The MSPB neither endorses the services provided by any attorney nor warrants that any attorney will accept representation in a given case. It will be the decision of the individual appellant to contact interested attorneys about pro bono representation, and, if contacted, it will be the decision of that attorney whether to provide pro bono representation. Law firms or individual attorneys may end their participation and have their contact information removed from our Web site at any time by contacting the Office of the Clerk of the Board in writing.

William D. Spencer,

Clerk of the Board.
