Expert Guidance at Every Stage

Successfully navigating the federal EEO process requires precision, strategy, and experience.
Ericka Guthrie Dorsey, Esq., Founder, Federal EEO, LLC

The Process

Five stages. Every one matters.

The federal EEO complaint process is procedurally dense and unforgiving of missed deadlines. Click each stage to understand what it demands — and how we help.

Timeline

Day 1–45

What Happens

The 45-day window opens from the date of the discriminatory act. A federal employee must contact an EEO counselor within this window or risk permanent dismissal of the complaint.

Your Role

Identify the triggering event, calculate your exact deadline, and contact your agency EEO office in writing before day 45. Document everything from day one.

How We Help

We help you identify the correct triggering event, calculate your deadline precisely, and frame the initial counselor contact to preserve all legal theories — including those you may not yet realize you have.

Don’t Navigate This Alone.

The federal EEO process is procedurally complex and deadline-driven. One missed step can permanently foreclose your claim. We can help you get it right.

Your 45-day window may already be counting down.

Consultations are for strategic guidance and case assessment. Booking does not create an attorney-client relationship or guarantee representation.
