Why Washington DC Employment Law Matters

Washington DC is the epicenter of federal employment in America, home to over 200,000 federal workers and countless contractors. As the seat of government, DC hosts the headquarters of virtually every federal agency, from the Department of Justice to the Department of Defense, creating a unique employment landscape unlike anywhere else in the nation.

This concentration of federal employment creates both opportunities and challenges. While federal jobs offer stability, benefits, and meaningful work, they also come with complex regulations, strict procedures, and unique legal protections that require specialized expertise to navigate effectively.

Why DC Matters to Morris E. Fischer, LLC: Our firm's deep understanding of federal employment law was forged in the crucible of DC's federal workplace. We've represented employees from every major agency, understanding not just the law, but the culture, politics, and practical realities of federal employment that make DC the heart of our practice.

Why We Call DC Home - Morris E. Fischer, LLC

Why We Call DC Home

Washington DC isn't just where we practice law—it's where we learned that federal employment law is fundamentally different. The federal workplace operates under its own rules, procedures, and culture that simply don't exist in the private sector.

In DC, we don't just represent federal employees—we understand them. We know the pressure of working under Congressional oversight, the complexity of federal HR systems, and the unique challenges that come with serving the public while navigating bureaucracy.

Our proximity to the Merit Systems Protection Board, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and the Office of Special Counsel means we're not just practicing federal employment law—we're helping to shape it. Every case we handle in DC contributes to the body of law that protects federal workers nationwide.

This is why Morris E. Fischer, LLC has made DC our foundation: because in the nation's capital, employment law isn't just a practice area—it's a mission to protect those who serve America.

★★★★★
I had a very complex case against a Maryland County school board. Morris Fischer was very aggressive. He filed his own motion for Summary Judgment, something that few lawyers for the employee do. He fought through all of the county's motions to dismiss my case on legal technicalities. After all of that, the county agreed to mediation where the case settled on confidential terms. I was very satisfied with my lawyer's performance in the case, along with his care and concern for my situation. His legal fees are very fair. I would highly recommend Morris Fischer and I give him a five star rating.

I was a federal employee accused of sexual harassment. I was facing a serious suspension. Morris E. Fischer, Esq. represented me and he successfully fought the suspension and at the end of the day I received no discipline for it and I got my attorney fees back. I would highly recommend Mr. Fischer's office to handle your employment case. He is very professional, knowledgeable and proficient.

Mr. Fischer has represented me in a very difficult and complicated whistleblower/retaliation case before the MSPB. I found Mr. Fischer to be extremely well versed in all aspects of the law, aggressive (on my behalf) and extremely passionate about my case. It was evident from day one that Mr. Fischer takes "ownership" of his cases and is willing to do whatever it takes (ethically and professionally) to secure the best possible outcome for his clients.

I owe a deep gratitude to Morris Fischer, Esq. and his staff. They represented me against DC government for almost four years. Throughout that time, they fought very hard and never gave up. Morris always kept me informed on my case developments and in his interactions with the national media reporters who inquired and wrote about my case. I would especially recommend this law firm if your case is complex, has high emotion and requires a fearless litigator.

Morris E. Fischer, Esq. was absolutely wonderful. He was quite knowledgeable in both auditing procedures and most of all, knowledge of the law. He really worked hard on my case, including nights and weekends. After flying out from Utah for the depositions of my supervisors that Morris obliterated, I knew I couldn't have picked a better attorney. This guy's a winner. He does what it takes for the client.
