If you are experiencing a problem at work, don't wait to contact a lawyer. Your job is worth protecting.
In Texas, discrimination is illegal in the workplace. If you have been fired or mistreated at work based on your age, sex/gender, nationality, race, religious beliefs, or because of a disability, you may be entitled to compensation for back pay, front pay, mental anguish and punitive damages.
Sexual harassment in the workplace can be as direct as a boss who demands sex in exchange for a promotion. It can also be a work environment where female employees are exposed to degrading experiences such as vulgar jokes or pornographic pictures. In either case, you have a right to work free of sexual harassment and discrimination.
If you have suffered a serious injury in a car accident, a personal injury lawyer can help you prove your losses in a court of law and recover enough compensation to meet your needs now and in the future. If you try to settle your claim by yourself, you might not end up with enough compensation to cover your future needs.
Trucking companies are required to carry a high amount of insurance to cover the extensive damage they can cause. However, their insurance companies won’t pay a large claim willingly. It takes an aggressive personal injury lawyer to help you recover the compensation you deserve.
When a family member is killed by the negligence of a business or another individual, the civil justice system can help you get the answers you need and hold the responsible party accountable.
Attorney Ricardo Godinez has been involved in some of the most significant and highly publicized contamination cases in South Texas.

The case was highly controversial and received much publicity within the community.
Texas DWI Defense
While it may be expensive to hire a lawyer to defend you from drunk driving charges, the cost of not hiring a lawyer is usually much higher. A DWI conviction can result in the loss of your driver's license, your money and your freedom. In addition, your license may be suspended even before you are convicted, which could seriously affect your ability to earn a living.
There is no such thing as a minor drug charge — any conviction will result in a permanent criminal record, suspension of your driver's license and loss of eligibility for student loans. Major drug charges can mean the loss of a good portion of your life behind prison bars.
Our commercial practice encompasses any issue a small- or medium-size business may face, including drafting and enforcing contracts, interpreting and drafting non-compete agreements, defending property interests and enforcing the rights of owners.
