Description

You may wish to consider appealing the decision of the Merit Systems Protection Board to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington. You do not have to be a lawyer to take your case to the Federal Circuit. Lots of cases taken there on appeal from the MSPB are handled by individual appellants who are not represented by attorneys. These are called pro se appellants, and the court has a simplified briefing system for pro se appellants that reduces the time that goes into preparing complex and rigorously formatted briefs that attorneys are required to prepare. Is it worthwhile to handle a case by yourself in the Federal Circuit? The court ordinarily affirms the decision of the MSPB, meaning that it upholds the government and holds against the appellant. The statistics over the years show that the affirmation rate varies a bit from year to year, but the court probably affirms in about 95% of the MSPB cases, and that is a very high figure.

A consultation consists of a conversation with Mr. Broida, lasting between half an hour or an hour or so, by telephone or office visit, for which the current charge is $200. During the consultation, the client and Mr. Broida will discuss the problem that confronts the client and then determine if the problem can be addressed through the civil service or EEO system, whether legal counsel seems advisable, what the steps of the legal process would be, and the cost associated with those steps. On occasion, a problem that is discussed during the consultation can be resolved very quickly, and sometimes the consultation is prelude to years of litigation. Consultations are not conducted by mail or e-mail. Prior to any consultation, there will be a conversation initiated by the person seeking legal assistance with a staff member in Mr. Broida’s office, who will take basic information about the problem and basic information about the individual seeking assistance. Only the individual directly involved in the matter should be involved in a consultation and in the initial intake call.
