Employment Law Services in Cypress

Legal Representation for Employees

Employees deserve a workplace free from discrimination, unfair treatment, and wage violations. If you believe your rights have been violated, we can help.

1. Wrongful Termination

Texas is an “at-will” employment state, meaning employers can terminate employees for any reason—except when it violates federal or state laws. If you were fired due to:

• Discrimination (race, gender, age, disability, religion, etc.)
• Retaliation for reporting workplace violations
• A breach of your employment contract

You may have a wrongful termination claim, and we are here to help you seek justice.

2. Workplace Discrimination & Harassment

Federal and state laws protect employees from discrimination and harassment in the workplace. If you have experienced unfair treatment due to your race, gender, age, disability, pregnancy, or other protected characteristics, we can help you file a claim with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or pursue legal action.

3. Wage & Hour Disputes

Employees have the right to fair wages under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and Texas labor laws. We assist workers with:

• Unpaid wages or withheld bonuses
• Overtime pay violations
• Misclassification as an independent contractor

If your employer has not paid you fairly, we can help recover your rightful earnings.

4. Retaliation & Whistleblower Protection

If you were demoted, harassed, or terminated for reporting illegal workplace activities, you may be protected under whistleblower laws. We will fight to protect your job and seek compensation for any damages you have suffered.

Legal Services for Executives

Executives and high-level employees often face complex employment issues related to contracts, severance packages, and compensation. Our legal team assists with:

1. Employment Contracts & Negotiations

We help executives negotiate and review employment agreements to ensure:

• Fair compensation and benefits
• Clearly defined termination terms
• Legal protection against unfair dismissal

2. Severance Agreements

If you're leaving a company, a well-structured severance agreement can protect your financial future. We negotiate severance pay, stock options, and non-compete clauses to secure favorable terms.

3. Compensation & Bonus Disputes

If an employer has failed to honor contractual agreements regarding salary, bonuses, or equity compensation, we advocate for a fair resolution through negotiation or litigation.

Legal Services for Employers

Employers must comply with federal and state employment laws to avoid costly legal disputes. We provide proactive legal solutions, including:

1. Employment Contracts & Policies

We draft and review employee handbooks, workplace policies, non-compete agreements, and independent contractor agreements to help businesses maintain compliance.

2. Defense Against Employee Claims

If an employee has filed a claim against your company for discrimination, wrongful termination, or wage violations, we provide strategic defense to protect your business interests.

3. Workplace Investigations & Compliance

Preventing legal disputes starts with strong policies and internal investigations. We assist businesses with:

• HR training on harassment and discrimination policies
• Wage and hour compliance audits
• Employee complaint investigations

By staying proactive, employers can reduce their legal risks and maintain a fair workplace.

Document all incidents, report them to HR (if safe), and seek legal guidance. Discrimination cases require strong evidence to support your claim.

The timeline depends on the type of claim. For EEOC discrimination claims, you typically have 180 to 300 days to file. Wage claims may have a two- or three-year deadline.

Yes. If your employer failed to pay you fairly, we can help you file a wage claim under FLSA or Texas labor laws.
