  All the staff at Brown and Goodkin are very knowledgeable about OPM and FECA cases and they have fought hard for my rights as a disabled federal worker. It is very helpful to me that I don’t have to worry about anything because I know they have my cases under control and if anything happens they will address it and fight for me. The entire office staff is dedicated to their clients and very friendly which is helpful since the issues they handle are stressful for everyone involved. The communication is great and I feel like they actually care about me and my case. I highly recommend them for any federal employment issue.

  Avoid Brown & Goodkin – Unprofessional and Dismissive I reached out to Brown & Goodkin for a consultation regarding a reasonable accommodation issue. My conversation with their attorney lasted maybe five to seven minutes, during which he continuously interrupted me, claimed he didn’t understand my situation, and even stated that he didn’t have much time for this. His tone was dismissive, borderline rude, and unprofessional. Despite barely giving me a chance to explain my case, he abruptly suggested that I might not have a case and then asked if I’d be willing to pay $600 just for a consultation. At that point, it was clear that he wasn’t interested in truly assessing my situation—just collecting a fee. I expect professionalism and respect when seeking legal guidance, and this firm did not deliver. I wouldn’t recommend them to anyone dealing with employment law matters, especially those seeking fair treatment and advocacy in sensitive cases. Look elsewhere for a lawyer who values their clients.

  I was hurt a work, I was a firefighter , and told I would never be one again. In all honesty I was told if I were to be hit in the head, I would become a crippled. I applied for workman's comp and was denied for every little thing you could imagine. The doctor's report was done by a physician's assistant not an MD, or saying they never received papers I sent registered mail. It never ended. I had multiple attorneys over about eight years or so, and found Dan. He asked for a rather large retainer, for me on disability anyway, but kept assuring me I had a good case. He didn't give up even when I would have. There's something about him not many know, but he is on a review board to help work out ways workman's comp rules are handled, but most importantly, he can talk informally to people higher in the agency than most others can. This doesn't mean any rules get bent, or favoritism, just being able to ask a reasonable question about what is going on, and getting an answer that makes sense. He asked a few questions and kept filing, and asking questions, and kept reassuring me that we would win. He arranged everything, from Doctors I needed to see, or forms I had to fill out, he took care of it all. I was apprehensive, because it took a long time, but had faith in him, and I won. I couldn't belive it. After words there was some things to take care of, like switching from disability to workman's comp, retirement, and a few other things, but he helped with all of those. I know for a fact I could call right now, and get him on the phone if I had to. He even answered emails and phone calls after hours and on weekends. If you call him and he tells you, you have a chance, then you do, and he and his staff will take care of you. He's fair on his fees, and belive me he earns them. He's also very down to earth, and talks more like some one you could sit and have a drink with and talk for hours. I can only say after ten or twelve years with no hope I won, and it's because of him.

  1. I like that Brown & Goodkin along with their staff are very experienced in Federal law. There are very few country wide Attorneys that are specialized in this difficult matter. 2. Yes, the entire team communicates effectively especially Erika, she is excellent in both knowledge and service. 3. Yes, Brown & Goodkin meet and exceed my expectations. 4. I would absolutely refer Brown & Goodkin to others.
