Excellent lawyer

Lachlan did an excellent job representing me in my case. He kept me informed throughout the entire affair and was always available to answer any questions I had.

MSPB Trial

Lachlan McKinion and Tully Rinckey provided sensational quality service. He fought for me and my family leading us to get the ruling in our favor. There were times during the trial he even asked how I was holding up and asked about how my family is doing. During the tough times faced in leading up to... the decision me and my wife faced with severe life altering situations. Lachlan and Tully Rinckey ensured me peace of mind and delivered when it mattered the most! I would most defiantly highly recommend if you are in need of a Federal Employment Attorney, thank you Lachlan and Tully Rinckey!

Client

I was a whistleblower who disclosed violations of federal law. The Agency aggressively went after me and I really need someone on my side. I researched all the DC Law firms, and thought Tully Rinckey looked the best. I did a consult and retained the Firm. They assigned Lachlan McKinion and Dan... Meyer to my case. It was a long process, but Lachlan and Dan kept our little team focus on taking down the Goliath. And I won ! The MSPB Judge found for me. Thanks Lachlan ! Thanks Dan ! And thanks TR !
