For 20 years, we have litigated on behalf of businesses and individuals in Montgomery County, the Greater Houston area, and across the nation. Our firm handles complex business litigation and employment matters before governmental administrative agencies and in the state and federal courts. A graduate of South Texas College of Law, principal attorney Michael A. Starzyk has been in practice for over 25 years, living and working in Houston and The Woodlands, Texas.
Mike recognized during the early days of his practice that employment law was an area that was severely underserved. His instincts have proven correct. Since the early 2000's the firm has secured a number of 7-figure settlements involving the FLSA, and garnered multiple wins for clients experiencing harassment and discrimination. Mike serves corporate clients as well by educating them on best practices and at times, navigating difficult human resource matters.

In 2019, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) received more than 70,000 complaints of workplace discrimination.
Unfortunately, despite the number of laws that have been put in place, discrimination continues to be a rampant issue and perhaps most dramatically in our places of employment.
Discrimination in the workplace occurs when an employee is treated less favorably than others because of a personal attribute ranging from sex to age to national origin and more.
Employers need to monitor their workplaces carefully to ensure a discrimination-free environment, and where discrimination exists, employees have the right to seek legal redress.

Have you been terminated from a job for what you perceive to be all the wrong reasons?
If so, you may be able to pursue a wrongful termination claim.
Though Texas is an at-will employment state, meaning that your employer can re you for any reason or no reason at all, state and federal laws protect you if the termination came as a result of discrimination, disability, retaliation, sexual harassment, or other protected characteristics or actions.
If you feel you have been wrongfully discharged, Starzyk & Associates can help.

A non-compete agreement is generally an employment agreement whose purpose is to limit an employee's post-employment activities and protect an employer's proprietary information and trade secrets.
Non-compete agreements aim to prevent an employee from working in the area of the employer's trade or industry and to prevent a former employee from soliciting an employer's customers.
In the past, these agreements were difficult for an employer to enforce.
However, recent changes in the law have made these agreements much easier to enforce.
