| August 2010: After an oral reply, the Attig Law Firm was able to persuade an Agency to mitigate our client's proposed removal to a 7 day suspension. For a variety of reasons, we will not disclose the Agency or the specific nature of the charges. The Appellant contended that she had not engaged in the conduct that the Agency alleged was misconduct. The client's significant contributions to civil service over the past 2 decades, the nature of the charges, and the support from her colleagues, and supervisors, appeared to be significant factors in persuading the Deciding Official that our client still had quite a bit to contribute to Federal service, and he chose not to remove her. |
