Request a ConsultationFor federal employees seeking to challenge an adverse initial decision in a federal employment matter, pursuing an appeal may be a necessary step. It is important to carefully review the decision notice for information on appeal rights and ensure that any actions are taken in a timely manner. Due to various procedural factors, delays in appellate-level decisions may sometimes occur. If you receive an initial decision, consider seeking legal assistance with the appeals process. The Law Office of Norman F. Nivens handles matters related to federal employment appeals, including appellate litigation. Pursuing an appeal of the initial decision may still be an option, and other potential claims or approaches could also be considered. Acting promptly is essential when seeking assistance with such matters. For guidance on your specific situation, contact The Law Office of Norman F. Nivens to discuss your case.
