Texas law states that it is illegal to discriminate against an employee based on a person’s race, religion, gender identity, national origin, or age. Essentially, discrimination is being treated unfairly within the workplace based on how you look or who you are.
Employment discrimination is a serious crime and can cause not only physical but mental anguish to employees. Because of this, all employees, including state employees, are protected under federal law, as federal law prohibits employment discrimination-based actions.
Due to the Federal laws against discrimination, all employees in America have the right to work free from discrimination and bias in the workplace.
The Galo Law Firm understands that these laws can be difficult to navigate alone. Our team of employment lawyers based in San Antonio can help you navigate these laws, giving you the best chance to succeed in a trial if an out-of-court settlement can not be reached with the defense. We can represent management and employees alike under the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
In Texas, you are protected by both state and federal law if you make a complaint about your employer after a legal or discriminatory issue. This means that if you are fired due to the fact you spoke up against your employer in regard to discrimination or illegal practices, then you may be entitled to file a claim against them.
Sexual harassment, unfortunately, is more common in the workplace than you might think. Once more, there are both state and federal laws put in place to protect the employee against sexual harassment. Sexual harassment can include, but isn’t limited to;
If you feel that any of these statements apply to you, then it is in your best interest to speak out and contact legal representation. We will make sure to keep all confidential or sensitive information between ourselves until the charge has been made against your employer.
Racial Discrimination can refer to any type of comment, joke, or physical attack due to your national origin or race. In these cases, you can push for punitive damages based on defamatory bias in the workplace.
When considering a discrimination claim, it’s essential to have a wealth of knowledge behind you.

That’s why we have compiled a list of what to consider when looking for the right law attorney in San Antonio.
The attorney you choose must have expertise in your area of defense. It’s safe to say that having a law firm specializing in one area allows it to develop more skills and experience in that area.

We would prefer to come to an out-of-court settlement as it saves a lot of stress, time, and money.

The same laws that protect employees from discrimination also protect them from the further injustice of employer retaliation and retaliatory discharge. If you have opposed discrimination in the workplace or have filed an EEOC charge, and your employer retaliates against you by firing, demoting, or disciplining you, you may have a claim.
A victim of employment discrimination and retaliation must file his or her charge with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). The filing of an EEOC charge is normally a prerequisite to a lawsuit for discrimination or retaliation. An employee must file a charge of discrimination or retaliation within 180 days of when he or she learned of the adverse employment action or harassment. The moral of the story is that employees cannot sleep on their rights.
An experienced San Antonio discrimination lawyer can advocate for your rights before the EEOC, in negotiations with your employer, and in court. Attorney Michael Galo of The Galo Law Firm P.C. has helped hundreds of people fight discrimination in the workplace.
