Great attorney

Richard Lowell successfully guided me through my appeal with the Merit System Protection Board. He was very easy to work with and always responded to my questions. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing legal assistance.

A Helpful Lawyer

I petitioned for my rights under relevant labor law and my employer terminated me and told IDES that I had been terminated for cause. Mr. Lowell helped me through the appeals process where we convinced a judge that no basis for termination existed. Mr. Lowell provided the legal and procedural informa...tion needed to avoid missteps in this process and helped my simplify a complex back-story for presentation, working through many details to highlight those relevant to the matter at issue. Before hiring Mr. Lowell, I had spoken to another employment lawyer whose name was provided by the local bar association. My decision to work with Mr. Lowell was based on his better knowledge of labor law and his ability to home in on the important issues in a confusing complex of events. I have been very happy with his services to date and look forward to working with him in the future as the need arises.

  • 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.
