Virginia employment law · Federal claims
If you work in Herndon's tech and telecom stretch of the Dulles Toll Road — network operations, an IT contract, a professional firm supporting federal or commercial networks — and you are facing retaliation, a denied accommodation, or a severance decision, we can help. Our McLean office is a few miles east, and we have represented Northern Virginia employees in these corridors for years.
J. Madison PLC is licensed in Virginia. We handle Virginia employment matters statewide and evaluate federal civil-rights and whistleblower claims nationwide. Pure other-state law claims may require local counsel, which you may be able to find through our affiliate network.
These are common examples, not a complete list. If what is happening to you looks different, tell us anyway — we will help you figure out whether you have a case.
Security, billing, or compliance reports can trigger quiet removals from programs. We evaluate § 2409, VWPL, and Title VII overlays before deadlines expire.
Whistleblower practice24/7 operations employers often claim every role is immovable. We test essential functions and interactive-process failures under the ADA.
ADA accommodationHerndon tech employers hire service members. We evaluate reemployment and military discrimination claims alongside ordinary leave theories.
USERRATitles like “engineer” do not automatically defeat FLSA claims. We review duties, not just offer letters.
Wage & hourEquity cliffs and broad releases deserve a careful redline. We negotiate exits for senior ICs and managers.
Severance & contractsLeave-related demotions and “performance” pivots happen on the Toll Road too. We map the statutes early.
Pregnancy discriminationSomething else — start a conflict check and describe it in your own words.
Network operations, on-call rotations, and telecom employers create distinctive accommodation, overtime, and retaliation fact patterns. We focus on employee-side statutory claims — not vendor contracting disputes between companies.
Contractors supporting federal IT missions may have § 2409 whistleblower paths and Title VII exposure when program management retaliates after protected reports. We map statutes before EEOC or OSC deadlines pass.
You are not hiring a distant listing. Our office is a few miles east on the Toll Road, and the advice we give corridor workers is backed by EDVA experience (including Burke) and court-approved wage and retaliation work (including Keller). Past results do not guarantee future outcomes.

Herndon and Toll Road employees get the same employee-side Northern Virginia practice that serves our McLean, Reston, and Fairfax clients — contractor whistleblower paths, ADA in operational roles, USERRA, severance, and discrimination litigation.
Named public matters: Burke and Keller on Selected Matters. Other work for tech and telecom employees is described by pattern unless a client authorizes identification.

They overlap for many purposes, but Herndon's telecom and network-operations employers create distinct scheduling and on-call fact patterns that shape ADA and overtime claims differently than Reston's campus employers.
Yes. We evaluate USERRA reemployment and discrimination claims for service members in private and contractor workplaces.
