Frisco Employment Attorney: Representing Employees
Employers have access to legal counsel when they need it; employees should too. It’s all too easy for employees to be uninformed, go unprotected and to have their rights violated in the workplace. There are legal protections for workers, but you have to be willing to pursue them.
Our Frisco employment lawyers work tirelessly to help employees protect their interests with employment contracts, and to defend the rights of employees who have suffered discrimination, sexual harassment, wage losses for unpaid overtime, retaliation and wrongful termination. We also assist clients with negotiating employment contracts and severance agreements.
When you need legal advice or an advocate in court for an employment-related grievance in Plano, Frisco, McKinney or Allen, Texas, contact Albin Oldner Law, PLLC or call (214) 225-4325.

- Tasks and duties
- Compensation
- Terms of payment
- Work hours and location

- Ownership of intellectual property – copyright, patent or trademark infringement

Enforceability of Non-Compete Agreements in Texas
Under Texas law, the restrictions in a non-compete agreement cannot surpass what is necessary to protect the business’s interest and must be reasonable in regards to time, geographical area, and scope of activity. If your employer attempts to enforce a non-compete agreement against you, let our employment law attorney review the contract for unfair and unenforceable terms.
Wage Theft and Overtime Claims
Have you lost money because your employer refused to pay overtime for hours worked? Did your employer require you to work before signing it or continue to work after signing out? Has your employer withheld money from your paycheck without your written consent? These are examples of wage theft – failing to pay for time worked – and it’s illegal.
