The Law Firm of John P. Mahoney

If you are a federal employee but not on the GS pay scale, they will say that they are interested in taking your case, waste 2 weeks to "get back to you" and then only after following up will they say, "Oh sorry we only take cases with GS pay scale." They knew that this was not a GS pay scale employer! CLOWNS!

I'm a current client of Mahoney and I can say without doubt feel he has committed malpractice and frund in my case and I filed a complaint against him with the Florida Bar Association.

I was quite surprised when my initial consultation was conducted by Mr. Mahoney himself rather than a supporting attorney at his firm. He is clearly exceptionally well versed in federal employment law and quickly understood the basic elements of my specific EEO case. He clearly articulated alternatives and possible outcomes and explained the process and associated fees for obtaining his firm as formal counsel to represent me. I did not take this as being focused on money, but rather a good consideration of transparency for clients. He was personable, patient and honest in addressing expectations. Although we are at the beginning of the process Mr. Mahoney gave me confidence that my interests will be well served by him and his proven staff.

$500 consultation fee for 15 mins on the phone with him. Told me general info on the disability retirement process that's available online, didn't even ask to look at my records. I could tell he was only interested in litigation and basically said I would be on my own during the application stage. I need someone to help me get the application approved, not interested in suing which can take years. Also could hear him doing work while he was talking to me which shows disinterest. Must be easy money to him.

Mr. Mahoney was recommended by one of his previous clients, who had a successful outcome. My initial consultation with him far exceeded my expectations. When you are experiencing distressful bureaucratic situations, it is difficult to think clearly and procedurally. Mr. Mahoney’s initial consultation (in non-legal jargon) offered an incredible opportunity to unpack and uncomplicate the legal process while exploring actionable options for further consideration.

I am experiencing escalating discrimination at work, and it has been affecting my health and well being. Having never experienced anything like this before in my life, I had no idea how to handle it, and the feeling of going it alone was very daunting. I reached out to a number of law firms, and consulted with an attorney in a different firm who just said, "file an EEO complaint," and did not seem in the least bit interested in taking on my case. I then scheduled a consultation with John Mahoney, and he was very responsive. He listened carefully as I laid out my situation, provided me an intial assessment of my case, and reassured me that I have a lot of protections in place under Federal law and policy. He described the way ahead clearly. I cannot describe the feeling of relief I have knowing that I have experienced and knowledgeble counsel to help me navigate the process, that I have representation, and that I am no longer all alone in fighting an extremely stressful and emotionally draining situation. I want the discrimination to stop, and the situation to be resolved fairly and quickly, and John Mahoney gives me every confidence that outcome will occur.

Conversation was immediately short, met with immense irritable mannerisms, and unprofessional. Arriving back from a VA appointment in which I responded with a call back within the given 15 minute window only to be met with the response; "no wonder your were terminated". I missed our initial consultation as my phone blocked the number and sent it to voicemail as I was expecting a return call from the number I called on the website; my bad; but I'm good. I'm sure the firm has served other clients in a better capacity in which I don't want to negate their efforts and accomplishments; as the only focal point of my conversation rotated around fees and "pounding sand" without a thorough consultation towards a resolution in regards to my circumstance; as if there was no winning strategy developed as the barrier was already put up from the second call back attempt. It just wasn't for me. No harsh feelings though, just my personal experience.
