“I recently retained attorney Cheri Cannon and have been extremely impressed with my experience so far. From my first contact, she was responsive, professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to really listen to my concerns. What impressed me most was her ability to quickly understand a complicated situation, explain my options clearly, and give me straightforward guidance about how to move forward. I never felt rushed or dismissed. I felt heard and confident that my concerns were being taken seriously. Finding an attorney you trust can be difficult, and I am very grateful to have found this firm. Based on my experience so far, I would highly recommend them and specifically attorney Cheri Cannon to anyone looking for knowledgeable, responsive, and experienced legal representation.” -J.P.

Unprecedented numbers of federal workers have retired under the Trump administration, further amplifying existing issues in retirees receiving their full pension payments in a timely manner. One retired EPA worker says he is only getting a fraction of his pension more than six months after his retirement officially began. Tully Rinckey PLLC Founding Partner Greg Rinckey spoke with WMAR-2 News about why similar complaints from retired federal employees has been a longtime complaint.

Federal worker not receiving full retirement? You're not alone

"The government should be taking care of them in their retirement, and this is kind of like a kick in the butt on the way out."
