Pines Federal Employment Attorneys

Fantastic experience, Courtney helped me file for benefits and was shocked at how kind she was and how easy she made this complicated process. I’d highly recommend Pine Federal Law firm to anyone, and particularly Courtney Bolton. Thanks again all!

The firm did a great job in handling my case. I would recommend them to everyone.

I applied for Social Security Disability in December of 2025 and despite my life threatening disease my application stayed in limbo for over two months without progress. I decided to retain the services of Pines Federal and within one week’s time, my application went from being in limbo to being fully approved. It was the relentless dedication to my case by Mr. Asher Pines and Ms. Courtney Bolton that got me approved during this most difficult time in my life. Their dedication to my case, their professional demeanor, and their subject matter expertise is what ultimately got me approved. They have my most sincere gratitude and confidence and I HIGHLY recommend this firm in addressing both Federal Employee Disability as well as Social Security Disability. Forever grateful and thank you.

Working with Courtney Bolton was amazing. She answered every question we had in a way we could understand. She kept us updated on everything. We highly recommend working with her if you have any dealings with Social Security. Five stars all the way!

Very disappointing! From the very start the attorney seemed uninterested, always too busy, had several different paralegals schedule calls and never showed up for the calls, obviously they cannot keep paralegals as it seems like they changed weekly. The attorney missed important deadlines with MSPB such as submitting discovery and ultimately dropped the appeal without consent from the plaintiff. I had to initiate contact after the govt shutdown , they are a poor excuse for a federal employment law firm. Take my advise and go elsewhere !!!

Eric was nice, personable and knowledgeable. Nice meeting you deff recommend him!

Everyone at Pines Federal was fantastic, they’re good at getting back to you and answering any questions you have, they explained the process and what to expect, and they fought for me from day one. I wouldn’t have been able to do this without all their hard work and dedication and knowledge…Thank you to everyone who helped with my case.

I had an outstanding experience with Pines Federal and cannot recommend them highly enough. From the very beginning, the entire team was professional, knowledgeable, and reassuring during what could have been an overwhelming process. Charles Wiesel, Paralegal and OPM Specialist, was truly exceptional—he was incredibly responsive at all hours, consistently answered my questions promptly, and made me feel completely at ease and confident throughout my disability retirement case. I also worked with other Pines departments related to OWCP and SSDI, and every interaction was seamless and supportive. Courtney Bolton, SSDI Supervisor, along with the rest of the staff, was extremely helpful in guiding me through each step and explaining the different processes clearly and patiently. Thanks to their expertise, organization, and dedication, I was approved on my first try. Pines Federal delivers exactly what they promise: advocacy, clarity, and results.

They assisted in successfulness with my case. The only issue I encountered was timely responses with status updates.

I am truly grateful to Charles Wiesel for all of his help navigating the application process! He was patient and caring which was vital when I was confused, dealing with new symptoms, lots of pain, and personal challenges.

I was recently represented by Amanda Moreno at Pines Federal who successfully won my case. It took a little bit longer than expected but that was mostly due to the government shutdown. I initially attempted to represent myself but was unsuccessful. Amanda did what I couldn’t do. I am very thankful that I chose to use them for my case. Thank you again Pines Federal!

Working with Pines Federal on my Social Security Disability application was an absolute blessing. From day one, they didn’t just communicate clearly—they made me feel supported and never alone in the process. They took the time to explain every step in a way that eased my anxiety and helped me truly understand what was happening. Their tools made completing any forms simple, and whenever I had a question or concern, they followed up quickly. What meant the most was how knowledgeable and genuinely caring they were. I could feel that they were truly invested in helping me, and that gave me so much peace of mind during a very uncertain time. Because of their guidance and dedication, my SSDI application was approved, and I am deeply grateful for everything they did to help me through this journey.

I want to say Pines Federal and Charles Wiesel were awesome during my OPM Disability Case. Charles quickly worked on my behalf. He provided a checklist of everything I needed to complete and provide back to him so he could process my claim. My doctors were impressed with the letters he provided on my behalf for them to sign and forward to him for the package. I was approved in 9 weeks once the package was sent to OPM. Thank you and God Bless

The process for my husband to get SSDI was scary with such negative responses from everyone we spoke to. NOT the case with Pine Federal, Courtney was amazing, the process was painless and faster than we ever imagined. I recommend them to anyone who has to deal with the Federal Government for disability!!!! Mike and Jackie Johnston

I had to undergo emergent surgery in 2021 but the outcome wasn't what me and my family expected. After years of rehab my employer had to let me go in 2025 due to the physical restrictions of my lifetime permanent disability I incurred as a result of my surgery. I went from a top performer to now unemployed. My family and I were at a lost and didn't know how to make up for my lost income. That's when I searched on line looking for only best reviews on a law firm to help me with my situation. Thank God I found Pines Federal! From my first phone call to them and throughout the process of securing my disability retirement my experience with working with them was second to none. Very professional staff and always kept us informed!

This was the best experience! Just took 1 call and I was kept up to date on everything. I would highly recommend them .

I worked with Nicole and it was the smoothest process possible. She always responded, did meticulous work in developing my package, and was always available. I was accepted with 4 months of submission with no issues.

I contacted the Pines Federal Employment Attorneys services (Attorney Ari Rosen) during a very difficult time with filing for disability from my government employer and was overwhelmed with stress. From day one, they explained the entire process in terms I could easily understand and kept me informed every step of the way. They fought hard for my case and thanks to their expertise, we achieved an outcome that exceeded my expectations on the first attempt. I truly felt they cared about me as a person, not just a case number. I cannot recommend Attorney Rosen and his team enough! They were the greatest!

I had All my application and paperwork in order and I was ready to submit it, but wanted to have the peace of mind and try to get it approved from the first try. Michelle was assigned to my case. She is very detailed, a great listener, dedicated, and responded timely to my inquiries. My case was approved in less than three months from the time of submission. My only observation was that you don't get to speak with the lawyer not even once. As long as the team was qualified and efficient to manage my retirement case, I have no regrets!
