Protecting Federal Employees
From Adverse Actions
Federal employees have a specific set of rights protected by Federal law

Fortunately, Robert P. Erbe is a well-versed federal employment law attorney committed to representing federal employees nationwide who have been subject to actions that have impacted their federal employment standing.

Adverse Action Representation
Unlike in the private sector, federal employees are protected by unique laws and regulations. When federal employees are faced with a personnel action, such as a suspension, demotion, or removal action, their employment may be compromised and their retirement benefits as well as their reputation become at risk.
In these complex cases, employees cannot resort to traditional lawsuits such as private sector employees. Instead, they must go through the administrative process including responding to a proposed adverse action and, if sustained, challenging that action before the MSPB. That’s when you need MSPB law expert Robert P. Erbe to assist you in the reply to the adverse action and filing an appeal with the MSPB to ensure you obtain a favorable resolution.
Legal Guidance Involving USERRA Military Rights
he Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) is a federal law designed to encourage non-career service in the uniformed service by minimizing the disadvantages to civilian careers and employment that can result from such service. USERRA also prohibits discrimination against federal employees because of such service.
When you believe your rights under USERRA have been violated, Robert P. Erbe is here to advocate on your behalf. From understanding both federal civilian employment benefits and military service as an Air Force Judge Advocate General, Mr. Erbe will work tirelessly to provide you with unwavering legal representation.
Reprisal For Whistleblower Activity
The Whistleblower Protection Act protects whistleblowers who risk their own personal job security for the advancement of the public good by disclosing abuses by federal government personnel. The law prohibits agencies from taking adverse personnel action against employees and applicants for employment because they have engaged in whistleblower activities.
The federal law in this area is extremely complex and there is a unique process for federal employees to follow before being able to get a hearing before an MSPB administrative judge. The Law Office of Robert P. Erbe can assist you through this maze to ensure you are not being retaliated against because of protected disclosures.
