    Employment Lawyer in Houston : Practical Help When Work Goes Wrong

    Why Choose a Houston-Based Employment Lawyer?

    Houston’s court system can be challenging, especially when dealing with employment disputes. That’s why it matters to have a lawyer who understands how local judges, employers, and opposing counsel approach FLSA and Texas Labor Code claims.

    At The Lange Firm, we offer:

    • Familiarity with the Southern District of Texas and its procedures

    • Experience handling cases in Harris County, Fort Bend County, and surrounding courts

    • Insight into how Houston employers defend wage disputes

    • Legal strategies shaped by real, local courtroom experience

    We know what arguments typically succeed in Houston courts, what evidence judges expect to see, and how to navigate the system efficiently—giving you a real advantage when pursuing the pay you’re owed.

    What It’s Like to Work With Us

    Step 1: Paid Consultation

    We start with a clear, honest conversation. You’ll meet directly with our lead counsel, Evan Lange, not a screener or chatbot. We’ll listen, review any documents you have, and walk you through your legal options. There’s no pressure—just practical guidance.

    Step 2: Investigation & Strategy

    If we move forward together, we’ll dig into the details. That means reviewing emails, contracts, pay records, and timelines. From there, we build a personalized strategy—one that fits your goals, timeline, and risk level.

    Step 3: Resolution

    Every case is different. Some resolve through a simple letter or phone call. Others go through mediation, negotiation, or litigation. No matter the path, we keep you informed and in control every step of the way.

    Real-World Example: Wrongful Termination After Leave

    Let’s say you took time off under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) to care for a sick parent. You gave notice, followed HR procedures, and returned ready to work—only to find your job “eliminated.” It happens more often than you’d think.

    In cases like these, we help clients gather evidence, negotiate reinstatement or severance, and file legal claims if needed. The goal isn’t just to “win” a case—it’s to protect your career and peace of mind.
