Gender Discrimination

Despite progress made for women in the workplace, we still face discrimination, harassment, and unequal pay. According to the organization Every Texan, Texas women typically earn about 79.6 cents on the dollar when compared to men. This inequity is even greater for Black and Hispanic women. Further, according to the National Sexual Violence Resources Center, nationwide, 81% of women and 43% of men reported experiencing some form of sexual harassment and/or assault in their lifetime. Allow us to fight alongside you if you have been the victim of workplace discrimination or harassment.

Workers’ Compensation Have you been injured on the job?

Employers are required to maintain safety standards, ensure a safe working environment, and protect employees from injury. When a worker is injured, it is almost always due to lax safety standards, faulty equipment, the negligence of a co-worker, or other party. Employers need to take responsibility, and make sure things are made right—whether that employer carries workers’ compensation insurance or not.

Get the Benefits You Are Entitled To

Representing Immigrants Regardless of Legal Status

18 Wheeler and Commercial Vehicle Crashes Get the dedicated legal protection you need now.

Crashes involving 18-wheelers and commercial vehicles are more serious: 18-wheelers typically carry a gross vehicle weight of 80,000 lbs and the injuries caused by these heavier vehicles can be more severe. The experience required to fight against their insurance companies is more substantial than an ordinary car accident case because we’re looking into state and federal law violations, driver’s qualifications deficiencies, violated company and maintenance policies, alcohol, drug and fatigue factors, or prioritizing profits over safety. Let us fight for you if you are hurt in a crash with an 18-wheeler or commercial vehicle.

In everything I do, I think of myself at 10 years old. Am I making that boy proud?
