Wrongful Termination

This is a complex area of law practice. The rules in Texas are governed by both State and Federal rules and regulations.

Most employees in Texas are "at will" which means that the law is tilted towards the employer. You can be terminated for any reason or no reason what so ever, except for the following reasons of discrimination.

Discrimination based on race, creed or color, sexual preferences, retaliation after a whistle blower complaint, under the Americans with Disability Act, and gender.

The initial case conference will be lengthy, inquiring into your work history and the exact circumstances for your dismissal.

There will be extensive discovery to review your employment file and to review your performance evaluations. We also review your employee handbook which would outline your rights, the policy and procedures to be undertaken in the event of a termination, especially your rights regarding any appeals. Please call 817 255-4001 for further information
