Although I began my legal career exclusively representing companies, I quickly learned that my interests—and my heart—lay on the side of employees. In my first such case, I filed a lawsuit on behalf of 12 young ladies who were servers at a restaurant-bar that refused to pay my clients their overtime earnings. Since resolving that case, I have represented thousands of individuals in Texas and across the country in collecting their unpaid overtime wages in industries from hospitality to energy to telecommunications and beyond. I also have a passion for representing employees who have experienced employment discrimination and retaliation. My practice also involves negotiating favorable severance and separation agreements for individuals and representing executives in negotiating employment agreements with, and exit packages from, employers.
