Workplace Retaliation Attorney

If your employer punished you for exercising your legal rights, you may have a retaliation claim. You may have a case if your employer retaliated against you because you:

• Reported workplace discrimination
• Took or requested FMLA leave
• Made a workers’ compensation claim
• Requested a reasonable ADA accommodation
• Reported a patient safety concern as a nurse, doctor, or other healthcare worker (Safe Harbor / Nursing Retaliation)
• Refused to commit an illegal act (Sabine Pilot)
• Made a complaint about a Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) violation, including unpaid wages or overtime
• Opposed other unlawful conduct

Retaliation can take many forms — termination, demotion, reduced hours, or a hostile work environment. If your employer reacted to your protected activity by making your work life harder, call us.

Sexual Harassment Attorney

No employee should have to tolerate sexual harassment at work. Jack represents employees across Texas facing hostile work environment harassment. You may have a case if you experienced any of the following in a severe or pervasive manner:

• Unwanted sexual advances
• Offers of job benefits in exchange for dating or sexual favors
• Retaliation after declining sexual advances
• Sexually degrading verbal conduct, comments, or messages
• Physical conduct of a sexual nature

Your consultation is free and confidential.
