How It Works
Guidance that fits
your situation.
We don't sell packages or lock you into a rigid program. Every federal employee's situation is different — so we start with a conversation and go from there.
It starts with a conversation.
We won't know what you need until we talk. That's by design. Our approach is flexible because your situation is unique — and you deserve guidance that reflects that.
We Listen
You tell us what's going on — your situation, your concerns, your questions. We assess where you stand and what your realistic options are.
We Guide
Based on your specific circumstances, we provide strategic direction — what matters, what doesn't, and what to do next. No one-size-fits-all advice.
You Decide
You leave with clarity and confidence. Whether you need ongoing guidance or a single consultation — that's entirely up to you.
Areas of Expertise
What we can help with.
Depending on where you are in the process, our guidance may cover any combination of the following. We'll determine what's relevant during your consultation.
Reasonable Accommodation Strategy
Understanding your rights, the interactive process, and how to document everything properly — whether you're just starting or mid-process.
Documentation & Evidentiary Guidance
What OPM actually evaluates, how to connect your medical condition to your job duties, and where most people's records fall short.
Process Navigation & Compliance
Understanding agency obligations, reassignment rules, and the timeline of events that shape your case — so nothing catches you off guard.
Post-Approval Transition
If you've already been approved, we can help you understand OPM earnings limits, SSDI coordination, and benefit continuation rules.
Important: Not every client needs help with all of these areas. Some people need a single strategic consultation. Others benefit from ongoing guidance over several months. We'll figure out what makes sense for you — together.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the questions we hear most from federal employees considering a consultation.
What exactly do you do?
We provide strategic consulting for federal employees navigating disability-related transitions. That might mean helping you understand the RA process, assessing your documentation, identifying gaps in your case, or simply answering questions about how the system works. Every engagement is different because every situation is different.
Are you a law firm?
No. The Federal Disability Review is a consulting practice, not a law firm. We do not provide legal advice, file applications, or represent clients before any agency. When legal action is needed, we connect you with a vetted disability retirement attorney.
Do you sell packages or fixed programs?
No. We don't believe in selling people services they may not need. We start with a conversation, assess your situation, and provide guidance tailored to where you actually are. Some clients need a single consultation; others benefit from ongoing support. That's entirely up to you.
How long does the process take?
It depends entirely on your situation. Some people get the clarity they need in one conversation. Others work with us over several months as their situation evolves. We'll give you a realistic picture during your initial consultation.
Do I need a diagnosis to reach out?
No. You need a medical condition that's affecting your ability to work — but you don't need a specific diagnosis to start the conversation. We'll help you assess whether your situation warrants further action.
What if I've already started the RA process?
That's fine. Many people come to us mid-process when they realize they need strategic guidance. We'll assess where you are, identify any gaps, and help you understand what to do next.
How do I know if this is right for me?
Request a consultation. We'll listen to your situation, give you an honest assessment, and let you know whether we can help — no pressure, no obligation. If we're not the right fit, we'll tell you.
Ready to get some clarity?
No pressure. No obligation. Just an honest conversation about where you stand and what your options are.
