Text: ¶ 32 The referee said Attorney Nunnery did not place any weight on his client's concerns, which were based on her years of experience and knowledge of procedures at the USPS. He did not follow her warning that it would be necessary to have more than the notice that her removal from service had been rescinded. A.S. desired details about when and where she should return to work, whether she would need to serve a probationary period, and whether she would receive back pay for an administrative leave. The referee rejected Attorney Nunnery's contention that he acted reasonably in securing his client's back pay. Although Attorney Nunnery did represent A.S. at a meeting and was instrumental in filing an appeal, he was not instrumental in obtaining compensation for her administrative leave beginning April 26, 2003, which she did not receive until after she complained to Senator Russ Feingold's office.
