Why it is so important to make a complaint if you feel like you have been harassed or discriminated against at work. Reporting it provides an extra layer of protection for you.

"If you feel like you are being harassed or discriminated against based on your belonging to a protected class, go ahead and make a complaint. A lot of people call us before they make a complaint because they are afraid of retaliation. The truth is, once you have made that complaint that actually puts you into a separate protected class as somebody who has complained of discrimination and the law protects you from being retaliated against."

Our newest partner, Margo Pillischer, was featured on Luhrsen Goldberg's podcast "That's What She Pled" where they discussed important legal changes happening in employment law impacting women today.

"AMAZING! Dan Ross is a BOSS. He radiates knowledge and commands truth and justice for his clients. I received a settlement that did not go to court but I would LOVE to see him in a court room. Dan is patient, to the point and most of all knows the law. He is essential in managing your claim. Brandie Moser is the most compassionate, kind and caring attorney I have ever known. She truly puts her heart into every case. She works so hard for her clients and she was kind beyond what I deserved. Lacie was my paralegal and she was not only calm, considerate and kind but was informative and to the point. She kept everything organized. This Firm has the BEST team working for you. As a single mother who wasn't in the best position, this team was able to come to a settlement that helped both myself and my child. I am forever in your debt. Love you guys!"

Thank you for the fabulous review, Mer! We are so glad we could help!

Federal and state employment laws don’t prevent every unfair termination. Texan workers are subject to employment “at-will,” which entitles employers to terminate employees for any reason, a bad reason or no reason at all. However, if an employer fires you for an illegal reason, you can make a claim for wrongful termination. It is important that you reach out to an Austin wrongful termination attorney as soon as possible to learn about your available legal options.

Ross • Scalise Law Group understands the state and federal laws surrounding wrongful termination. Our lawyers are passionate about seeking compensation for employees who have been wrongfully terminated in Austin, Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, Corpus Christi, and beyond.
