Specialized Practice Areas for Federal Labor and Disability

The seasoned professionals at Harris Federal Law Firm focus their entire practice on these highly specialized legal processes. Their core focus areas include:

• Federal disability retirement: Assisting eligible employees under the Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS) and Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) who are no longer able to work effectively due to illness or injury.
• Federal workers' compensation: Navigating Office of Workers' Compensation Programs (OWCP) claims and the Federal Employees' Compensation Act (FECA) for employees injured on the job.
• Merit Systems Protection Board appeals: Representing civil servants in appealing adverse agency decisions, OPM denials, and wrongful termination disputes before the MSPB.
• Office of Personnel Management reconsiderations: Drafting detailed responses and collecting medical evidence to challenge OPM benefit denials during the administrative review phase.
