Austin, we have a problem…read more.. In the field of employment law its no secret the deck is stacked in favor of companies. The US remains one of the least employee-friendly free countries in the world so looking out for your own interests can seem daunting and lonely. That's why you need the right help. I've used Ms Ward for employment advice and appreciate that she's factual and shares what she thinks might not be possible as well as what is. Too many attorneys are happy to string you along - provided you pay the appropriate retainer of course - and not tell you the reality about a proposed action you're considering. Ms Ward gives it to you clearly - as much as anyone can prior to litigation. When I seek counsel I look for experience, intelligence and empathy. Someone who sees the bigger picture, lays out options to consider and clearly articulates risks and likelihoods without a lot of emotional fear-stoking. That's why I'm happy I found her. If you think you might have an employment action on your hands, do yourself a favor: call Ms Ward's office.

I worked with The Kaplan Group for more than six months while navigating a challenging employment…read moresituation, and I consistently felt well represented throughout the process. My initial intake was with Austin Kaplan, who was exceptionally knowledgeable about the law but, just as importantly, provided clear, real-world insight into what I should realistically expect. He was direct, fair, and accurate in managing expectations, which helped me make informed decisions without feeling misled or overpromised at any point. Andrew Eckhaus and Madeline were both excellent to work with. They were responsive, thoughtful, and thorough, and I always felt that my questions and concerns were taken seriously. Their guidance was practical, well reasoned, and grounded in a strong understanding of the law. I also appreciated how easy it was to schedule meetings using their online system--it was efficient and respectful of my time. The firm's compensation structure felt transparent and fair, and I never felt pressured or price-gouged. Overall, I felt treated fairly and professionally from start to finish. The Kaplan Group demonstrated strong legal expertise, sound judgment, and a clear focus on serving their clients' best interests. I would recommend them to anyone looking for experienced and principled legal representation.

If I could give Kaplan Law Firm, PLLC 0 Stars, I would. Sadly, that is not an option for YELP. I…read morehired Austin Kaplan, the Owner and Lead Attorney for Kaplan Law Firm PLLC, ABOUT around 3 weeks ago, for an initial consultation regarding an employment rights case at a Fortune 500 Company. He was apathetic, dismissive, and one of the most negative people I have ever spoken with in my entire life. I paid $900 for this initial consultation, provided a relevant case with objective evidence that could lead to a serious violation with the Americans with Disabilities Act, and Equal Employment Opportunities. His advice was simple. Corporations in the United States, specifically in Texas, are "at-will", meaning that they are able to fire you for any reason whatsoever without explanation. Despite mounting evidence of mistreatment, abuse, racial profiling, retaliation, unsafe working conditions, abusive and intentional work deprivation, and sham performance evaluations written in bad faith by the executives and owners of the employer.. Austin Kaplan decided to spend the entire hour long consultation telling me to look for another career, and that I was going to be fired immediately that day. In fact, he began to advise that I should IMMEDIATELY search for a new job, or go request FMLA, and then told me I was going to be fired no matter what after returning to work if I were to request FMLA. Mind you, I hired him after he accepted numerous lengthy intake forms over the course of my tenure documenting the evidence and describing the mistreatment and potential constitutional violations that I have experienced during my tenure at my employer. He was rude to me, belittled me, and instead of following up as he had promised, he completely ghosted me after forcing confidential sensitive data that was meant only for his view, directly to his secretary, Galicia Lopez, instead of allowing me to send it directly to his address, where I could password-protect this information for data privacy concerns. If you are an employee seeking advice on how to combat unconstitutional mistreatment from your employer in the state of Texas. PLEASE I ADVISE YOU TO SEEK ANY OTHER EMPLOYMENT LAW FIRM. If the owner himself is unable to follow up on his clients, this is not a reputable law firm whatsoever, and I have serious questions about his ability to maintain attorney-client confidentiality. In addition, he decided to continue taunting me past our scheduled 1-hour long consultation. I offered multiple times to pay him for the extra 45 minutes that he spent treating me horribly and continuing to taunt me. In summary, if you are seeking legal advice for employment law, Austin Kaplan will be your choice if you want to be told that you actually do not have any rights in the state of Texas, and private corporations are allowed to treat their employees in any so which way they choose, even as a modern slave.

His pricing was very reasonable, considering he saved me many thousands of dollars with the contract he was able to end early. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thank you, Jack!

I did not want to commit any kind of unemployment fraud, and since the TWC was impossible to get on the phone I felt I was forced to hire legal help. The whole situation with TWC just made me nervous and not at ease at all. I needed some clarity. John's assistant called me up the very next day after I sent an email to them. I was super impressed because I also contacted 2 other law firms who never contacted me. I was set up with an appointment over the phone the very next day and John dedicated 45+ minutes to hear me out. He gave me great advice and calmed the confusion on my side down a lot. I felt better about everything right away. 2 weeks later, after I had done my payment request with TWC, which included reporting that extra unexpected income, John followed up with me to make sure I felt taken care of and that I was doing ok. He didn't have to do that, but he did. I really appreciate his time and expertise, and the help of his assistant. John was straight-up, easy to understand, a good listener and his services were affordable. I'm glad I contacted The Melton Law Firm, as I wanted to be sure I was playing by the rules. It all worked out. Thanks John :)

David Schupp handled my case, and I could not be happier with my experience. He communicated often, answered all of my questions quickly, and always kept me updated.

David genuinely cared about my well-being and always checked in to make sure I was doing okay. I never felt rushed, and it was easy to reach him whenever I had questions. FVF Law also goes above and beyond for their clients, even sending me a birthday gift and hosting fun raffles for local events, like Austin FC games! I am very happy with the outcome and highly recommend FVF Law, especially if you get the chance to work with David Schupp!!!
