Unmatched Expertise for Complex Federal EEOC Cases

I filed an EEOC case in early 2025 and initially consulted another law firm, but I wasn’t satisfied with their advice. After a year of handling the case on my own, the hearing process became overwhelming. In a moment of urgency, I found PJ. Even though he is known for his extensive experience with... military cases, as a federal employee, I immediately felt confident in his ability to handle my situation. Looking back, I wish I had found him sooner. PJ resolved a year’s worth of frustration in a single stroke. His approach is sharp, decisive, and exactly what federal employees need when they feel stuck. A 5-star rating isn't enough to describe the quality of service PJ provides. He is truly the ‘Top of the Top.’ If you want to save time and escape from mental stress, I highly recommend trusting PJ with your case. He is an expert who understands the complexities of federal employment law like no one else.

The Best in The Game

Mr. Judge is a lawyer beyond compare. He consistently went above and beyond, and exceeded every expectation. He cares, he listens and I knew I could always count on his honest and straightforward opinions and creative approaches. PJ saved my career and I️ would trust and recommend his services to any...one who needs a fighter in their corner. The best in the game.

Paul Judge is an incomparable advocate

Paul “PJ” Judge is the finest attorney I have ever known and I cannot recommend him enough. He is one of the finest minds of his generation who is capable of navigating complex criminal and administrative law better than any attorney I’ve consulted.

Administrative Action Downgraded!

I can't speak more highly of Paul (PJ) Judge and his depth and breadth of experience and expertise navigating the unique challenges of the military justice system. He was professional and proactive, as well as aggressive and creative with all of his strategy and communications with me and with my cha...in of command while dealing with an administrative action. I would recommend PJ and Mangan Law without reservation over ADC or public defense to any military member facing administrative action, nonjudicial punishment, or court martial proceedings. Can't thank them enough for their help.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
