Employment lawyer for employees · Houston
Fired, unpaid or treated unfairly at work?
Tick what has happened. Each of these can be a legal claim, and Daniel Amadi will tell you plainly whether yours is worth pursuing.
Deadlines in employment cases can be short
Some claims have to be filed within months, not years. Call before you sign anything from your employer, and before a date passes that you cannot get back.

How it works
From first call to a decision
You talk to the attorney, not a call center. Most people know where they stand by the end of the first conversation.
1.
A confidential call
Tell Daniel what happened and when. He checks the dates that apply to you straight away, because some deadlines are short.
2.
An honest view
Whether you have a claim, what it could be worth, and what it would take. If it is not worth pursuing, you will hear that too.
3.
Action, if you choose
A demand letter, an agency charge, negotiation or a lawsuit. You decide each step, and you are kept informed throughout.
Before the first consultation
What to keep
Keep copies somewhere your employer cannot reach, such as a personal email or phone. Do not take documents you are not allowed to have. Ask the office if you are unsure.
- Pay stubsEvery one you can find, especially around the problem dates.
- Your offer letterAnd any contract, handbook or policy you were given.
- Emails and texts about the problemScreenshots are fine. Keep the dates visible.
- Names of anyone who saw what happenedCo-workers, customers, anyone who can confirm your account.

Common questions
Is there a deadline to bring a claim?
Often, yes, and some are short. Call the office as soon as you can so the attorney can check the dates that apply to you.
Will my employer find out that I called?
No. What you tell the office stays confidential, and nothing is sent to your employer without your agreement.
What should I keep?
Pay stubs, your offer letter, emails and texts about the problem, and the names of anyone who saw what happened.
