Wrongful Termination and Unlawful Retaliation Defense

Although Texas is an at-will employment state, statutory protections prohibit employers from discharging workers for discriminatory reasons, whistleblowing, or exercising legal rights. The wrongful termination lawyers at The Sanford Firm investigate dismissals to unearth pretext and secure justice.

• Whistleblower protection and retaliation, championing employees reporting corporate fraud, safety violations, or regulatory noncompliance.
• Executive severance disputes, negotiating severance packages, non-compete agreements, and executive contracts.
• Protected activity advocacy, defending personnel dismissed for taking medical leave or filing worker compensation claims.

Workplace Discrimination and Harassment Advocacy

Every professional deserves a work environment free from bias and hostility. As seasoned workplace discrimination lawyers, the attorneys represent workers subjected to disparate treatment under Title VII and the Texas Labor Code.

• Gender and pregnancy discrimination, advocating for workers denied equal pay, promotions, or pregnancy accommodations.
• Race and national origin discrimination, challenging pervasive bias and discriminatory disciplinary measures.
• Harassment lawyers counsel, taking legal action against severe sexual misconduct, toxic hostile environments, and unlawful workplace retaliation.
• Disability and age discrimination, protecting workers denied reasonable accommodations or terminated due to medical issues.

Wage, Hour, and Overtime Dispute Resolution

The firm wage and hour lawyers represent employees in recovering unpaid wages, withheld commissions, and overtime pay under the Fair Labor Standards Act. They represent workers improperly misclassified as exempt employees or independent contractors and assist employees forced to perform off-the-clock work.
