San Antonio Employment Law Blog : San Antonio Employment Lawyer & Attorney : Thomas Crane Law Firm : South Texas, Bexar County TX Wage & Discrimination Issues

 Aaron Ramirez in Dallas discusses the issues in finding a plaintiff employment lawyer.  Aaron is a plaintiff employment lawyer in Dallas.  He adds to what I said previously.   He presents some very helpful information.  This info is just as true for San Antonio and South Texas as it is for Dallas and North Texas.  

I cannot emphasize enough that an employee needing a lawyer needs to start looking as early as possible.  Too many good cases have been lost because the individual waited until they received the right-to-sue letter and then waited too long *after* receiving the RTS letter.  The best time to start looking is right after the adverse personnel action, or even sooner if possible.  

Everything Aaron says is right on.

 Rio Grande attorney, Aaron Ramirez, explains nicely the problems with seeking redress for wage violations from the Department of Labor.  As he says, its better to seek relief through a private attorney.

Aaron points out for example that DOL does not normally seek liquidated damages.  Liquidated damages is a phrase referring to monies used to compensate the victim of a wage issue for emotional issues and to help punish the employer.  

In my own experience, DOL does little more than *maybe* issue a finding that the employer has violated the Fair Labor Standards Act (the minimum wage law).
