MY LAW PRACTICE
I stick to representing Federal government employees and Postal workers
seeking OPM disability retirement. I also represent them in agency leave
problems such as AWOL, FMLA, LWOP, etc. Leave problems often come along
with being sick and disabled.
I have stuck to this area of the law for more than 27 years of the 40
years I have been a lawyer.
Therefore.
I do not do OWCP (Workers’ Compensation).
I do not do Social Security Disability cases
I do not do general practice, such as wills, real estate, accident
cases, etc.

THIS WEBSITE
In 1995 I published a booklet entitled Disability Retirement Law for
Federal Government Employees. The contents of that booklet (edited as
things change) are now the Legal Manual page of this site.
When I got the grasp of Internet technology, I hired the best web
designer I could find to build my website, Mark Cyphers of DC Web
Designers, http://www.dcwebdesigners.com. Recently, Mark redesigned the
site you are on, complete with a blog. He does the technical thing. I do
the law thing.
This web site is the product of many years representing Federal
government employees and Postal workers seeking disability retirement. I
built it to teach what I learned and to prod the government into doing
better.
Except for skydiving, nothing is more exhilarating.
