Not viable

Regardless of the outcome, which was a loss I would never recommend this lawfirm. As a federal government employee in need during the unorthodox gutting of the U.S. government system, and internal racial bias I needed assistance. This firm charged $1,900 to write one letter that only supported the ca...se I put together on my behalf. That is taking advantage of the political issues at-hand on a whole nother level. Sinful.

Excellent Federal Attorney

It’s tough to win a case in the area of federal law and government is generally hard to work with as you are going up against Goliath, which is why it speaks volumes Christopher Vaughn and his team were able to win for me.

Very disappointed

Mr Vaughn continued for years to tell me I had a "very strong case" happily collecting thousands in fees for his encouraging phone calls and email consultations. When it came time to do some actual legal writing, however, I was appalled at the weak logic and haste in which it was written. Needless to... say, I lost the case and the appeal, but that didn't stop Mr Vaughn from urging me on to file in Federal Court (because I had such a good chance of winning!). Yet when asked if he would represent me on a contingency basis in the future so I could pursue this, well, I guess my case wasn't so strong after all. Bottom line - find another lawyer who won't waste your time and money.

People's Choice

Christopher Vaughn is an excellent choice if you are looking for a lawyer to represent your interest in a workplace displace. Mediators and some attorneys seek the middle road and attempt to satisfy both parties in a quickly reached mutual agreement that puts you back at work and still in a similar ...situation. Mr. Vaughn and the Vaughn Law Firm fought to get me the fair resolution I deserved and his efforts led to those in management being held accountable for their uncaring, irresponsible and just plain wrong decisions. Not only was I returned to work but I was compensated and assured of absolutely no reprisals. My family and I are happy again and feel secure about our future with no concerns of job dissatisfaction or security. Thanks Mr. Vaughn and the Vaughn Law Firm

Vaughn Law Firm

The Vaughn Law Firm, specifically Christopher D. Vaughn and Kirby Smith represented me in a more than year-long matter with my 30-year US Government employers. They were consistently professional and the outcome was very successful! They and their staff were exactly what I needed and I am so thankfu...l for their great work on my behalf! I will certainly contact them in any future actions and recommend them to others having difficulty with government employers. /S/ Kevin D. McMurry
