Government scientist who needed a federal employment attorney

I contacted John Mahoney, Esq., a partner in the law firm of Tully Rinckey, for legal advice involving a federal employment problem. My consultation with Mr. Mahoney occurred long after I had been interviewed regarding allegations made against me, a significant number of which were false. I should ha...ve contacted Mr. Mahoney as soon as the allegations emerged, but I trusted in my Agency to conduct a fair, objective, and thorough investigation. Instead, responsible management officials were using the opportunity to reduce my stature, duties, and responsibilities, as well as to degrade my work environment. Mr. Mahoney explained how he could assist me and immediately started to protect me with his in-depth knowledge of federal employment law. Over time, as my Agency retaliated against me for standing up for my rights and exercising my legal defense, Mr. Mahoney navigated me through a labyrinth of legal venues involving my Collective Bargaining Agreement rights, the Office of Special Counsel, the Merit Systems Protection Board, and the Office of Inspector General for my Agency. Without Mr. Mahoney’s guardianship, I believe my Agency would have successfully “steamrolled” me into a significantly diminished position within my Agency and in my professional community of scientists, all the while engaging in violations of law (some repeatedly), harmful errors, and procedural misconduct against me. Throughout the increasingly complex evolution of my case, Mr. Mahoney always respected my contributions to my legal defense, which is very gratifying from one professional to another, as well as my wife’s concerns. As the harm against me, and by extension my wife, increased, Mr. Mahoney repeatedly made sure the path forward contained “reality” checks to ensure we were investing our resources in the most effective way possible. The law is complex and many aspects of a case that might appear “unfair” or “unscrupulous” are in fact violations of law. As a career federal employee who concentrated on my work objectives, I had only a rudimentary understanding of what my rights were and the limited personal wealth from my wife’s and my personal finances. My only chance of being treated fairly by a large powerful Agency—funded by taxpayer money—was to find a guardian like John Mahoney who has an extensive understanding of the law and is a unflinching guardian of his clients. Incredibly, I talked to such a person on December 23 and retained him on the 26th, which shows the extent to which John Mahoney is a passionate advocate for his clients.

Excellence in Service, Experience, Dedication - Mr. John Patrick Mahoney

Mr. Mahoney cared about my case and cares about serving justice. He worked tirelessly in what was a truly mentally and physically exhausting week of hearing AND the 2.5 YEARS of endless paperwork submissions, depositions, deadlines, etc., etc., etc., that were required to move my case forward through... the system prior to finally arriving at the hearng stage. His work is exceptional, and he made it as painless as possible. I am eternally grateful to have found him. I would recommend him highly. It is a very difficult life event when you all of a sudden find yourself needing to find an attorney in a short time in a stressfull situation. I have been there. You can rest easy knowing that you have found an attorney that you can trust with Mr. John Mahoney. He has help from heaven.

Competent Attorney

Mr. Mahoney and his team were very instrumental in resolving my agency’s proposed removal action . Once I engaged his services, the team actively worked on my case and kept me abreast of all developments. His knowledge of federal employment law and employee rights led to the successful outcome of m...y case . I highly recommend John Mahoney .

Kept my job

Attorney John Mahoney represented me in an EEOC case against a charge levied against me with a proposed dismissal from a federal government position, which I held for over two decades. Mine was a protracted process, lasting several years. Mr. Mahoney was always available to assist me in preparations ...for and during many hearings and depositions. He offered professional advice and guidance, directing me every step of the way towards finally winning the case. He was very attentive to all the details of the process, i.e., the deadlines for submitting various documents, proofreading my written statements and rehearsing my oral testimonies. I always felt very comfortable asking him questions in laymen terms and found him very responsive. When he left his previously held position at another prestigious DC law firm and started his current law firm, I transferred my case to him because I knew that he would continue to represent me facilitating a successful conclusion to my case. My family and I found him most personable, polite and very professional. I do recommend him highly, without any reservations. This former client was the Complainant in Complainant v. Secretary, Dep’t of the Army, EEOC Case No. 531-2011-00095X (EEOC Baltimore Field Office Admin. J. Shubow Mar. 31, 2015)(which became the EEOC’s Final Decision on May 15, 2015), a case in which Attorney Mahoney's Client was Awarded Nearly $330,000 by the EEOC.
