Employment is one of the most important parts of our lives. The workplace is where people build careers, support families, and establish long-term stability. But when employment disputes or unfair practices arise, they can cause significant stress, financially, professionally, and emotionally. That’s why having a trusted employment lawyer on your side makes all the difference.
At Adam Bernards Attorneys, our team of Houston employment law attorneys represents both employees and employers in workplace matters across Texas. We provide clear guidance, strong advocacy, and practical solutions to resolve disputes while protecting your rights and interests.
Employment law governs the relationship between employers and employees. In Texas, most jobs are considered “at-will,” meaning either party can end the employment relationship at any time for almost any reason. However, there are important exceptions to this rule. Employers cannot terminate or mistreat employees for unlawful reasons such as discrimination, retaliation, or violations of federal and state employment laws.
Employment law also covers a wide range of workplace issues beyond termination, including wages, benefits, workplace safety, and employment contracts. Navigating these rules can be overwhelming, which is why experienced legal support is essential.
Many employees hesitate to contact a lawyer when workplace problems arise, fearing retaliation or assuming they have no options. Similarly, many employers worry about the complexity of employment laws and the cost of handling disputes. The truth is, early legal guidance can prevent costly mistakes and protect your future.
Working with our Houston employment law attorneys provides clarity in complex laws. We explain your rights and obligations in plain language; protection from unfair treatment. We hold employers accountable for discrimination, harassment, and wage violations; prevention of costly mistakes for businesses, we ensure policies and contracts comply with Texas law; and peace of mind, you’ll know your next steps and how to safeguard your future.
Whether you are an employee facing wrongful termination or an employer building a compliant workplace, we are here to help.
At Adam Bernards Attorneys, we represent clients in a wide range of employment matters.
While Texas is an at-will employment state, employees cannot be fired for unlawful reasons. Wrongful termination cases may involve discrimination, retaliation, whistleblower protections, or violations of employment contracts. If you’ve been let go unfairly, our lawyers will investigate and fight for your rights.
Discrimination based on race, gender, age, disability, religion, or other protected characteristics is illegal under federal and Texas law. We help employees bring claims against discriminatory practices and assist employers in creating fair, compliant workplace policies.
Everyone deserves to work in a safe, respectful environment. Harassment, whether verbal, physical, or digital, creates toxic workplaces and violates employment law. Our attorneys provide compassionate support for victims and hold employers accountable for failing to address misconduct.
Employees deserve fair pay for their work. Wage disputes often involve unpaid overtime, misclassification of employees, or failure to pay minimum wage. We help employees recover lost wages and guide employers in complying with the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).
From non-compete clauses to severance packages, employment agreements shape the rights of both employers and employees. Our Houston employment lawyers draft, review, and negotiate contracts to ensure they are enforceable and fair.
Employees who speak up about unlawful practices such as reporting safety violations, discrimination, or wage theft are legally protected from retaliation. If you believe you’ve been punished for standing up for your rights, we will advocate for you.
For employees, workplace issues can feel overwhelming. You may be worried about losing your job, damaging your reputation, or facing financial instability. Our role is to provide honest advice, explain your options, and fight to protect your rights.
We help employees with filing claims for discrimination, harassment, or wrongful termination; negotiating fair severance agreements; recovering unpaid wages and overtime; protecting themselves from retaliation; and understanding their employment contracts.
You don’t have to face workplace challenges alone our Houston employment lawyers stand with you.
For businesses, employment law compliance is not just about avoiding lawsuits, it’s about building a strong, fair workplace. Employers who take a proactive approach to employment law create healthier work environments and reduce long-term risks.
We help employers by drafting employee handbooks and policies; reviewing and negotiating employment contracts; ensuring compliance with state and federal labor laws; defending against wrongful termination or discrimination claims; and providing ongoing general counsel for workplace issues.
Our goal is to help businesses thrive while maintaining lawful, respectful workplace practices.
Every employment dispute is unique, but most follow a similar process. Our Houston employment attorneys first review your case in detail to understand the facts and your goals.
