Save your money and represent yourself! This law firm is not transparent, delay every process for their own convenience, miss judge imposed due dates, aren't prepared for court proceedings, fail to utilize all available resources, lack the knowledge of how to follow up and use a calendar and have zero aptitude at dealing with customer complaints. Ultimately, their ineptitude lost a case for me and my coworkers who had also been bullied under terrible management. Please, don't hire this firm. They have proven on many levels that they were incompetent.

Unfortunately, my experience with this firm was extremely disappointing.
I retained the firm because I was dealing with a serious federal employment/EEO matter and expected experienced, attentive, and strategic representation. Instead, the overall experience became increasingly frustrating.
One of my biggest concerns was communication and the level of involvement from the attorneys. I was under the impression that Ryan would play a primary role in my case because of his experience, yet most of my case was handled by Shane. Over time, I became increasingly dissatisfied with how my case was being handled and repeatedly expressed my desire for greater involvement from Ryan.
I also had ongoing concerns about billing. I had been making regular payments and believed I was substantially caught up, but I was later presented with a remaining balance that did not make sense based on my records. I repeatedly requested a detailed accounting showing the charges, payments, credits, adjustments, and running balance so I could understand exactly how the amount was calculated. That issue remained a significant source of frustration.
Ultimately, the firm withdrew from my representation because of non-payment. I understand that attorneys and law firms have the right to enforce their fee agreements, and I am not suggesting that a client should not pay legitimate legal fees. My concern is the overall handling of the relationship, the unresolved billing questions, and the level of representation I experienced along the way.
I was not working during much of this period and was doing everything I could to meet my financial obligations while trying to rebuild my career. I still made efforts to make payments and communicate with the firm in good faith.
What makes this particularly disappointing is that I hired this firm during an extremely important and stressful period of my life because I believed I was going to have experienced attorneys fighting for me. Instead, I leave the relationship feeling that I did not receive the level of representation, communication, or client support I expected.
Despite all your concerns the Management to include Tyler will say he addressed your issues however will do an absolutely terrible job, and you will feel very hesitant to contact him for any more concerns.
I am sharing this review because prospective clients deserve to know what my experience was actually like. Your experience may be different, but based on mine, I would not recommend this firm.
I would not recommend this lawfirm to anyone who wishes to get the best representation for their case.
I contacted Devadoss Law Firm as a prospective client regarding a federal employment matter. During the exchange, an employee accused me of using AI to assist with my written correspondence and advised me not to continue communicating with the firm in writing, but instead to call if I had questions.
I was seeking information about the process, scope of representation, and fees before deciding whether to retain the firm.
After that exchange, I did not receive any further meaningful follow-up, and I chose not to pursue representation with the firm.

Do not use this law firm they have the worst customer service you can ask for. I faced retaliation for blowing the whistle on management. Management proposed my termination after I blew the whistle for federal law violations, and I have piles of undisputable damming evidence that prove it. I tried to hire this company, to file a whistle blower retaliation case with OSC, but they refused to speak with me at all about taking the offensive which was always my goal from the very beginning. However, they were only interested in speaking to me and representing me for the proposed termination response and not the representing me for an offensive/MSPB action against my employer.
I ended up filing a whistleblower retaliating case with the OSC myself. The OSC didn’t review anything and made an unfavorable decision.
Devadoss Law Firm continuously told me they will only talk to me about the proposed termination response that I retained them for. They continuously told me once it’s over they will discuss with me how to proceed from there. But that’s just it… They refused to, even after my agency dropped they action against me.
The Devadoss Law Firm wrote a response to my agency for the proposed termination. The agency dropped all charges stating the evidence does not support disciplinary action. After we received the agencies decision, the attorney refused to meet with me to discuss it and they flat out refused to talk to me about how to move forward and what that would intel. However, they did send me a new contract for $5,000 and said I could not speak to an attorney until I retained them. So I called, and spoke with the office manager Miranda Zepeda. She is less than pleasant. She explained that attorneys in their office would not give me a consult either paid or unpaid and that I had to sign a contract and send them $5,000 before they would talk to me about anything. There is no reason to sign a contract when they couldn’t care less if they can meet my needs. The weren’t even interested whether I had a case. They just wanted the contract, and I wanted a consult first. Didn’t even care if I had to pay for the consult.
**Title: Serious Concerns Regarding Handling of My Federal EEO Case**
I retained this firm to represent me in a federal EEO employment matter involving the Department of Veterans Affairs. Unfortunately, I developed serious concerns regarding the handling of my case.
One of my primary concerns involves sensitive medical and workers' compensation information. A psychiatric second-opinion evaluation that was prepared in connection with a separate workers' compensation matter was referenced and relied upon in a filing submitted in my EEO case. I have requested an explanation regarding how and why this information was used and whether its use was consistent with what I understood had been approved for submission.
I was also very concerned to discover that a response filed on my behalf identified the **U.S. Postal Service as the Agency**, even though my employer and the respondent in my case was the **Department of Veterans Affairs**. In my opinion, an error of that nature in an important federal employment filing raises legitimate concerns about the level of review the document received before it was submitted.
I have made multiple attempts through emails and telephone calls to obtain answers concerning these issues and to have my concerns reviewed by appropriate firm leadership. Communication became particularly important as I approached a deadline in my OFO appeal.
I am not posting confidential medical details or attempting to determine publicly whether these matters constitute legal malpractice or a violation of professional rules. Those questions are more appropriately addressed through the proper review processes. I am simply describing my experience and the concerns I have raised with the firm.
Based on my personal experience, I am disappointed with the representation and believe I am entitled to a clear explanation of how these matters occurred and what, if anything, can be done to address them.
