“Serving those who serve in government”

A Sample Of Favorable Results
For Our Federal Employee Clients

Listed below are just a few of our recent settlements that we were able to secure for our clients with the applicable federal departments/agencies. This is by no means an all-inclusive list and the different settlements may also include other additional items for our clients such as disability retirement, job restoration or reinstatement.

Schedule Awards

Following are just some of our recent Schedule Award payments that we secured from the United States Department of Labor for our worker’s Compensation (OWCP) clients. Permanent impairment to certain parts of the body will entitle the claimant to an award of compensation payable for a set number of weeks. These are generally referred to as “Schedule Awards”.

Note: These payments are made directly to our clients and our law firm DOES NOT get any percentage of these payments.
