Profile
Defending Texas Workers Since 1998
Ross Scalise Employment Lawyers is a premier employment law firm located in downtown Austin, Texas. Founded by attorney Daniel B. Ross, the firm has spent over 25 years exclusively dedicated to protecting the rights of employees. In a state where employment laws often favor the employer, Ross Scalise serves as a vital equalizer, giving ordinary workers a fighting chance against powerful corporations and government entities. The firm’s mission is clear: to hold employers accountable for illegal actions and to ensure that every worker is treated with the dignity and fairness they deserve.
Focused Expertise in Employment Law
Unlike general practice firms that dabble in employment issues, Ross Scalise Employment Lawyers focuses entirely on this complex and ever-changing field. Their deep understanding of federal and Texas labor laws allows them to handle even the most challenging cases.
- Workplace Discrimination: No one should be fired or mistreated because of their race, age, gender, disability, or religion. The firm has a strong track record of litigating cases under Title VII, the ADA, and the ADEA, fighting for clients who have been victims of bias.
- Wage and Hour Disputes: Wage theft is a rampant issue. Whether it is unpaid overtime, misclassification as an independent contractor, or being forced to work off the clock, Ross Scalise fights to recover every dollar their clients have earned. They are well-versed in the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).
- Wrongful Termination: While Texas is an ‘at-will’ employment state, that does not mean employers can fire you for an illegal reason. The firm represents clients who have been terminated in retaliation for whistleblowing, filing a workers’ comp claim, or refusing to commit an illegal act.
- Sexual Harassment: They provide a safe and supportive environment for victims of sexual harassment to come forward and seek justice.
A History of Success
Daniel Ross started this firm with a borrowed fax machine and a passion for justice. Today, it is a powerhouse boutique firm with a team of skilled attorneys and support staff.
