An employment contract is a legal agreement between an employee and an employer. It sets the terms of employment, such as wages and job duties.

Texas law does not require employment contracts. As a “right to work” state, Texas does not put many legal limits on employment relationships:

An “at will” employee can leave their job at any time and for any reason.
An employer can fire an “at will” employee at any time and for any lawful reason. Unlawful reasons include discrimination based on race, religion, s*x, etc.
More and more employers in Texas are using employment contracts. These contracts can be rather intimidating. They may be quite long, with legal language that is difficult to understand. Prospective employees might be afraid to ask questions, fearing the loss of a job offer. You should always have a right to review a contract and ask a lawyer for help understanding it.

When someone takes the time to go through the terms of an employment contract with you, their benefits become clear. A well-written contract protects both the employer and the employee.

Identity theft and Credit Fraud are not restricted to online events and activities. Everytime you swipe your card, you unknowingly put yourself at risk.
While at the gas pump, look closely at the credit module and check to see if there is a fraud-prevention sticker placed over the unit's door. Stations that lack this seal are statically higher security risks for your information because the lack of a seal indicates that anyone can open the data unit unchecked. Simple observations help prevent unwanted problems. For more information, contact our office.

Personal Injuries / Motor Vehicle Accidents are always significant to the injured client. It is the Attorney's duty to compensate the client both monetarily and physically. Simply putting money in a client's hands isn't enough to make them feel better. The first responsibility is to get the client's physical ailments addressed immediately. Don't sit and wait for another attorney to think about helping you, when the Frachtman Law Office is already prepared to do so.

Victims of Identity Theft who know the person who violated and used their personal information are not left without means of retaliation. It is possible to file a civil claim through your attorney, as well as criminal charges through the Texas Attorney General's Office. And despite the fact that the office has a competent staff, it helps to have your attorney by your side as you deal with both Civil and Criminal aspects of your situation. Let the Frachtman Law Office guide you as you recover your losses. Email [email protected] 24/7 for all your legal concerns.
