Mr. Woodfield is known for his record of winning multiple retaliation cases under the federal Whistleblower Protection Act and other statutes. Other notable victories for clients include:.

He has recovered millions in judgments and settlements for his clients, including a $1.13 million Wage Payment Act judgment and multiple seven-figure class action settlements.. Mr. Woodfield also works with clients who are the subjects of workplace investigations into their own conduct.

Mr. Woodfield has spent decades refining his techniques and expanding his knowledge base to better serve his clients. His extensive experience proves useful in providing creative solutions and guiding clients through the otherwise complex and overwhelming field of employment law.. “Attempting to go through the legal process alone is akin to walking across the Mojave Desert after watching a YouTube video. You’re not prepared for the journey,” Mr. Woodfield says. “Yes, it’s possible you could do it, but it’s almost guaranteed to have a bad outcome. Our experience at TELG can help guide you.”. For over a decade, Mr. Woodfield has been recognized by The Best Lawyers in America and Super Lawyers for his work. Washingtonian Magazine and Northern Virginia magazine named Mr. Woodfield to their “Top Lawyers” lists, and Lawdragon ranked him one of the top 500 leading plaintiff-side employment lawyers in the U.S. His recognition extends to the media, where outlets frequently ask for his thoughts on employment law matters..
