Postal Service & Federal Government

If you have a dispute with the U.S. Postal Service or the federal government, you want an attorney who can handle your claims efficiently and effectively. This takes knowledge and experience that comes with working for and litigating against the federal government. 

Wheeler Upham is experienced in federal sector employment law, which has unique rules and deadlines.  We represent postal and federal employees with discrimination claims, workers’ compensation claims, whistleblower retaliation claims, and disability retirement applications nationwide.   Wheeler Upham defends federal employees across the nation before the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB) and other government agencies who have been removed or disciplined.  We have represented veterans before the MSPB who are appealing the denial of the veterans' preference rights under the Veterans Employment Opportunity Act (VEOA) and the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA).  Our clients have come from a wide variety of agencies, including the U.S. Department of Interior, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), the U.S. Department of the Navy, and the U.S. Postal Service.

Wheeler Upham provides postal contractors and lessors with contract and litigation support.  We assist contractors with the presentment of claims under the Contract Disputes Act (CDA) through litigation before the Postal Service Board of Contract Appeals. 

Wheeler Upham provides support to mailers who have been assessed a revenue deficiency by the U.S. Postal Service.
