Client Testimonials

As an employee involved in an EEO case, I needed an attorney that was specialized in a matter such as mine. Mr. Pekich was that attorney. Joe was extremely knowledgeable in all matters related to federal workplace EEO's. From the very beginning of my case, Mr. Pekich had a plan of how we were going to not only tackle the case, but a plan for how we were going to stop the harassment that was occurring. It felt not only great to have an expert in my corner, but an expert that cared about me as a person. It is very obvious that Mr. Pekich cares for his clients and cares about their wellbeing during the entire process from start to finish. If you are finding yourself in a legal matter and you need help, Mr. Pekich is that person. He will be there for you when you need him the most. He was for me.

Mike Mortenson

Do you know how difficult it is to find an attorney for a federal EEOC case? I was SUPER stressed out and came across Mr. Pekich’s name on google and am SO grateful that I did! From the start HE ACTUALLY CALLED ME! Not an answering service, or a secretary fishing for a “consultation fee” and screening the calls! He took the time to actually LISTEN and agreed to take my case! I was an anxious wreck and Mr. Pekich explained and walked me through the process every step of the way . I felt there was no chance taking on the Department of Veterans Affairs and actually being successful. Well, I’m so happy I was wrong and Mr. Pekich made sure that I was compensated for what I endured. I could write all day, but just know he is truly an attorney of his word, and a shark! Haha! Mr. Pekich I’ve said this many times but THANK YOU so much from the bottom of my heart. :-)

Voncile Williams

Joe was my lawyer for an EEOC discrimination case against my former employer on a contingency basis. Joe is honest, realistic, and to the point which is essential in a lawyer. We were able to settle through a mediation and even the settlement agreement is worded in a way that is favorable to me, the complainant. Thanks Joe!

Mr. Pekich was very thorough during the investigation process of my EEOC case. During the hearing phase, he was aggressive during his line of questioning the agency witnesses. He's a very good attorney. I would highly recommend him and his team.

Reha Nisha

I highly recommend this attorney for anyone seeking knowledgeable, professional, and compassionate legal representation. From our first consultation through the resolution of my case, they were responsive, thorough, and always took the time explaining each step of the process in a way that was easy to understand. Their attention to detail, strong communication skills, and dedication to achieving the best possible outcome gave me confidence during very stressful time. I always felt that my concerns were heard and that my case was a priority. What stood out most was their integrity and genuine commitment to their clients. They were honest about expectations, kept me informed throughout the process, and worked diligently in my behalf.

Gintare Puckett

I highly recommend Pekich Law Firm. After interviewing many federal employment attorneys, I chose Pekich Law Firm because of Joe's more pro-active, strategic and open-minded approach to my individual case. Joe was adaptable, supportive and open to a less conventional approach, which has led to positive results for me. There is way too much wrongdoing in the federal government - whistleblowers and honest federal employees deserve better treatment. When the systems don't work and managers are abusive, you need a great federal employment law firm....like Pekich Law Firm.
