A proposed removal is not just a warning. It is the federal government formally proposing to terminate your employment. What you do next matters.

Federal employees often have limited time to respond, submit evidence, challenge the agency’s claims, and protect their careers, and professional reputation. Mistakes made during this stage can have long-term consequences.

Understanding your rights, deadlines, and response options is critical when facing a proposed removal action. Our team helps federal employees navigate these actions, as they can affect your career.

Learn more about the process and if you have received one, don't wait to contact us.
