When a DEA agent and military reservist faced career stagnation after returning from Operation Iraqi Freedom, Fluet successfully challenged discriminatory practices through strategic USERRA litigation. This case study details how our team navigated complex federal employment law to overturn an improper evidentiary standard imposed by an Administrative Judge, ultimately securing a Federal Circuit victory. The landmark ruling not only vindicated the client after 14 years but also reinforced critical USERRA protections, including its unlimited statute of limitations, unique burden-shifting framework, mandatory attorney’s fees, and decades-spanning backpay provisions. This victory demonstrates the importance of specialized legal knowledge and persistent advocacy in protecting the employment rights of those who serve our nation.
