Help With a Federal Agency
One of the most important services we provide is assisting when you are having trouble cutting through the red tape of the federal government.
Although we cannot order an agency to decide a matter in your favor, we can ensure that your case is treated fairly and expeditiously. My office is unable to offer legal advice or recommend an attorney. The rules of the House do not allow me to intervene in or influence the outcome of cases that are under the jurisdiction of any court. Finally, my office cannot intervene in matters under the jurisdiction of local or state governments.
Staff in my office can provide you with basic information, such as a federal agency phone number, and help you with governmental procedures. In addition, my staff can help with individual matters involving government agencies and programs.
In order to protect your privacy, all federal agencies require a privacy release form, signed by you, before they will release any information on your case to my office. A copy of this privacy form can be found below. Please note that Medicare and Immigration cases require seperate privacy forms that can be found under the corresponding links below.
