Our Age Discrimination Lawyers Fight For EmployeesThe Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (“ADEA”) prohibits employers from discriminating against employees based on age. Additionally, the Texas Labor Code protects employees who are age 40 or older from employment discrimination based on the employees age. Most employers are prohibited from committing age discrimination. Our

Contact our age discrimination lawyers if you are a victim of age discrimination in the workplace.
Layoff Discrimination Because of AgeOur
employment lawyers fight against employers who mask their age discrimination as layoffs. Layoffs can be a tricky issue for employers because older workers have rights under the Older Worker Benefit Protection Act (“OWBPA”). The OWBPA forces employers to give employees over the age of 40 seven days to revoke severance agreement. Employers who violate the OWBPA may be sued for age discrimination. Plus, the employee is allowed to keep the settlement funds. Contact our
age discrimination lawyers for assistance with a OWBPA related claim.

age discrimination lawyers represent employees who have been unlawfully retaliated against. An employer may not retaliate against an employee for opposing age discrimination, filing an age discrimination EEOC charge, testifying, or participating in any way in an investigation, proceeding, or for bringing an age discrimination suit under the ADEA. If you have been retaliated against for these reasons, contact our age discrimination lawyers immediately.
