Discrimination & Wrongful Termination

If you were treated unfairly or fired for the wrong reasons, you have rights under federal and Texas law. We help you understand them — and enforce them.

When is a firing unlawful?

Texas is an at-will employment state, which means an employer can generally end your employment for many reasons — or no reason at all. But not for an illegal reason. It is unlawful for an employer to discriminate against or terminate an employee because of their sex, race, religion, national origin, disability status or age.

The challenge is rarely whether something felt wrong — it's proving why it happened. That's where a board-certified employment attorney and a careful review of the facts make the difference.

What to do if you suspect discrimination

01
Write down what happened
Dates, names, what was said. Contemporaneous notes are powerful evidence.
02
Preserve documents
Keep performance reviews, emails, texts and your employee handbook — on a personal device, not a work account.
03
Mind the deadlines
Discrimination claims have strict filing windows — often just 180–300 days. Talk to us early.

What you may be able to recover

Depending on your case, remedies can include back pay and lost benefits, reinstatement or front pay, compensatory damages for emotional harm, punitive damages, and attorney's fees.
