2022 - Boston Firefighters Local 718 and the PFFM vs. Civil Service Human Resources Division (HRD)

In November of 2022, Attorney Leah Marie Barrault and the team at Barrault and Associates successfully challenged HRD’s cancellation of the upcoming fire promotional exams on behalf of the Boston Firefighters Union Local 718 and the Professional Fire Fighters of Massachusetts. In the challenge brought against HRD, Civil Service Commissioner Christopher Bowman directed the division to hold the exams by the end of March 2023, ensuring that our clients’ fire departments would be able to have a promotional list allowing them to promote properly and staff their departments.
