San Antonio Employment Law and Civil Litigation Lawyers
At The Galo Law Firm, we use our vast experience as employment law litigators, advisors, arbitrators and negotiators to fight aggressively and effectively for your rights. We are experienced in a broad range of employment law and civil litigation legal areas.
- Discrimination law: Employees are strictly protected from discrimination based on age, race, sex and national origin, as well as from employer retaliation against discrimination suits. We can file your claim with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and fight for your employment rights.
- Sexual Harassment: Federal and state laws protect employees from gender discrimination and sexual harassment. Sexual harassment can involve a hostile work environment, due to inappropriate touching, comments and pictures, or withheld promotions, pay and benefits upon an employee’s refusal to participate in sexual activity with co-workers and/or superiors.
- Non-Compete and Trade Secret disputes: Non-compete and trade secret concerns are usually addressed in employment contracts. Many other issues, including the sharing of client lists and other confidential information are covered by federal and state law. If your employer has accused you of sharing trade secrets or violating your non-compete agreement, or has asked you to sign a contract involving these issues, we can provide experienced advice and representation.
- Personal Injury: We have helped numerous individuals recover damages for injuries and wrongful death occurring from auto accidents, workplace accidents, slip, trip and fall accidents on private and public property, and nursing home and hospital liability.
- Commercial Litigation: Commercial litigation can involve breach of contract, collection law, fraud, partnership disputes, breach of fiduciary duty and intentional misrepresentation. If you feel the rights of your business have been violated, we can help.
- Employment Contracts: We offer experienced contract draft negotiation services regarding severance agreements, employment contracts and non-compete agreements involving compensation, benefits, terms and conditions, job duties, and circumstances under which you can terminated.
- Wage and Hour Issues: Wage and hour issues can involve intentional underpayment for time worked, sub-minimum-wage work, disputes over overtime, misclassification regarding exempt and non-exempt status, and retaliation for wage and hour claims.
- Wrongful Termination: Wrongful termination can cause immediate income issues and other significant problems, including loss of medical insurance. Wrongful termination suits often originate with discrimination, retaliation, an employee's refusal to carry out a criminal act, and whistle blowing. We have successfully recovered substantial sums for victims of wrongful termination.
- Qui Tam: Qui tam laws allow individuals to notify the federal government of knowledge that it is being defrauded. The person notifying the government, or "relator", is eligible to receive a portion of the money the government saves by bringing a suit for fraud against the defrauder. Qui tam claims most commonly involve Medicare and Medicaid, and healthcare providers, defense contractors and the transportation industry.
