PRACTICE AREAS

We won an appeal at the EEOC Office of Federal Operations on behalf of a DOJ employee who alleged that the Agency failed to give her reasonable accommodations leading to her removal from federal service. After our client filed an EEO complaint, the Agency issued a Final Agency Decision (FAD) finding no discrimination. We appealed the decision to the OFO, who found that the Agency indeed denied our client reasonable accommodations, leading to her removal. The OFO ordered the Agency to reinstate our client to her former position and pay her back pay, compensatory damages, and attorney’s fees.

On December 11, 2015, a federal jury awarded $555,000 in back pay and other damages to our client, Jennifer B. Campbell, former Chief Operating Officer of the DC Department of Health Care Finance (DHCF). We proved that DHCF violated Ms. Campbell’s due process rights by reporting negative allegations to the media before discussing the issues with her. The District appealed the jury verdict and in 2018, the Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit upheld the jury verdict and awarded Ms. Campbell attorney’s fees incurred in defending the appeal.
