I retained Pines Federal to handle my Disability Retirement package and from the beginning, they…read morewere knowledgeable and realistic about the process. They carefully reviewed OPM's denial, addressed each issue with supporting evidence, and worked with my physicians to present a stronger case. The process took time--as federal disability retirement cases often do--but their team kept me informed and gave me confidence that my case was being handled professionally. The result was that OPM reversed its initial denials and approved my FERS disability retirement on reconsideration. If you're a federal employee facing a disability retirement denial or navigating the FERS process, I highly recommend Pines Federal. Their understanding of federal employment law and disability retirement was evident throughout my case, and I'm grateful for their representation.

We hired Pines Federal two years ago. At first, securing representation brought a sense of…read morerelief--a belief that we finally had someone in our corner. That feeling was short-lived. What should have been professional legal counsel devolved into a multi-year ordeal marked by missed meetings, dishonesty, severe communication delays, and constant anxiety. Despite my husband providing two years of meticulously organized documentation, the firm's handling of the case resulted in severe adverse inferences from the judge. Having a judge penalize this case because of how the legal team managed the record effectively stripped away our opportunity for justice. Realizing that years of hard-earned evidence were rendered useless due to the firm's shortcomings is the most painful part of this entire experience. I am sharing this review because client care isn't just about managing a case; it directly impacts real lives. The way this case was handled cost our family two years of peace, significant financial loss, and our one opportunity to seek justice and hold a bureaucratic agency accountable. Based on this experience, I would recommend finding other legal representation.

I honestly didn't know what to expect--but within two weeks, he addressed my concerns and accomplished what my previous attorney had not been able to achieve in a year. What stood out most was that I felt seen and heard. He listened, understood the story behind the situation, and was able to translate it into a clear, efficient strategy. He didn't wait for opposing counsel to make the next move. He picked up the phone, advocated for me, negotiated directly, and got the matter resolved. I am incredibly grateful for the way he and his team handled my situation--with care, thoughtfulness, honesty, capability, and fairness.

From our initial consultation through every follow-up conversation, they were professional, experienced, transparent, and genuinely caring. They took the time to clearly explain my options, laid out a practical path forward, and set realistic expectations without the exaggerated promises I encountered elsewhere. Throughout the process, Jenny and Todd were incredibly supportive and went above and beyond to protect my interests. During a particularly challenging period of health recovery, they helped ensure the company remained accountable while negotiations were underway, giving me the space and confidence to focus on my well-being. Most importantly, they delivered exactly what we discussed from the beginning that's a strong outcome with a win-win resolution for everyone involved. Their strategic approach, professionalism, and attention to detail made all the difference. As this was my first legal matter, I couldn't have asked for better advocates. I would gladly work with Jenny and Todd again, and highly recommend them to anyone seeking knowledgeable, trustworthy, and effective employment attorneys. They did an amazing job, and I am sincerely thankful for everything they accomplished on my behalf.

After five months, we had no discernible work product or court motions initiated. Even after many months, they were not sufficiently familiar with our cases despite numerous conversations and providing well organized documentation. They seem to be honest and only billed 1-3 hours per week though. But if you need aggressive, proactive, and creative attorneys...go elsewhere!!! We recently retained another DC based law firm at nearly twice their hourly rate. Hopefully they'll advance our cases.
