Whistleblower Lawyer in Texas: Protecting Those Who Speak the Truth

Speaking up against illegal or unethical practices in the workplace isn’t easy. It takes courage—and sometimes it comes at a cost. If you’ve been punished for doing the right thing, a skilled whistleblower lawyer can help you fight back, protect your rights, and seek justice.

At The Lange Firm, we proudly represent Texas employees who have faced retaliation for exposing wrongdoing. Whether you reported discrimination, fraud, safety violations, or financial misconduct, our whistleblower attorneys are ready to stand with you—and for you.

What Is a Whistleblower?

A whistleblower is an employee, contractor, or insider who reports illegal, fraudulent, unethical, or dangerous behavior occurring within a business, organization, or government agency.

Common types of misconduct reported by whistleblowers include:

  • Financial fraud or embezzlement

  • Violations of safety laws (OSHA violations)

  • Discrimination or harassment based on protected characteristics

  • Healthcare fraud under Medicare or Medicaid

  • Environmental law violations

  • Retaliation against employees who assert legal rights

Whistleblowers are crucial to maintaining transparency and accountability in the workplace—but unfortunately, many face retaliation after coming forward.

What Laws Protect Whistleblowers in Texas?

Several federal and state laws protect whistleblowers from retaliation:

What Counts as Retaliation?

Retaliation can take many forms, including:

  • Wrongful termination

  • Demotion

  • Salary cuts or loss of benefits

  • Harassment or isolation

  • Negative performance reviews

  • Transfer to undesirable assignments

  • Blacklisting from future employment opportunities

If your employer took any adverse action against you because you reported misconduct, you may have a strong legal claim.

What Should You Do If You Experience Retaliation?

If you believe you’re being retaliated against for whistleblowing:

✅ 1. Document Everything

Keep records of:

  • Your original complaint or report

  • Emails, texts, or memos related to the complaint

  • Dates and details of any retaliatory acts

  • Witnesses who observed the retaliation

✅ 2. Follow Internal Procedures (If Safe)

Many companies have whistleblower policies. File complaints internally if you feel safe doing so.

✅ 3. Contact a Whistleblower Lawyer Immediately

Timing matters. Some claims have short deadlines, and early legal advice can protect your case.

📞 The Lange Firm offers confidential consultations to whistleblowers—so you can get advice without risking further retaliation.
