throughout the process.”
– Sandra B.
Impressed With the Work, Knowledge, and Advice
“I was dealing with a difficult situation with a supervisor who denied me any opportunity to do my job (staff or equipment, research funding, research papers for publishing) and be promoted. Other scientists praised my research and acknowledged it in their own studies but, for the supervisor, it was never good. Projects that I had designed were removed from my direction and passed on to an unqualified employee, who then obtained all the necessary staff, money, and equipment to carry the duties. Getting the situation where he wanted it to be, the supervisor tried to fire me. Thanks to Melville Johnson, P.C. and Mr. Durishan, I was able to maintain my job, but at a new facility, doing a job that I like and now working with people who appreciate what I bring to the table. Having been impressed with the work, knowledge, and advice obtained from this team of lawyers, I highly recommend Melville Johnson, P.C. They were very reasonable with the way they handle the financial aspect of the contract also, which is definitely a plus. Their ever presence and attachment to the case was an assurance for me that a good conclusion was attainable. They got me out of a very bad situation.”

They Know Disability Retirement!
“I hired Melville Johnson, PC because my human resources department completely botched my disability retirement application. They told me that I needed to have my Social Security Disability Insurance approved before they could file my application for disability retirement. That process took years, and when we submitted my disability retirement application the Office of Personnel Management said I was too late. I worked with Mr. Durishan and the team at Melville Johnson, PC and OPM agreed to accept my application. OPM then denied it because they said I did not have a disability. Thankfully the team over at Melville Johnson, PC were able to work with my health care providers, and I am now able to afford living closer to my kids with my disability retirement annuity payments.”

Everything Went Smoothly
“I hired Melville Johnson, PC because I had injured my back and I was no longer able to perform my duties as a Postal Inspector. I knew there was a lot of paperwork that needed to get done in order to file my application for disability retirement, and I wanted to be sure that it was done right the first time. Melville Johnson, PC took the time to make sure I understood the process, and worked with the representatives at Human Resources Shared Service Center to make sure that OPM got the information they needed. OPM approved my application, and I am very grateful that I had Melville Johnson, PC to make sure everything went smoothly.”

Worked For Me
“Melville Johnson has the expertise and experience to prevail when working through the federal bureaucracy. I am a surviving spouse of a federal employee and handled my own case up to the point of appeal. Then I knew I was in over my head. Thanks to Melville Johnson, I now have survivor benefits. I’m grateful for their excellent representation and results.”

They advised me well, worked with me to develop–and keep me appraised of–strategy, and aggressively pursued resolution that would be beneficial for me. I was very satisfied with every aspect of their handling of my case.”

Impressive!
“I was impressed with the work and the advices obtained from this team of lawyers. They are very knowledgeable (at least as related with my situation) and, based on that, return the work (letters, communications, reviews, advices, etc.) in a very speedy manner. Impressive! Their ever presence and attachment to the case was an assurance for me that a good conclusion was attainable. Very reasonable with the way they handle the financial aspect of the contract also, which is definitely a plus.”

Best Law Firm
“I hired the Melville Johnson P.C. law firm in January 2015 to represent my Merit Systems Protection Board case against Department of the Army. Mr. George Johnson assigned his Senior Associate Mr. Yancey to work on my case. I worked closely with the firm for about a 6 month period. I was awarded a nice settlement in my favor. Billing was transparent, communication was crystal clear, and I am 100% satisfied. Melville Johnson P.C. has the best team of experts for handling litigation and lawsuits in their areas of expertise. I definitely recommend this law firm. They are the best!”
