Do I Need An Attorney

to represent me in filing a grievance or appeal?

You should consider hiring an attorney if:

•  You have been charged with a violation of a regulation or the law.
•  The situation could result in you being terminated from your job.
•  The situation has resulted in a financial loss that would exceed the cost of hiring an attorney.
•  You do not feel comfortable defending yourself in front of your management or in front of the state personnel board.
•  If the case is likely to end up in court.
•  The benefits of winning the case outweigh the cost of hiring an attorney and the chance that you may lose anyway.
