EEOC and Texas Workforce Commission Claim Response

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) enforce and prosecute cases under federal anti-discrimination laws that protect against discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, including sex stereotypes, pregnancy, gender identity, and sexual orientation, national origin, age (40 or older), disability, or genetic information.

Litigation under the EEOC, or even a mere allegation of discrimination, has the potential to ruin your company's reputation and consequently bring in extra and unwelcome media attention. Hence, it is necessary to put precise anti-discrimination measures into practice to prevent such occurrences.

At Mijares Law Firm, I specialize in consultation on creating anti-discrimination policies and procedures. I also help businesses navigate the complexities of responding to EEOC and TWC claims.

Kristin did a great job in helping me understand a very complicated legal issue. She also advised me, beyond the scope of the issue, on business law matters in general. I would recommend her to anyone facing a confusing legal problem with their business.

How Mijares Law Can Help Your Business Respond to EEOC Lawsuits

In most circumstances, the EEOC will ask the company to provide a position statement together with supporting documents. This is a critical phase in your response plan. A well-written position statement that focuses on facts backed by documentation can help in the dismissal of the claim.

At Mijares Law Firm, I are always willing to advise you on how to compose an accurate position statement.

I ensure that your response is comprehensive and meets all EEOC guidelines:

Addressing each alleged discriminatory act
Providing a clear description of your organization
Incorporating specific practices, policies, or procedures.
Internal investigation reports and grievances hearing results
Suggesting possible solutions if possible

Our legal consultants can also assist you in navigating the EEOC mediation and settlement procedure, which is confidential and cost-effective. Our effective legal consultation will also prevent your company from incurring the cost of a trial.

Contact Kristin Mijeres to learn more about EEOC mediation and settlement options.

Case Studies

Oil & Gas Executive

A company executive had to take several days of medical leave after his son suddenly fell ill. However, while on leave, his company suddenly fired him, claiming his work had recently been sub-par. The company’s excuse that they had not illegally infringed on his protected medical leave did not hold water, and it chose to instead offer a settlement not long after the case was filed.

Human Resources/Service Industry

A store clerk needed several weeks of medical leave after she suffered complications following a routine surgery. When she was due to return to work, her employer fired her, alleging she had failed to submit the required paperwork to ensure her medical leave was “protected.” Kristin Mijares filed suit for retaliation and wrongful termination and negotiated a substantial settlement for the clerk’s damages and emotional distress.

Business Counseling

Kristin Mijares counseled a prominent Dallas physician’s group on how to handle problem employees, complaints of discrimination or harassment, partnership disputes, terminations, or discipline. Ms. Mijares also drafted personnel handbooks, employment agreements, separation agreements and restrictive covenants. In addition, she handled the group’s employment defense negotiations and litigation and offered litigation support to in-house counsel.
