Workplace Discrimination

Fighting Against Employment Discrimination

McAllen Based Lawyer Serving South Texas and the Rio Grande Valley

Discrimination is a degrading experience. In the workplace, it is also illegal under Texas and federal laws. If you have been fired or mistreated at work based on your age, sex/gender, nationality, religion, race, disability, or other status, call the Law Office of Ricardo R. Godinez, P.C. in McAllen, Texas, for a free and confidential case evaluation. You may be entitled to compensation for back pay, front pay, mental anguish and punitive damages.

Attorney Ricardo Godinez is a former McAllen city commissioner who has recovered millions of dollars in compensation for his clients in South Texas and the Rio Grande Valley. Mr. Godinez handles all types of employment discrimination claims, including:

• Discrimination based on age
• Gender discrimination
• Racial discrimination
• Discrimination based on national origin.
• Failure to accommodate someone with a disability
• Religious discrimination
• Sexual orientation discrimination
• Reverse discrimination

Discrimination claims can be hard to prove. For example, when a company terminates an employee because he or she is over 50, they rarely leave a memo on the employee's desk stating the true reason for the termination. However, they will sometimes use code words such as wanting "fresh blood" that can be used to prove age discrimination in court. Mr. Godinez is an aggressive trial lawyer who will interview co-workers and look for evidence that you were treated differently from other employees.

In Texas, you must first go through an administrative process with the Texas Workforce Commission before you can file a lawsuit against your employer. This process can be confusing and intimidating. Mr. Godinez can assist you with that process, protect your rights, and help you determine whether you want to proceed with a lawsuit.
