If you or your company has been accused of discrimination on the job, you want an experienced lawyer to defend you — someone who knows the law and the process, and has successfully protected the rights of other employers in workplace discrimination claims.

At the Law Office of Walter S. Cowger, I bring 35 years of practice experience to businesses and business owners facing discrimination claims. If you hire me, you will work directly with me. I will take the time to learn the details of your case, as well as your goals. We can then work together to formulate the most effective strategy to protect your interests.

My Employment Discrimination/Retaliation Defense Practice

I represent both large and small companies in cases involving allegations of discrimination based on age, gender, religion, disability, race, and other protected categories. I also defend employers who have been accused of taking retaliatory actions against employees who have complained of discrimination or filed workers' compensation claims.

I handle all matters related to the defense of a discrimination or retaliation claim, taking the time to fully investigate the facts and circumstances of the claims against you. I will carefully gather and assess the evidence, and will interview all potential witnesses, so that I can determine the strengths and weaknesses of the case against you, as well as all potential defenses. I will prepare and file all pleadings and other documents required by the court, and I will serve as your representative in all hearings and other proceedings, from the depositions of witnesses interviews to settlement discussions to trial.

I have dealt with hundreds of discrimination claims, and have seen most every possible scenario. I can quickly evaluate your case and give you sound advice on whether you should seek to settle the case or litigate it.

I have been Board Certified in Labor and Employment Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization since 1996. I am also AV-rated by my colleagues in the legal profession under Martindale-Hubbell's Peer Review Rating System*. I have been named a Texas Super Lawyer by Texas Monthly magazine every year since 2005.
