Matthew Famiglietti opened his first law office in 1994 because he believes strongly that one individual can make a difference. Having a disability, and living with that disability every day, gives him a unique insight into issues that affect people with disabilities. He has a deep commitment to providing quality legal services to others with disabilities. Of course, he brings that same commitment to those without disabilities as well. Matthew handles cases ranging from Disability Law, the Americans with Disabilities Act, Employment Law, Asylum Law, to Special Education Law. All of these areas have one thing in common – helping those who are being discriminated against through no fault of their own.You will never know if you have a valid case unless you have consulted with an experienced attorney.
Matthew cares about what is best for you, not best for him; and he will help you find justice through the best available avenue.

- Q. So there’s this lady who's lying on me saying that I flashed her and I wasn’t . Can please get some advice?
- A: First of all, your question is mischaracterized. This is not a sexual harassment question. Your question is more about being reported to the police for allegedly smoking weed. If you believe that you need a criminal defense lawyer then you need to contact a licensed criminal defense lawyer who is licensed to practice law in the District of Columbia. Good luck.
- Q. My boss is threatening to sue me for damages on a customers car I scratched up while driving it into the mechanics shop.
- A: You are lucky your boss has not terminated you for damage to the customer’s car. I don’t think a claim of hostile work environment gets you very far.
- Q. After dismissal, does a former local State Dep employee ( US Embassy) have the right to review the empl. handbook
- A: First of all, you should have been given a state dept. employee handbook upon your orientation into the state department. So, having access to the state dept. employee handbook should not be a problem. Are you referring to access to your personnel file? If that is the case, then that would be a different situation. If you feel that you have been discriminated against based on race, sex, disability, national origin, or gender, then you should file a federal sector complaint.
