Mr. R. Scott Oswald, Mr. Nick Woodfield, and the Employment Law Group successfully represented me in a five year whistleblower/employment case against my employer, a U.S. Government Agency. Attorneys are like physicians in that when you need a specialist, you want the best. The ELG may be expensiv...e, but I have found that you get what you pay for when it comes to representation. Our case took five years to litigate against the Agency and the Merit Systems Protection Board. Ultimately, my case went before the U.S. Federal Circuit Court of Appeals and we won a precedent setting decision. Scott reviewed my case initially. He told me at the time, "this case is going to be difficult, but we can win it….are you ready to go all the way?". His evaluation was 100% correct. My Agency (and the MSPB) fought us every step of the way, but thanks to Scott, Nick, and the ELG, we prevailed. When I first arrived at the ELG, I was beaten down and despondent. Scott, Max Masinter, and the ELG team listened to my story, picked out the relevant issues, developed an action plan, and gave me the strength to keep fighting. I really indebted to them for saving my job and giving me my life back. I would recommend them without hesitation.

I'm an attorney. I retained Scott and his team to handle an employment separation agreement for me. Admittedly, my demands were modest and reasonable, but they were important to me, and Scott delivered on all of them. Never once did I question his judgment or his team's commitment to my matter. I... highly recommend Scott and The Employment Law Group.

I highly recommend Scott Oswald and The Employment Law Group. From the start, Scott took my case very seriously and saw the legal merits of my claims of discrimination and retaliation. Scott anticipated the exact actions my former employer was about to take and enabled me to be prepared and safeguard...ed by the law and his team's representation. Scott is to be commended for his commitment to helping working people protect their rights, and prevail, (as in my case, through a negotiated settlement), in the face of labor and employment law violations by employers.

When searching for an attorney I searched for someone who was knowledgeable in all matters of employment law, a stellar communicator and someone who would be aggressive when necessary and not afraid to “get his hands dirty”. I found those attributes and more in Scott Oswald. As a legal professio...nal and as a person he conducts himself in the most respectful and professional manner imaginable. As my counsel he possessed an expertise in all areas of the law that pertained to my case and used his vast skill set to methodically create a plan that combined reasonable negotiations with out sacrificing the tactical leverage necessary to pursue successful litigation. Attorney Oswald retains a loyal and dedicated staff that worked diligently on our behalf and always kept the lines of communications open. He possessed a great work ethic and was very sensitive to the urgency and sensitivity of our issues. Mr. Oswald's fortitude in fighting to preserve my right of access to the court system was compelling and matched only by his quick wit and compassionate demeanor. A positive outcome was reached that exceeded our expectations. And these results were obtained in an efficient and timely manner. I highly recommend Scott Oswald as a legal advocate for anyone who wishes to seek redress in our court system.
