Standing Up Against Gender Discrimination
Since 1964, federal law has outlawed discrimination in employment on the basis of one’s sex. But nearly half a century later, inequality and sexism still pervade many workplaces — in hiring, in the pay gap, in gender roles and in virtually every facet of employment.
If you believe that you suffered adversely from gender discrimination in employment, The Womack Law Firm can pursue your legal remedies. The Houston employment law practice has successfully represented women (and men) in Harris County and throughout Texas.
Let Mark T. Womack protect your rights and work toward a solution to your gender discrimination case. Contact him today to schedule a confidential consultation.
