Description

RETALIATION CLAIMS We defend employers against Title VII discrimination and retaliation claims. Our attorneys have extensive experience in winning and/or successfully settling these types of claims. In a recent case, we helped our client, an employer in the technology industry, win a unanimous jury verdict dismissing a former employee's allegations that the employer retaliated against the employee by failing to promote the employee and by including the employee in a reduction in force.

The United States Constitution is the foundation of American law, and few law firms have equal experience to Bickerstaff Heath in dealing with how that important document controls the rights and responsibilities of governmental entities in Texas. We have built our reputation successfully litigating on behalf of public clients in cases involving the right to vote, the right to due process, and the other rights granted by the Constitution. In addition, our law firm has extensive experience in defending clients in civil rights litigation, in property rights matters and in the employment context.

Many of our public clients serve the important function of providing water and wastewater service to their citizens. Our litigators have experience in helping clients protect their rights to provide that service. Recently, our attorneys prosecuted one of the few cases in which a city has successfully obtained a federal injunction to prevent a special utility district from obtaining a federal loan that could have given the district a forty-year monopoly over service area in the city limits.

VOTING RIGHTS ACT LITIGATION Bickerstaff Heath has successfully defended numerous cases involving alleged violations of the federal Voting Rights Act, and our practice includes matters before the federal district courts in all four Texas districts and in the District of Columbia, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, and the United States Supreme Court. In addition, the firm has advised more than one hundred governmental entities on voting districts and has prepared hundreds of submissions to the Department of Justice.

Bickerstaff Heath respects the critical importance of a school's proper compliance with Section 504 and the IDEA. From Child Find to Transition, we provide comprehensive guidance for accommodating and providing appropriate services to students with physical and learning disabilities.
