State and Federal laws protect an individual from a wide variety of illegal conduct in the workplace. Although Texas is an “at will” state, allowing an employer to terminate an employee without cause, an employer is not allowed to illegally discriminate or retaliate against its employees. Specific statutes, such as the Fair Labor Standards Act, the Family Medical Leave Act, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, and “whistleblower” laws, provide workers with a remedy when an employer breaks the law. Although employment laws usually favor the employer, a tenacious approach can often level the playing field. We have successfully represented clients on the following employment related matters:

• Wrongful termination
• Retaliation
• Sexual harassment
• Racial discrimination
• Both public and private whistleblower cases
