Employment law issues impact the hiring and firing of employees, as well as the day-to-day interactions between employers and employees. Many state and federal laws regulate this relationship. One of the best ways to protect yourself when making employment decisions is to speak to an employment law attorney before you make what may be a very costly and regrettable decision. Our employment practice focuses on issues related to the following:

  • Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
  • Human resources assistance
  • Hiring and firing decisions
  • Immigration issues
  • Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA)
  • Employment discrimination
  • Severance agreements
  • Employment contracts
  • Unemployment compensation
  • Covenants not to compete

Disability-Related Employment Issues

Much of our practice centers on representing employees with disabilities and their employers. A variety of state and federal laws regulate the rights and obligations of employers and employees with disabilities, including the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Before making an employment decision or changing jobs if you are an employee with a disability, speak with an experienced employment attorney today.

HIV/AIDS and LGBT Employment-Related Issues

Another important area of our practice is representing members of the LGBT and HIV communities and their employers. We have unique insights into the issues surrounding HIV/AIDS and LGBT employment-related issues because John Nechman and Mitchell Katine are adjunct professors who have taught "HIV and the Law" and “Sexual Orientation and Gender Identification Law” at South Texas College of Law and the University of Houston Law Center. We have personal, professional and educational experiences that we will use to assist you in making appropriate employment decisions.
