Posted by Shanikqua Sharp | January 12, 2024 | Hired Attorney | Wrongful Termination

Federal Employee - wrongful termination/discrimination

Mr. Pitts-Wiley accepted my case despite the fact that he only had two weeks to prepare and go before AJ. I thought my case was a sure win, because of the facts and evidence presented during EEO investigation. So I didn't think I needed a lawyer. Due to experience and expertise in Federal law, m...ore specifically whistleblower retaliation and wrongful termination, Mr. Pitts-Wiley advised against an EEO appeal. He has genuine concern and care for me as his client. He has been my voice of reason and logic and prevented me from making decisions and choices based on my emotional state that would have resulted in a significant amount of additional unnecessary lawyer fees. I was mad at first because I wanted what I wanted. He was quite clear and a matter of fact that what I WANTED was not in my best interests at that time.... It validates my rating of excellent because he was doing what was in my best interest emotionally as well as financially. He could have filed an initial appeal and padded his pockets based on my emotional state. But he went above and beyond to fully explain why an appeal would not be advantageous at THAT TIME. While waiting for my Agency to make a decision on my proposed removal Mr. Pitts-Wiley would check in to see how I was doing. This speaks volumes and further validates my 5 star rating. Two years later.... Mr. Pitts-Wiley's knowledge, professionalism, experience and dedication is beyond reproach. I've never felt so confident about my case than I do Now... two years later. It is more than evident that he was a God send and that having him and his team represent was the best decision ever. He has been extremely transparent regarding the possible outcomes, however just based on his actions in what I would consider minute details is proving to monumental in my case. His level of transparency, professionalism, dedication and compassion, makes me want to go back to school so I can help others as he and his team has guided me through this process! I'm excited for the outcome.

Excellent, measured, informed

Mr. Pitts-Wiley was a well-informed, measured, and competent attorney. He was experienced in working govt/IC employment law cases and kept me informed of all my options every step of the way. I was more than satisfied with the resolution and the support I received.

Highly recommended

Thanks to Ricardo, I was able to successfully resolve my case with a former employer. He was very sympathic and understood the stress I was going through at that time. I have recommended him to several former co-workers and friends. I appreciated his representation.

Federal Employment Attorney

Ricardo, failed to provide high quality legal services in a timely manner. I would not recommend his services to provide effective advocacy and legal representation for a Federal Employee.
