Find your situation

We work with people whose careers, rights, and reputations are at stake in federal and military systems. Select the situation that most closely describes yours.

Facing Military Justice

Service Members and Veterans

If you are under investigation, facing a court-martial, dealing with a discharge characterization, or pursuing an appeal of a military conviction, we represent service members at every stage of the military justice process. We have served inside that system, and we understand how it works.

Military Justice and Courts-Martial

Your Federal Career Is Under Threat

Federal Employees

If you have received a notice of proposed removal, a proposed suspension, or been told that your security clearance is under review, the timeline ahead of you matters. Federal employment proceedings move according to specific rules, and early action is important. We have worked inside federal agencies, and we know how these processes unfold from both sides.

Federal Employment Defense

Your Employer Is Not Honoring Your Military Service

Reservists and Guard Members

Federal law requires civilian employers to protect the jobs and benefits of employees who serve in the military. If your employer has denied your reemployment, reduced your pay or benefits, or created obstacles because of your service obligations, you may have a claim under USERRA. These cases are what we do.

We Know These Systems From the Inside

Most people who contact Maher Legal Services arrive during moments when the institutions they are dealing with feel closed and difficult to read from the outside. Federal agencies, military commands, and employment systems involving military service all operate according to internal processes that are not always visible to those they affect.

Our attorneys have served inside the military and federal institutions where your case will be decided. We know how those systems work, and we know how to navigate them on your behalf.
