A force to be reckoned with

Adam’s gentle appearance and mannerisms belie his true strength. He is a force to be reckoned with in the courtroom.

His evaluation was 100% correct.

Mr. R. Scott Oswald, Mr. Nick Woodfield, and the Employment Law Group successfully represented me in a five year whistleblower/employment case against my employer, a U.S. Government Agency. Attorneys are like physicians in that when you need a specialist, you want the best. The ELG may be expensive, but I have found that you get what you pay for when it comes to representation. Our case took five years to litigate against the Agency and the Merit Systems Protection Board. Ultimately, my case went before the U.S. Federal Circuit Court of Appeals and we won a precedent setting decision. Scott reviewed my case initially. He told me, at the time, “This case is going to be difficult, but we can win it….Are you ready to go all the way?” His evaluation was 100% correct. My agency (and the MSPB) fought us every step of the way, but thanks to Scott, Nick, and the ELG, we prevailed. When I first arrived at the ELG, I was beaten down and despondent. Scott…and the ELG team listened to my story, picked out the relevant issues, developed an action plan, and gave me the strength to keep fighting. I’m really indebted to them for saving my job and giving me my life back. I would recommend them without hesitation.

Adam was responsive

Adam was responsive, understood the complexities of our case, and ultimately understood my position and put it forth effectively.

All TELG Principal Attorneys on Lawdragon Top 500 List for Third Year in a Row

WASHINGTON, D.C. (August 8, 2025) — Legal media company Lawdragon has named every principal attorney at The Employment Law Group® law firm to one of their top lists: “500 Leading Civil Rights & Plaintiff Employment Lawyers.” This is the third year in a row that all seven TELG principal attorneys are honored.

Lawdragon’s well-known guides are extensively researched, taking into consideration factors such as: impact on their practice areas, recent case victories, leadership both within the firm and in legal organizations, and more.

Notably, Lawdragon primarily features lawyers who have been practicing for at least 10 years “with extremely rare exceptions,” according to their website. TELG principals Janel Quinn and Anita Mazumdar Chambers are both exceptions as they had only been barred for seven years when they were first named to the employment law list.

Since the list’s inception in 2018, at least one TELG principal has been honored by Lawdragon. Since 2023, the list has included all TELG principal attorneys:

All principals are recognized for their work regarding employee rights and whistleblower protections.

According to Lawdragon’s website, attorneys on their employment law list are selected because they “bring justice to individuals (or groups of them) for harm they have suffered in the fundamental right to work and enjoy a peaceable existence where they are respected and treated fairly.”

I appreciate his hard work and support

Scott Oswald handled two cases for me and I cannot say enough about how much I appreciate his hard work and support. I lost the first case due to a technicality that Scott and his team had warned me about prior to taking the case but he did not let that deter him. He pressed on at my request and won the second case with pride. All through the preparation and investigation into the facts of the case, Scott maintained the utmost of professionalism. He exhibited an impressive knowledge base as he won my case against a large pharmaceutical company, and his actions spoke volumes about his character when he helped me arrange the financial support to see the case through to completion. Since my case Scott has stayed in touch and provided additional help when needed. I give Scott Oswald an overall excellent rating.
