The client received a notice of proposed removal regarding allegations of serious misconduct. The client was a federal air marshal with the Department of Homeland Security. Prior to this office assuming representation, the client was removed from federal service.
This firm assumed representation after the client’s removal. An appeal with the MSPB is filed on behalf of the client, challenging the removal from federal service. The parties engage in significant discovery and depositions.
Upon resuming representation after the government shutdown, the parties litigated the matter at the MSPB. The parties proceeded to a full MSPB hearing at the MSPB office in Manhattan, New York.
The MSPB overturned the removal and MITIGATED the penalty to a 7-day suspension. The client was immediately placed back in a full pay status and returned to work.
