Marshal H.
Sorry to toot my own horn, but I'm not your average lawyer. I graduated in the TOP 1% of my class from one of the nation's top law schools (Berkeley Law). I received eight awards for the HIGHEST GRADE in individual courses, including Constitutional Law, Advanced Legal Research, and Advanced Legal Writing. I worked for three years at a top-flight litigation boutique, where my clients included billion-dollar, household-name companies. I started my own law firm two years ago. Why? Because I wanted to help REAL PEOPLE, not just big companies. I win big cases on behalf of people who were done wrong by businesses, employers, and others. I am more than qualified to advise on any dispute, and am particularly experienced in matters related to digital commerce and consumer protection. Let's go get justice, together.

Employee Rights
Employee Separation Agreement
Texas
Employee separation agreement non-compete clauses?
I recently left my job, and my former employer presented me with an Employee Separation Agreement, which includes a non-compete clause. I am concerned about the implications of signing such an agreement and would like to know what my rights are in regards to this clause. I am worried that signing this agreement could limit my future job prospects.
Brit B.
Depending on the scope of the non-compete clause, it could substantially limit your future job prospects. Is the non-compete limited: in time? In industry? In geographical area? To certain competitors? You can certainly negotiate the scope of the clause with your former employer so that your ability to find a similar job is not too restricted. If your employer insists upon a non-compete that is too strict, you should consider whether the severance amount being offered is worth the loss of freedom for your future job hunt.
Employee Rights
Physician Employment Agreement
Texas
Physician employment agreement confidentiality?
I have recently accepted a position as a physician at a new practice and I have been asked to sign an employment agreement. I am interested in understanding what type of confidentiality is required in this agreement, as I do not want to compromise any of the practice's confidential information. I would like to know what the agreement states about confidentiality and what the consequences are for any breach of confidentiality.
Mark D.
This would require a review of the agreement. The typical cost for such a review is $750 but can cost more depending on the complexity of the issues involved.
Employee Rights
Noncompete Agreement
Texas
Noncompete agreement and moonlighting?
I am an employee at a company that has recently asked me to sign a noncompete agreement. I am considering doing so, but I am concerned about whether or not the agreement would prevent me from taking on additional freelance work outside of my normal job. I am interested in moonlighting and need to know if a noncompete agreement would limit my ability to do so.
Curt L.
If you moonlighting work is in the same business and same market, it is almost certainly prohibited by a noncompete agreement.
Employee Rights
Severance Agreement
Texas
Severance agreement and reduction in force?
I recently received a severance agreement from my employer that included a reduction in force. I am unsure of the implications of this, as I am not sure if I am still entitled to benefits or other compensations associated with my former employment. I would like to better understand my rights and responsibilities under the agreement.
Mark D.
I am happy to review and discuss the severance agreement with you. On average, the cost associated with a review can be anywhere from $525+ depending on the complexity of the issue.
Employee Rights
Employee Separation Agreement
Texas
Employee separation agreement and COBRA benefits?
I recently left my job and I was given a severance package that included a Employee Separation Agreement. I am trying to understand what my rights are in regards to continuing my health insurance coverage under COBRA. I am trying to determine if my former employer will pay for any of my COBRA premiums and if I am eligible for any additional benefits under the Employee Separation Agreement.
Mark D.
The opportunity to continue benefits after the termination of an employment relationship is required under COBRA if your employer has 20 or more employees. COBRA further requires that notice must be sent to former qualified employees with instructions on how the former employee can elect to participate in such benefits, the deadlines for making such an election, and the cost of making the election to continue benefits. Unless the separation agreement provides specifically for the payment of the COBRA premium, the cost of continuing benefits is going to be the sole responsibility of the former employee and those premiums must be made in the time periods specified.

Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
View Trustpilot ReviewContracts Counsel was incredibly helpful and easy to use. I submitted a project for a lawyer's help within a day I had received over 6 proposals from qualified lawyers. I submitted a bid that works best for my business and we went forward with the project.
View Trustpilot ReviewI never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.
View Trustpilot ReviewI got 5 bids within 24h of posting my project. I choose the person who provided the most detailed and relevant intro letter, highlighting their experience relevant to my project. I am very satisfied with the outcome and quality of the two agreements that were produced, they actually far exceed my expectations.
