I am also a mindfulness based practitioner. From EEO disputes to performance issues, I believe in a balanced approach that protects your rights and preserves your well-being.
My mission here? Empower you with the knowledge, strategies, and calm mindset you need to thrive in your federal service during this challenging time.

READ MY STORY
"Southworth PC was recommended to me by a friend who was going through hell at work before Shaun saved her job. While being subjected to unjust measures at work, I hired Southworth PC. If this firm takes your case, follow their advice. It is so worth it!"

- Keith, Federal Employee Â
"The process was long and difficult, but Southworth PC never gave up on me. Thanks to their persistence, my case is finally over—and I won. I can’t thank them enough."
-Â Jonathan, Federal Employee
"Shaun Southworth and his team assisted me at every step of the way. Whether it was medical evidence or agency paperwork, nothing was overlooked or submitted late. It was an arduous process, but Southworth PC handled the details, saving me so much anxiety and stress. I am forever grateful!"
-Â Diana, Federal Employee
NICE TO MEET YOU
I'm Lydia TaylorÂ
For too long, I’ve seen dedicated public servants give their all—only to be met with retaliation, discrimination, and unfair treatment from the very agencies they serve. I know what it’s like to feel silenced, pushed out, or trapped in a system that seems rigged against you. That’s why I’ve made it my mission to level the playing field.
As an employment attorney and former HR director, I don’t just understand the system—I’ve worked inside it. I know how agencies think, how decisions get made, and where they cut corners. I use that insider knowledge, combined with my expertise in employment law and federal labor relations, to help employees fight back, protect their careers, and reclaim their power.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, or unsure of your next step, know this: you don’t have to fight alone.
