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.

Retaining Pines Federal was the best decision I could have made, and working directly with Courtney Bolton was an absolute blessing. Ms. Bolton is nothing short of phenomenal.

Every single time, she stepped in with words of encouragement, grounded reassurance, and the strength I needed to keep going. She treated me not just as a case file, but as a person who mattered. Thanks to her dedication, patience, and hard work, my SSDI claim was fully approved all the way back to my original filing date almost two years ago. I truly cannot say enough great things about Courtney.

My facts and evidence are stronger than 99% of the "purely speculative" cases they do take. This is why I insisted on them telling me if they would take cases against a government BEFORE setting up/paying for consultation. As I predicted, the immediately declined to have any involvement with an opposing party is a governmental entity. Had I not pushed for a response, I would've been out $500 for their firm to just tell me that they don't take cases against the government. I found that disingenuous to nickel & dime prospective clients like that. NOT RECOMMENDED.

While firms have the right to choose their cases, $250 is a significant amount to pay for a simple 'no.' It feels like the firm prioritizes collecting fees over performing a basic screening to see if a case is a fit first. I suggest others look for a firm that values your time and money enough to do a preliminary check before charging you.

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. And despite the accolades for the firm's lawyer "Jonathan" here, I literally don't think he said more than a dozen words on roughly 5-6 conference calls. He also never queried us via email nor did he draft any motions or letters. We still don't know what he did.
