Overview

He has represented federal and private sector employees in investigations and cases in front of the Merit Systems Protection Board, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and the Office of Special Counsel.
Since joining fellow Hofstra University alum Mathew B. Tully, Esq. in 2004 to form Tully Rinckey PLLC, Greg has become a recognized leader in the military and federal employment law sectors.
