At The Galo Law Firm P.C., we use our extensive experience as employment law trial attorneys to fight aggressively for the rights of local workers who have been mistreated by their employers
Are you being treated unfairly at work? Our lawyers represent employees in a wide range of employment law disputes. Whether you are facing discrimination, sexual harassment, unpaid overtime, wrongful termination, or another adverse employment action, our attorneys are here to defend your rights! Cases we handle include:
The law guarantees employees the right to work free from discrimination based on age, race, sex, national origin, pregnancy, disability and other protected classifications. We represent both employees and management before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and in litigation in the federal and state courts across Texas.
Federal and state laws protect employees from gender discrimination and sexual harassment. Sexual harassment can involve a hostile work environment created through inappropriate touching, jokes, comments, or pictures. The law also prohibits quid pro quo harassment, which involves the request for sexual favors in return for workplace advancement.
Wrongful termination suits often arise from discrimination, retaliation, an employee’s refusal to carry out a criminal act, and whistle blowing. We have handled hundreds of wrongful termination lawsuits.
Employees who complain about or report their employer’s illegal or discriminatory actions are protected by a number of state and federal laws. If you are fired because you filed an EEOC charge or because you opposed discrimination, harassment or illegal pay practices, you may have a claim.
Non-competition and trade secret law has literally exploded in Texas thanks to a 2006 decision from the Texas Supreme Court. If you own a business and need to protect your business by having your employees sign non-compete agreements, we can help. Likewise, if you are an executive or sales person who needs advice regarding a non-compete, we can assist you as well. Additionally, we have litigated many non-compete and trade secret cases on behalf of both management and employees.
We assist employers in drafting severance agreements. We also help employees in reviewing and negotiating severance agreements.
No employee, especially one with a disability, should be subject to discrimination in the workplace. Employees with disabilities have the right to equal opportunities as their coworkers. If you were denied a job, promotion, or have endured inconsiderate behavior aimed at your disability, you may have a case.
If your employer has denied you unpaid wages, overtime, or other benefits you have the right to demand fair compensation with the law on your side. Despite what you may have been told by your current of former employer about your pay check, it’s important to speak to an attorney to find out if you have an unpaid overtime claim.
