$500 consultation fee for 15 mins on the phone with him. Told me general info on the disability retirement process that's available online, didn't even ask to look at my records. I could tell he was only interested in litigation and basically said I would be on my own during the application stage. I need someone to help me get the application approved, not interested in suing which can take years. Also could hear him doing work while he was talking to me which shows disinterest. Must be easy money to him.

Never been screwed like this before from a so called attorney!! Un believable!! Avoid like the plague! This man has stole more than 17k from me and did absolutely nothing in my case! I have already accomplished more from a different law firm in 20 days than this firm did in over 6 months!

Email I received from these uncaring people without any type of fact specific conversation or consultation. “We generally require a $79,500 initial fee advance to take on any new federal employee court civil action, which equates to a 100-hour estimate at my current DOJ-set $795/hr. rate, and then a monthly supplemental fee advance payment of $15,900 each month thereafter until the case is completed. USDC cases can cost $250,000 or so in atorneys’ fees to completion. We always seek to have the agency reimburse your atorneys fees as part of any settlement agreement or favorable ruling before the district court. If you are interested in having me represent you, email me back and let me know. I will the email you a proposed fee agreement and Power of Attorney form covering our representation of you.” If I lost my job due to discrimination who has 100k to pay for an attorney? AmeriKKKa

I see my review has mysteriously fallen off. I will never forget the abusive manner in which Mr. Mahoney handled my federal employment case! As a matter of fact, it was my complaint to the DC Bar regarding Mr. Mahoney’s unethical behavior, which caused him being disciplined in 2016. John, as you told me once to “move on with my life”, which I have done. However, I do believe that people should be properly forewarned and not have your misdeeds buried. Regardless of all the awards you tout, you intentionally caused me and my case harm. I can forgive but will never forget.

I'm a current client of Mahoney and I can say without doubt feel he has committed malpractice and frund in my case and I filed a complaint against him with the Florida Bar Association.

I contacted this law group about an employment law issue and received a response saying they don't do workers comp. When I replied that this was an employment issue they just ignored me. They clearly don't understand issues in todays federal employment environment and if they are this non-responsive would not be effective counsel

Mr. Mahoney was recommended by one of his previous clients, who had a successful outcome. My initial consultation with him far exceeded my expectations. When you are experiencing distressful bureaucratic situations, it is difficult to think clearly and procedurally. Mr. Mahoney’s initial consultation (in non-legal jargon) offered an incredible opportunity to unpack and uncomplicate the legal process while exploring actionable options for further consideration.

I was quite surprised when my initial consultation was conducted by Mr. Mahoney himself rather than a supporting attorney at his firm. He is clearly exceptionally well versed in federal employment law and quickly understood the basic elements of my specific EEO case. He clearly articulated alternatives and possible outcomes and explained the process and associated fees for obtaining his firm as formal counsel to represent me. I did not take this as being focused on money, but rather a good consideration of transparency for clients. He was personable, patient and honest in addressing expectations. Although we are at the beginning of the process Mr. Mahoney gave me confidence that my interests will be well served by him and his proven staff.

During the initial consultation Mr Mahoney explained everything to me about things that could happen and what I should expect. He was very knowledgeable. I retained them to represent me. Praying for a good outcome.

Conversation was immediately short, met with immense irritable mannerisms, and unprofessional. Arriving back from a VA appointment in which I responded with a call back within the given 15 minute window only to be met with the response; "no wonder your were terminated". I missed our initial consultation as my phone blocked the number and sent it to voicemail as I was expecting a return call from the number I called on the website; my bad; but I'm good. I'm sure the firm has served other clients in a better capacity in which I don't want to negate their efforts and accomplishments; as the only focal point of my conversation rotated around fees and "pounding sand" without a thorough consultation towards a resolution in regards to my circumstance; as if there was no winning strategy developed as the barrier was already put up from the second call back attempt. It just wasn't for me. No harsh feelings though, just my personal experience.

I am in Week 2 of working with Ms. Lolotai and Mr. Mahoney. So far the process has been a little overwhelming, but they are phenomenal with calming my nerves and anxiousness. I definitely made the right call when calling for their assistance! I will update with another review when my process is complete.

Excellent law firm! Pricey, but you get what you pay for. I was very impressed with Lynn Mahoney who was the attorney assigned to me. She was very professional, responsive, and a caring individual, which is what I needed going through hell with my employer.
