Houston, Texas, Employment Law and Discrimination Lawyers
According to the Department of Labor, American employers failed to pay 166 million dollars in overtime wages in 2007 alone. During this time, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) received 12,510 charges of sexual harassment and 30,510 reports of racial discrimination in the workplace.
While employment conditions in the U.S. have clearly improved over the last several decades, it is evident from these statistics that sexual harassment, discrimination and wage violations are still prevalent in the workplace. The lawyers at the employment law firm of Fitts Zehl, LLP, have repeatedly obtained favorable results in cases involving these and other illegal employment practices. Just recently, for example, the head of a worldwide product distributor resigned in response to a lawsuit we filed against both him and his employer for sexually harassing and retaliating against one of our clients.
Do You Have Questions Regarding Sexual Harassment, Discrimination, Wage and Overtime Violations or Other Employment Law Issues? Call 866-586-8988 to Discuss Your Employee Claim.
Ryan Zehl and Bryant Fitts have successfully represented dozens of workers in retaliation, discrimination, sexual harassment, wrongful discharge, and other state and federal employment cases. We work exclusively with plaintiffs to protect against conflicts of interest and—in doing so—have recovered substantial damages against companies ranging from small, local businesses to some of the world's largest national and multinational corporations.
In an effort to prevent discrimination in the workplace, the federal government has enacted numerous administrative and statutory regulations that expressly prohibit employers from treating an employee differently because of their race, religion, national origin, disability, gender or age. The employment attorneys at Fitts Zehl have years of experience representing individuals and large groups in cases based on these regulations, as well as in disputes involving overtime pay, exempt versus nonexempt status, whistleblowing, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), pregnancy, commissions, and non-compete and other employment agreements.
