Houston Employment Law Attorney
Dedicated Advocates for Unfair Treatment in the Workplace
At Shellist Lazarz Slobin, our passion is to protect our clients’ rights in employment matters. Our Houston employment law attorneys have the experience, energy, and resources needed to achieve timely, satisfactory results. Our practice encompasses all areas of employment law, from the most straightforward legal matters to complex litigation.
As a full-service firm in Houston focused on employment law, we handle everything from single-session reviews of contracts to extensive lawsuits in state and federal courts. Our employment lawyers recognize, however, that litigation should only be pursued as a last resort. Whether you are a high-powered CEO, a President of your own company, or simply seeking counsel on a more basic level for a wage or hour dispute, look no further than our team. We will first pursue swifter solutions through such means as negotiation or filing complaints with a government agency.
