George Melville Johnson

I hired this attorney around September 2017. I had to fire them in March 2018. I was having a hard time trying to figure out if they represented me or the federal government. They tried to discourage me from defending myself. I have a discrimination case and they seemed to have a problem with me ...identifying the race of the senior management of the agency, who I made about 20 complaints to before they let the people I was complaining about remove me from Federal service. This firm also wanted me to leave out critical events in my case. They left out critical legal advice. I got more advice by going to the web site of Pines Federal and EEO 21; and that was free. George Melville Johnson is the owner, but he assigned me to Shaun Yancey, who they say is the senior associate on the staff. I wouldn't hire Shaun Yancey to fill out a car loan application for me. I had to put Yancey on an email only communication method. You can't trust anything he says. You might have to deal with Shaun Yancey, but George Johnson is copied on every email. He knows about this. Even though I encourage everyone to get themselves a qualified attorney, I would represent myself before I used this firm. Don't waste your money.

I had been working for the VA for nine years, and I had always been great at my job. Then I was assigned a new supervisor, and suddenly I was terrible at my job. This supervisor was setting me up to fail, and I was facing losing the job that I love, and the job that I am great at because of him. I br...ought on Melville Johnson, P.C., and soon after they submitted the discovery requests the VA rescinded my termination. At first I was happy to have my job back, but after two months they still hadn’t paid me. When I explained the situation to the team at Melville Johnson, they contacted the Judge and I received my paycheck at the end of the week. It was an expensive process, but it was worth it.

I had worked for the federal government for thirteen years, and as I got older my supervisors tried to force me out of my job in order to replace me with a younger employee. They increased my workload and placed unreasonable deadlines in order to set me up for failure. They claimed that they were doi...ng this because they were not able to hire new employees to replace the one who had left, but I was the only one who’s work was increased. This had a detrimental effect on my health and disability, and I was no longer able to work. With the help of Melville Johnson, P.C. and Mr. Durishan I was able to take my constructive termination case to the Merit System Protection Board, and we were able to settle my appeal. They kept me in the loop every step of the way, and took the time to make sure that I understood what to expect. While I would have liked a larger settlement, the team at Melville Johnson, P.C. got the government up to their highest offer and I am glad I chose them.

I hired Melville Johnson, PC because my human resources department completely botched my disability retirement application. They told me that I needed to have my Social Security Disability Insurance approved before they could file my application for disability retirement. That process took years, a...nd when we submitted my disability retirement application the Office of Personnel Management said I was too late. I worked with Mr. Durishan and the team at Melville Johnson, PC and OPM agreed to accept my application. OPM then denied it because they said I did not have a disability. Thankfully the team over at Melville Johnson, PC were able to work with my health care providers, and I am now able to afford living closer to my kids with my disability retirement annuity payments.

I hired Melville Johnson P.C. in January 2015 to represent my Merit Systems Protection Board case against Department of the Army. From the minute I spoke with the intake manager Mr. Scott W., I felt like I was on the right track. I received my consultation with Mr. Johnson, he accepted my case, and g...ave me an estimate of what to expect over the coming months. In total, my case lasted about 6 months, I am satisfied with the outcome, and would highly recommend this firm. Mr. Johnson is a great leader, he knows how to run a business properly, and he hires smart people who care about their work. Mr. Johnson assigned me his Senior Associate, Mr. Shaun Yancey, to work on my case. I know that Mr. Johnson provided the oversight, reviewed all correspondence, and made course correction as necessary. During difficult moments of the case was where Mr. Johnson's experience really shined. Melville Johnson P.C. is the best bang for your buck and the most seasoned law firm in their areas of expertise. They are results driven, task oriented, and communicate realistic expectations. I like how the cost was transparent, they were on top of e-mails, and would call me when they needed information on the spot. Their staff are great writers, well versed in researching case law, and strategists. Mr. Johnson's firm is one of a kind, truly unique, and you will not find anyone better than his team. Trust me, hire him, he's worth every penny!
