What happened to you at work in Dallas was illegal, and the law is clearer in Texas now than it has ever been. Texas Senate Bill 45, in effect since 2021, removed the 15-employee floor for sexual harassment claims under state law, meaning even small Dallas restaurants, salons, and offices can be on the hook. Federal Title VII still applies on top of it. The hard part is timing: the EEOC charge deadline is as short as 180 days from the last harassing act for some claims. The firms below all represent employees in Dallas-area workplace sexual harassment, hostile work environment, and retaliation cases. Most work on contingency. Free consultations.
Reporting workplace sexual harassment to HR rarely fixes the problem. The reports tend to fix the person reporting. If any of the following has happened to you in a Dallas-area job, get a free consult before the deadlines run.
Dallas employee-side employment lawyers are a small specialty bar. Most general practice firms do not file employment cases against Dallas employers, and most firms that do represent employees take cases on contingency, which means they are choosy. Calling early is the right move. Document everything: dates, witnesses, screenshots, voicemails, texts. Keep copies somewhere your employer cannot reach.
Most Dallas employee-side sexual harassment firms work on contingency. You pay nothing up front. Standard structures:
Title VII and Texas Labor Code Chapter 21 both allow a winning plaintiff to recover attorneys' fees from the employer, which is one reason Dallas employee-side firms can take strong cases on contingency. Case costs (filing fees, depositions, expert witnesses) are usually advanced and reimbursed from any recovery. Always read the engagement letter; ask what happens if the case settles before suit is filed versus after.
Honest Dallas employment lawyers will give you a real range at the free consult based on the strength of the facts, what evidence you have preserved, and whether the employer has insurance coverage. Be skeptical of any firm that promises a number before reading the file.
