Employee Rights: Discrimination, Retaliation, and Wrongful Termination

The firm provides forceful representation in hostile work environment and sexual harassment claims, guiding clients through Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) filings and aggressively prosecuting violations in Texas state and federal courts.

Wage and Hour Disputes, Unpaid Overtime, and Severance Reviews

Federal and Texas pay regulations require strict compliance with minimum wage, overtime mandates, and accurate worker classifications. If you need an attorney urgently because your employer has withheld earned wages, misclassified you as an exempt employee or independent contractor, or failed to pay required overtime under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), Stacy Cole Law, P.C. can step in immediately. Furthermore, the firm assists departing executives and workers with thorough severance reviews, negotiating enhanced severance packages and assessing restrictive covenants to ensure fair compensation and post-employment freedom.
