Standing Fearlessly Against Federal Overreach
When the awesome power of the federal government turns against its own employees, contractors, or citizens in violation of federal law or the U.S. Constitution, Treanor Devlin Brown stands ready to fight. As former federal prosecutors who proudly represented our Country, we are just as prepared to bring cases against the government when it does not act as the law requires.
Defending Federal Employees and Contractors
We represent federal employees and contractors whose careers and livelihoods have been upended through:
- Terminations without individualized performance assessment
- Reclassifications that strip hard-earned civil service protections
- Contract cancellations without proper justification or procedure
- Retaliatory actions against whistleblowers or dissenting voices
- Politically-motivated removals disguised as performance issues
When government agencies use their investigative powers to target former employees or contractors based on past work, we provide aggressive defense services:
- Challenging improper investigations that lack factual or legal basis
- Defending against arbitrary enforcement actions
- Protecting professional reputations from unfair smears
- Safeguarding security clearances and professional credentials
- Navigating complex administrative and legal proceedings
A Litigation Approach Built on Prosecutorial Experience
Our founding partners’ extensive experience as federal prosecutors provides a decisive advantage when litigating against government entities:
- Strategic Insight: We understand government decision-making processes, legal vulnerabilities, and pressure points that others miss.
- Procedural Mastery: We navigate the complex web of administrative remedies, knowing when to exhaust them and when to bypass them.
- Relationship Capital: Our credibility with government decision-makers allows for constructive dialogue when appropriate.
- Trial Readiness: Our extensive courtroom experience means we prepare every case as if it will go to trial, creating leverage in negotiations.
Standing on Principle, Not Politics
We take cases based on legal merit, not political affiliation or ideology. Any lawyer whose primary motivation is a political goal is – by definition – putting clients second. We don’t care about your political beliefs. We don’t care about whether your case helps or hurts on some hot button political issue. We care about you, whether your rights have been violated, and how to pursue resource through every avenue our judicial system provides.
A Different Kind of Government Litigation Practice
While some firms shy away from government litigation, we bring prosecutorial intensity and the strategic advantage our boutique affords.
- We’re a litigation shop. We don’t represent clients in corporate transactions where pleasing U.S. political officials is important, and we’re not subject to the conflicts that firms who do such work face.
- We’re lean. We can pursue cases efficiently, without the cost structure and overhead larger law firms impose.
- We’re flexible. When hourly billing is a challenge, we’ll consider flat fees and contingency fee arrangements, and where possible we’re pursue claims under statutes that require the government to pay our fees if we are successful.
When facing the vast resources and power of the federal government, you need counsel with the experience, courage, and strategic vision to stand firm. Treanor Devlin Brown brings the firepower and fearlessness required.
