The federal employee retirement application process is a maze of opportunities to make a mistake which could cost you your retirement. Don’t navigate this process alone. I am so glad I had the employees of Pines Federal along side me during this difficult and trying time. Thanks to them we navigated the maze with ease and my packet was approved in five weeks. Do yourself a huge favor and let the knowledgeable employees of Pines Federal navigate this maze with you. You won’t be sorry that you did but you could well be sorry if you didn’t.

“I applied for Medical Disability from OPM and was denied. I found the Eric Pines Law firm to hep me with my appeal through an Internet search. Eric and Scott listened to me and help me get approved. Eric also represented me when the organization I was working for tried to terminate my employment while I was waiting for approval from OPM. I’m so glad he was by my side during the hearing. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!”

Thanks to Eric Pines and his team I was able to win my worker’s compensation case that had been ongoing for 3 years prior then Eric took over.. He also helped me to get in contact with the right doctors and I ended up winning a large settlement as well. He and his team are very professional and they truly care about you and your situation. I highly recommend you at least consult with him. He is very honest and he will do his very best to help you in your decision making. 2 thumbs up!

Pines Federal Review For 9 years I tried on my own to get my years of Military Service credited to my civilian Federal Service for retirement, to no avail. I contacted five different Government agencies and all kept pointing fingers back and forth to the other for my information. After contacting Pines Federal and speaking with Mr. Eric Pines we sent a letter to OPM asking for reconsideration. After only two months I heard back from them and they said they were sending the matter to another Branch at OPM. After only one month we received a reply stating that they would allow me to buy back my time. After discussing the issue with Mr. Pines we decided that this would be my best alternative. I have paid back for more than six years of Active Duty and am expecting a payback check of over $40,000.00 and an increase of $400.00-$500.00 per month in my retirement annuity. My experience with Pines Federal has been a joy and pleasure and I would highly recommend this firm to anyone dealing with issues related to the Federal Government. Bravo Zulu, Pines Federal!!!

Mr. Pines is a consummate professional! I contacted him about my federal disability retirement application and he kindly offered me a number of options. We worked together throughout the entire application process and my claim was approved promptly and without difficulty. Mr. Pines always treated me with respect and kindness and you can tell he is a deeply empathetic person. He was always prompt in responding to my emails or phone calls and essentially held my hand through the entire process. I would strongly recommend him to any person seeking federal disability retirement.

Mr Pines answered quickly. I am not a Federal Employee, so was not able to represent me. He did send me a referral to another lawyer.

Mr Pines was very important during a probation hearing that would determine my fate at my present work position. he quickly learned the case issues and oriented me on what were the pertinent facts to discuss at the hearing. he is smart and understanding and prepped me during the troubling situation. Thank you

I highly recommend Pines Federal Law Firm. Attorney Eric Pines is one of Houston’s best Labor Law Attorneys. Attorney Pines represented me during my complex accommodation and equal employment opportunity case. He was very patient, extremely thorough, and knowledgeable of pertinent labor laws and practices. I was very pleased with how he kept me informed of the case throughout the entire process. I received a response to all of my questions, phone calls and emails by close of business during the duration of my case. His staff and Partners are exceptionally skilled and proficient. I am very satisfied with his services and the results that he achieved for my case. I definitely recommend Attorney Eric Pines as your Labor Law Attorney. He gets the job done!!

Very dedicated team! I highly recommend to any federal employee. Pines Federal is very knowledgeable and helped me resolve an employment issue which resulted in an outcome I couldn't have achieved otherwise. I'm so happy I hired them to represent me!
