I take very few contingent-fee cases representing plaintiffs in employment disputes, but I do take one occasionally if the facts are compelling. I believe that employers generally try to do the right thing by their employees. Sometimes, however, they don't.
If you have been wrongfully treated by your employer, you want experienced and effective legal counsel to protect your rights. Your employer will likely bring in experienced lawyers to try to diminish or defeat your legitimate claim. You want to even the playing field with a skilled and knowledgeable attorney.
Protecting Employees in Work-Related Litigation
At the Law Office of Walter S. Cowger, I have represented employees in claims involving:
- Sexual harassment
- Violation of wage and hour laws
- Retaliation for whistleblowing or for filing a valid workers' compensation claim
- Misappropriation of trade secrets
I will fully investigate the facts and circumstances of your case, interviewing co-workers and others, if necessary. I will prepare and file all required documents, and will be your advocate in all hearings and other proceedings, from depositions to settlement negotiations to trial.
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.
