Before going to law school I worked in construction, and thereafter in the oil and gas industry.  As a result, I experienced significant workplace harassment and discrimination.  Because of these experiences I dedicated my life to preventing such discrimination and harassment, (as well as the retaliation workers sometimes face when making complaints about such acts).  I focused my legal education on Labor and Employment matters, and after getting out of law school in 1993, I went to work in the Labor and Employment section for the City Attorney's Office in Houston, and then I went to work in Dallas for the largest Labor & Employment firm in the country.  I became Board Certified in Labor & Employment Law by the Texas State Bar in 1999, and in 2002 I started focusing my practice on helping employees that have been illegally treated in the workplace.  You will not find a lawyer that is more dedicated to protecting employees that have been subjected to illegal treatment in the workplace.
