At William S. Hommel, Attorney at Law in Tyler, Texas, I understand that each situation has a unique set of circumstances. I encourage employees who feel they have been discriminated against to contact me for a free initial consultation. Together, you and I can determine whether or not the actions of your employer are a violation of employment rights. Should litigation be the best solution, I will vigorously assert your rights as a victim of workplace harassment or discrimination.
