Our Firm For more than thirty years, the law firm of Robert B. Fitzpatrick, PLLC has been a leading force in employment law. Robert B. Fitzpatrick, PLLC is nationally recognized as a premier employment law firm. The National Law Journal describes senior partner Robert B. Fitzpatrick as among the top employment lawyers in the country. Washingtonian Magazine hails him as "tops in employment law" in the Washington, D.C. area. By representing both management and employees, Robert B. Fitzpatrick, PLLC has a significant advantage over firms that limit their practice solely to the defense of claims. We are able more effectively to anticipate and appreciate our adversaries' views and approaches. By applying this knowledge in the pre-termination and pre-litigation stages, we are in a position to maximize our corporate clients' insulation from legal liability in the event that adverse personnel actions are deemed necessary in a reduction in force or otherwise. Our primary goal in servicing our clients is to avoid the time and expense involved in litigation, if reasonably possible and appropriate.
