Oberti Sullivan’s mission is to provide vigorous, responsive, and peerless representation to employers, employees, and executives in employment law. They are small because they do all the work themselves, and they pick the cases they wish to work on. Since the Firm’s founding, Mark and Ed have obtained settlements and verdicts in the millions of dollars and defended companies of all sizes against all types of employment law claims. You do not hire them because you want just a “plaintiff” attorney or just a “defense” attorney. You hire them because you want a successful employment attorney in Houston to handle your case personally. They will shoot it to you straight and will represent you aggressively and professionally.
The Firm handles a wide range of employment cases, including high-level executive cases, as well as non-compete litigation, and a variety of other employment law matters, such as race discrimination, race harassment (including noose cases), retaliation, sex discrimination, sexual harassment, age discrimination, age harassment, disability (ADA) discrimination, and reasonable accommodation, whistleblower, FLSA (unpaid overtime and minimum wage), collective actions, Sarbanes-Oxley Act retaliation claims, Dodd-Frank Act retaliation claims, DOL audits and investigations, unpaid bonuses, and many other employment law cases in Houston and Texas.
