Who Qualifies

Do You Qualify for an MSPB Appeal?

Not every federal employee action can be appealed to the MSPB. If you have been terminated, suspended for 14 days or more, demoted, or faced another significant adverse personnel action, you may have the right to challenge it. A quick assessment can help determine whether your case meets the eligibility requirements for MSPB review.

Our Services

MSPB Appeals We Handle

Termination / Removal Appeals

A removal from federal service can have serious, long-term consequences for your career, benefits, and future employment opportunities. If you have been terminated, you may be eligible to challenge the agency’s decision before the MSPB. We carefully review your case to identify procedural errors, missed deadlines, or insufficient evidence. Proper preparation, timely filing, and strategic guidance are critical to protecting your rights.

Suspension Appeals (14+ Days)

Suspensions lasting 14 days or more are often appealable and can have a significant impact on your income, record, and professional advancement. Our team evaluates whether the agency followed proper procedures and whether the suspension can be formally challenged. We guide you through each step, from filing deadlines to required documentation. Early assessment and structured representation help maximize your chance of a favorable outcome.

Demotion Appeals

A reduction in grade or pay can significantly affect your professional standing and long-term career trajectory. Certain demotions qualify for MSPB review, depending on your position and circumstances. We analyze the agency’s actions, review evidence, and prepare a well-documented appeal. Our goal is to ensure your case is handled strategically and in full compliance with federal employment regulations.

Other Qualifying Adverse Actions

Some additional personnel actions, including detailed performance or disciplinary actions, may be appealable depending on your role, tenure, and the specific circumstances. If you’re unsure whether your situation qualifies, we provide a structured case review to clarify your options. Each case is carefully examined to ensure deadlines are met and procedural rules are followed. Our approach is thorough, professional, and focused entirely on protecting your rights.

Our Process

How the MSPB Appeal Process Works

Navigating an MSPB appeal can be complex and time-sensitive. Federal employees must comply with strict deadlines and procedural rules to preserve their rights. Understanding each step of the process helps you prepare, avoid common mistakes, and present a strong case. We guide you through every stage with structured, professional support.

01

Case Review and Eligibility Assessment

We start by carefully reviewing your agency action, employment status, and timeline to determine whether your case qualifies for MSPB review. This step identifies key issues, deadlines, and evidence requirements. Early assessment is critical for a successful filing strategy.

02

Filing the Appeal

MSPB appeals typically must be filed within 30 days of the action. We prepare a thorough filing package, ensuring all forms, supporting documentation, and legal arguments meet procedural standards. Timely submission is essential to protect your rights.

03

Evidence and Legal Argument

Once your appeal is filed, we assist with gathering documents, reviewing agency records, and preparing legal arguments. Each piece of evidence is evaluated to support your case and challenge any deficiencies in the agency’s action.

04

Hearings or Alternative Resolution

Some cases proceed to a hearing before an administrative judge, while others may resolve earlier through procedural review. Remote hearings are available nationwide, allowing clients to participate from anywhere. We ensure you are fully prepared and represented throughout.

05

Final Determination and Next Steps

After the MSPB issues a decision, we review the outcome and advise on any further options. This may include appeals, corrections, or additional filings. Our goal is to guide you from start to finish with confidence and clarity.
