Excellent for hostile workplace issues

I highly recommend Attorney David Fallon for several reasons: • Expertise: Mr. Fallon's extensive knowledge of the relevant laws and precedents was instrumental in navigating the complexities of my case against the US Forest Service, giving me confidence throughout the process. • Organization: He i...s exceptionally well-organized, ensuring all necessary documents were compiled to build a strong case, especially at hearing. His attention to detail and meticulous record-keeping were crucial assets. • Affordability: Mr. Fallon has been reasonable and transparent with his fees, making quality legal representation accessible during this challenging time. • Communication: He has been prompt in his communication, keeping me informed every step of the way and addressing my questions in a timely manner. • Empathy: Mr. Fallon took the time to patiently explain procedures to me, a legal novice, and showed empathy towards the traumatic experiences I had to relive. His approach was both professional and compassionate, making a difficult situation more manageable. Overall, Mr. Fallon's exceptional legal expertise, organizational skills, financial reasonableness, and compassionate approach were instrumental in the successful outcome of my case. I highly recommend his services to anyone in need of a skilled and dedicated legal representative.

Winning at the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB)

I hired David Fallon to represent me regarding a wrongful termination from the Dept of the Navy. I needed, and my case required an experienced Attorney who had augured at the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB) hearing. In Court experience, is very important. I’ll never forget what the Judge sai...d to me as he slid the case file over to the left side of his desk at the end of our three-day hearing, “Mr. Myers, Mr. Fallon is worth every dime you paid him”. Although he didn’t tell us at the time if we had won or not. In short, it took 4 months to get the initial decision, which reversed my removal. After almost 3 years, I was reinstated. I received 3 years back pay, interest, refunded all my attorney’s fees, and was promoted. My family will always be indebted to Dave for saving my job and family from having to start over. God Bless- Rick

Highly recommend, very knowledgeable

Attorney David Fallon was hired for a despairing situation of mine where my own proactive actions came with no success. Mr Fallon listened very attentively, provided empathy and asked relevant questions where I felt heard and guided right from the beginning. His high level knowledge of the Tenant/Lan...dlord law is worth every dollar because he provided a clear and concise obtainable resolution. This gave me much relief and peace of mind with knowing he had a successful plan. He is easy going during discussions yet sharp and aggressive with his strategies. I highly recommend Attorney Mr Fallon!

Great Consultation

David was very easy going to work with! He provided good information and positive feedback regarding my situation. He was quite knowledgeable and very attentive. Most importantly he listened to my words and provided me information based on what I was experiencing. His attention to detail and abilit...y to recall information was very helpful to me in deciding how to move forward.
