We’ve been noticing a significant uptick in the number of persons contacting us looking for representation relating to internal grievance proceedings, administrative law proceedings and internal appeals, primarily for government employees but also for some private employees. Sometimes, as with employees of the Board of Education or public universities, these hearings may be held internally, and sometimes, as with Maryland state agencies, these hearings may be held at the Office of Administrative Hearings in Hunt Valley, Maryland. It is important to keep in mind that these hearings tend to be held on a fairly short time frame, involving an intense amount of work preparing for the hearing, so if you need an attorney for such a hearing, please contact us as soon as possible before the hearing — waiting for the last minute is not wise!
