Federal employment law is different from other branches of law. It doesn’t follow the same rules as private sector work. If you are a federal employee facing issues like wrongful removal, discrimination, or security clearance problems, it’s not just your job on the line—it’s your career. Your name. Your future. This is where Pines Federal steps in.
Founded by attorney Eric L. Pines, a nationally recognized federal employment lawyer, mediator, and attorney business coach, this firm is built around one mission: to protect the rights of federal employees. That’s it—no dabbling and no distractions. Here are the top reasons to choose Pines Federal for your federal employment cases.
A Firm Built for Federal Employees
Pines Federal Employment Attorneys don’t just work on federal employment cases—they live in them. Every lawyer on the team is focused solely on helping federal workers defend their rights in cases before the MSPB, EEOC, and other federal bodies.
They represent professionals whose careers rest on complex legal fights. They’ve gone toe-to-toe with massive agencies and come out ahead—often with national media paying attention. Whether it’s fighting a wrongful removal or protecting a security clearance, the firm’s approach is strategic, personal, and battle-tested.
Real Wins and Reputation
This isn’t a firm that plays it safe. Pines Federal has secured major wins for whistleblowers, fought through high-stakes discrimination cases, and recovered jobs and benefits for clients across the country. Some of their victories have even reshaped how agencies handle internal complaints. They’ve also handled confidential matters for well-known athletes and public figures.
Though you won’t find names listed (respect matters more than PR), the trust speaks volumes. On July 19, 2023, Pines Federal achieved a significant victory in front of the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB) in an OPM disability case. In a discrimination case, an attorney from Pines Federal litigated and helped a registered nurse secure $100,000 in non-pecuniary compensatory damages.
Where and How They Work
Though based in Houston, Pines Federal represents clients nationwide. Geography doesn’t matter when the problem is federal. Whether you’re in Alaska or Florida, they can help. And unlike many firms, they don’t treat you like a case file. They call back. They break down the legalese.
They make sure you feel heard. They provide a tailored approach to each case. The firm also gives back, often taking on pro bono work for veterans and mentoring young lawyers entering federal law. It’s a values-first culture—and it shows.
Why Clients Trust Them
Clients don’t come to Pines Federal for generic help. They come because the firm knows federal systems inside out. Because the attorneys are relentless in defending careers. Because they get results. The attorneys have over 60 years of combined experience, which helps them win the case easily. Clients trust them and recommend this firm to their friends and family when facing federal employment issues.
