At The Griffin Law Firm, it's our mission to protect the rights and privileges of federal employees and to advocate on their behalf.
If you are a federal employee whose rights have been violated, call (888) 707-4282 or message us. Our Norfolk federal employment attorneys will review your case and let you know how we can help you pursue justice.

Understanding EEO Claims for Norfolk Federal Employees
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission regulates all issues related to equal employment. Its primary tasks include maintaining equal access to employment opportunities, enforcing civil rights laws in federal workplaces, and investigating and mediating claims of discrimination, harassment, and retaliation.
Federal Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) claims are subject to complex and sometimes lengthy review and investigation processes. After the investigation, you can either permit the EEOC to make a decision based on their findings or submit a written request for an EEOC hearing before an Administrative Judge. If you disagree with the decision made by the EEOC, you can file an appeal through the EEOC or challenge it in federal court.
Navigating MSPB and Whistleblower Protections in Norfolk
It’s the responsibility of the Merit System Protection Board to ensure lawful and fair treatment in federal workplaces and to prevent abusive and partisan practices that could otherwise lead to an ineffective federal workforce. They’re best known for processing and hearing claims of workplace misconduct and wrongful punishment, as well as for reviewing certain Office of Personnel Management (OPM) actions. Examples of wrongful punishment are unfair demotions, furloughs, terminations, or other disciplinary actions that are unlawfully motivated, issued without having gone through the proper procedures, or that don’t correspond to the employee’s alleged wrongdoing. They also handle appeals filed under the Whistleblower Protection Act.
Contact Norfolk Federal Employment Lawyers for Legal Representation
Although you aren’t required to obtain an attorney to pursue EEO claims or MSPB cases, a good federal employment lawyer will be familiar with the procedures that regulate these processes and can help you navigate them.

"Attorney Griffin argued with determination and commitment"
The best attorney anyone could have, without a doubt, is Marshall Griffin. He was invaluable during an extremely difficult time when our son was accused of a wrongful charge. We didn’t know what to do or who to turn to while dealing with legalities, military codes, and the overwhelming emotions of knowing our son had been charged with something very serious. Marshall made himself available for all of our needs; most importantly our son’s needs. He worked relentlessly while leading an incredible team to prove innocence. Faith in the justicial system and belief that a wrongful charge would not define a person are two of the many core values of Marshall that make him an exceptional person. Attorney Griffin argued with determination and commitment that we will be eternally grateful for.- Linda -

CDR Griffin is a consummate professional and a rare gem in the sometimes shady and “who you know” world of law. His integrity and keen ability to look at all the facts and sort through what is or is not relevant sets him above others. His dedication to his faith, family and profession is evident in all aspects of his life enabling him to be the best person to have on your side.
