Look No More: Genuine, Honest and Humbling Services

First and foremost, I would like to respectfully and humbly take the time to express my sincere appreciation and outmost gratitude to Mr. Fallings and his team. I am very grateful and give all thanks & glory to our lord and savior for allowing me to have faith, entrust the people he surrounded me wit...h and to embrace the genuine help that is effortlessly provided. Thanks to Mr. Fallings and his team justice has been served after countless years of wrongful doing with heartless acts of misconduct. Mr. Fallings and his team was able to represent me against the discrimination, retaliation, wrongful doing and abuse of authority I was suffering from over countless years. Mr. Fallings and his team executed professionalism, amazing work ethics, attentiveness, open line of communication and optimal exceptional services provided along with upholding their due diligence was absolutely astonishing.

Review

Mr. Fallings is a consummate professional and lawyer. My particular case went on well over four years resulting in it being case law at the CAFC and, also, at the MSPB. That can be directly attributed to Mr. Fallings. Not to get into specifics but there was a former associate, initially, doing mos...t of the day-to-day work. I perceived this individual of having a defeatist attitude. I then expressed my misgivings to Mr. Fallings and, at that point, he course corrected thus becoming directly involved with my case which, to me, made all the difference--removal ultimately REVERSED. I have heard many of people complain about lawyers being expensive and only caring about money. That may be true in many cases but I can state clearly here that Mr. Fallings and his firm were worth every penny and I never had those thoughts. As a former military man, always fight and complete your mission. Mr. Fallings was there for my fight with me the entire time and a huge compliment to Tully Rinckey. He is a TRUE CHAMPION!

Discrimination, retaliation

Mr. Fallings took on my case after my agency discriminated against me and retaliated against me after I spoke up for myself when an El Paso Judge discriminated against me after I offered her cultural competency training. Mr. Fallings was able to get my performance appraisal changed from the lower rat...ing they gave me to exceptional as I deserved. Mr. Fallings helped me through a very difficult time and his firm helped repair a man who had been broken. I lost faith in humanity, Mr. Fallings and one specific colleague of his helped give my kids their father back. If you have been discriminated against or retaliated against Mr. Fallings is the attorney for you.

Best in the biz

Mr Fallings took my case about 1/2 through the appeal process due to primary and second chair leaving the firm- he wasted no time and fought for me like family. Mr Fallings quickly secured a fair and just settlement with the agency when I was expecting a very extended and expensive litigation proces...s. I could not be happier with the outcome. Thank you so much for everything!

Peace of mind in legal services.

Mr. Fallings represented me in my discrimination/wrongful termination case. I can objectively say Mr. Fallings always supported my tough case especially when I needed him the most, all the way to the end. His expertise and experience are of excellence levels as well as his professionalism. My trus...t is difficult to earn, my demands are high. Mr. Fallings exceeded all my expectations. Mr. Fallings was a great support in difficult times in my life.
