Marc was incredibly helpful from our first conversation; he was caring and detail-oriented, immediately leaping into action to help resolve my issue. He was also incredibly responsive and so knowledgeable regarding the federal employment system. His help was invaluable and I could not recommend him more highly.

I was facing a removal from my Government Position and Marc was extremely helpful in pointing outs areas that I should address in my response. Thanks to his help in crafting my response we had a successful outcome.

I hired Mr. Marc Smith for OPM waiver for failure to register with selective service system on 31, December 2016. It was the best decision I have ever made for something. Mr. Marc has the best knowledge and expertise on this subject as an attorney. I got OPM waiver for SSS recently. I wish him the best and would like to recommend him for everybody else who are in the similar situation.

I am very fortunate to know Mr. Smith who helped me to have OPM ruled in favor of my federal employment eligibility regarding my status on failure to register with the Selective Service. Mr. Smith is a very honest and professional attorney, he told me what he could do and what he could not do as an attorney in initial consultation, a honest opinion. He helped me to draft a letter to OPM and that result in the OPM ruled in favor of my Federal employment. I appreciated it.

I retained the services of Marc Smith to help me with a Selective Service registration issue. I have been a Federal employee for 15 years, and it was shocking to me when I was notified there was no record of my registration. My status as a Federal employee was in jeopardy. It was an incredibly stressful time for me. Marc is an excellent attorney and provided outstanding legal services. Marc provided clear guidance and was always very responsive to my phone calls and emails. He quickly put together my package for OPM in just a matter of days, and I was successful. I can’t thank Marc enough, and highly recommend Marc to anyone that is in need of legal services for employment issues.

I have been an employee of Federal Government agency over 17 years. Recently was notified by my HR office that there's no record of my Selective Service Registrations. It was most shocking news. I felt devastated and hopeless and lost 20 lbs in last 3 months. After my substantial research I figured and decided that I needed professional help. I found Marc's website and his case samples for SSS cases. Marc's the only lawyer specialized in this field. I immediately called Marc and after a few phone calls and e-mails my package was completed and ready. It took OPM less than a month approved my case. I probably will gain 20 lbs back now/or maybe not. I am a happy old fed worker. Thank you Marc. I don't think I could have gotten same decision without you.

I retained the services of Mr. Marc Smith when seeking a determination from OPM regarding my eligibility to be employed by the federal government. Marc was a complete professional through the entire process, very easy to work with and prompt with communication. He diligently responded to all my phone calls and emails. Marks specialized experience was invaluable and he was quickly able to put together a declaration for me to send to OPM. I would highly recommend Marc to anyone who needs an employment/labor attorney.

Retaining Marc Smith for my employment discrimination case was a very good decision for me. I was a contract employee terminated as a result of disclosing a medical condition. After discussing my situation with Marc, he helped me understand my rights, the legal recourses available, and chances of success. While working with Marc, I found his firm to be very responsive. I was routinely provided with updates and he worked to ensure that I received a positive outcome for both the immediate and long term. I highly recommend Marc Smith for his professionalism, knowledge, and responsiveness.

Although I live on the west coast, I hired Marc Smith because he seemed to have a high level of expertise dealing with federal agencies. It was very easy to work with him remotely. He was clear and focused about following a specific strategy to deal with my exact issue...basically saying "do this right the first time." My case was successful; I was extremely happy with the result. Mr Smith not only did a great job technically, but he was very kind & understanding along the way, helping me through a stressful situation. And his rates were more than fair. I would not hesitate to hire Marc again, and I highly recommend him.
