I am Paul Harris and I am proud to have represented workers ever since I graduated from law school. I come from a small town in the Texas Panhandle called Borger. I earned my bachelor’s degree in English, with Honors, from the University of Texas-Austin. As a law student at the University of Houston Law Center, I received the Yale Rosenberg Memorial Award for writing and served as a law clerk for the Houston office of Advocacy, Inc., (currently known as Disability Rights Texas), a federally created nonprofit that protects the legal rights of individuals with disabilities.. In my final year of law school, I became a clerk for a prominent employment law firm here in Houston, Butler & Harris. After graduating law school, I became an associate at Butler & Harris, where I stayed for 12 years.. While at Butler & Harris, I worked on several, groundbreaking cases, many of which were against local governments and various federal agencies. We helped overturn a blanket ban on individuals with diabetes that kept them from serving the State Department in the Foreign Service. We won a gender discrimination, pattern-and-practice trial against the City of Beaumont and its Police Department, achieving justice for our client who worked for so long to become a Detective. We won two disability discrimination trials against the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI): one on behalf of a person with diabetes who was wrongfully rejected as a Special Agent, and one for a person who went on to become the first FBI Special Agent with a prosthetic hand.. Along the way, I have represented individuals in almost every field of work and almost any place on the hierarchy; from police officers and municipal employees to oil and gas executives, nurses, restaurant workers, and beverage distributors.. My work for my clients takes on many different forms. I advise people about contract negotiations and severance agreements. I have represented clients in matters before both state and federal courts in Houston. I have extensive experience assisting clients through internal grievance processes. I have represented numerous local and federal governmental employees, including employees of the City of Houston, in litigation and before the Merit Systems Protection Board. I have also successfully represented numerous clients and small businesses with claims for Unemployment Benefits through the Texas Workforce Commission.. I am admitted to practice law in the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, the United States District Court for the Eastern and Southern District of Texas, and all Texas state courts. I handle cases under various state and federal laws, including Title VII, the Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”), the Rehabilitation Act (Section 504), the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (“ADEA”), the Family and Medical Leave Act (“FMLA”), the Texas Commission on Human Rights Act, and Texas laws that prohibit retaliation against daycare workers and nursing home workers.. I served as the President of the Houston Chapter of the National Employment Lawyers Association, where I helped organize and emcee monthly educational luncheons for local plaintiff’s employment lawyers. I am a member of the Labor and Employment Law Section of the State Bar of Texas and the Labor and Employment Law Section of the Houston Bar Association. I am a member of the Texas Employment Lawyers Association (TELA), founded in part by my former boss, Margaret Harris, as well as the National Employment Lawyers Association (NELA).. I have conducted training sessions for private sector companies, and I am a regular guest speaker at the University of Houston-Downtown’s Paralegal Certificate Program. I enjoy speaking at nearby schools on the importance of jury duty as part of the Houston Bar Association’s Speakers Bureau.

I am an attorney and counselor who practices employment law exclusively. The overwhelming majority of my practice is representing workers and employees who have suffered discrimination in the workplace, wrongful termination, or been subjected to other illegal practices in the workplace. I am passionate about representing my clients, and work hard to tell their stories and see that they are treated fairly under the law. I have successfully prosecuted many discrimination and retaliation actions under federal and state laws, including Title VII, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Pregnancy Discrimination Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, federal and state whistleblower statutes, and in constitutional and civil rights claims under Section 1983, as well as common law actions for breach of contract and related claims. If you are dealing with harassment or retaliation in the workplace, I will work with you to guide you in taking the right steps to preserve and fight your case and represent you in settlement negotiations, throughout the administrative process, and in court to reach the best result for you.. I have successfully represented clients in litigation matters in state and federal court across Texas. I also routinely represent clients in mediation to negotiate successful case outcomes, including claims arising from unlawful racial and sexual harassment. In addition to the State of Texas, I am licensed to practice in the United States District Courts for the Southern, Eastern and Western Districts of Texas, and the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. I also represent clients before the Department of Labor, including on whistleblower retaliation claims under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission; and the Texas Workforce Commission. In addition, I have worked on several state- and nation-wide collective actions seeking overtime and minimum wage pay under the Fair Labor Standards Act.. I am Board Certified in Labor and Employment Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. In 2024, I received the honor of being named a Super Lawyer® (a Thomson Reuters service). I was previously named as a Rising Star by Thomson Reuters from 2021-2023.. I am currently on the Board of the Houston chapter of the National Employment Lawyers Association (NELA-Houston) and I previously served as President of NELA-Houston. I am also a member of other local organizations including the Houston Trial Lawyers Association, the Texas Employment Lawyers Association, and the Houston Bar Association.. I received my J.D. from the University of Houston Law Center, where I joined the Order of the Barons honors society and served as Associate Editor of the Houston Law Review. I also interned with the National Labor Relations Board, the Harris County District Attorney's Office, and the Texas First and Fourteenth Courts of Appeals. Before law school, I worked as a violinist and performed with the Houston Grand Opera, the Houston Symphony, and various other local and national performing groups and music festivals.. I started working for SLS as a law clerk during my studies at the University of Houston Law Center. After graduation, I joined the firm as an associate and have been fortunate since to work with a team of talented lawyers and support staff who share the same passion and dedication for justice in the workplace. If you believe that you have been wrongly terminated, suffered discrimination on the job, or simply have a question about your rights under the law, please do not hesitate to call or contact my office. I would be happy to speak with you.

I am a trial lawyer dedicated to helping executives and others protect their rights. You worked hard for your position, salary, and benefits (stock, health insurance, etc.), and I'll work just as hard to protect them. Since 1994, our Firm has negotiated thousands of settlements, including severance packages, for executives, "c"-level officers, senior-level management, and others. You will want a seasoned trial lawyer handling your negotiations from the beginning so that you are fully protected in the event you find yourself in litigation -- which is typically an avenue of last resort. You will also want an attorney undaunted by the people trampling your rights. I have taken the depositions of CEOs, judges, mayors, police chiefs, company owners, chairmen of boards of directors, and others who oftentimes act like they are above the law. This experience is a reality check for many when they are called to task under oath and the truth is exposed. Since graduating from South Texas College of Law in 1993, I'd say that, other than negotiating settlements, the cross examination of witnesses (at trial and at deposition) is my favorite thing to do.Of equal import, our Firm has a great reputation among employment defense lawyers in Texas and across the United States. We have worked hard since establishing the Firm in 1994 to earn and protect our good name, so we know what's at stake when your employer attempts to take yours from you. Although some of our case successes are listed on this web site, feel free to call me to discuss our Firm's specific experience handling cases involving issues such as yours. For example, just recently I won a $3.2 million sexual harassment verdict against a former judge. For that victory, I was named "Litigator of the Week" by Texas Lawyer. I also have the honor of having handled a whistleblower lawsuit involving the City of Houston, Texas, which resulted in what I believe is the largest such jury verdict against the City. My client, Sam Levingston, was awarded in excess of $1.2 million, plus attorney's fees. I have also successfully handled multi-state class action claims against Starbucks and Brinker International. These are not meant to be fully inclusive, nor as guarantees of success, but are a reflection of the commitment I make to each case I accept. Whether your issue involves Sarbanes-Oxley, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, state-enacted whistleblower laws, discrimination, breach of employment contracts, or wage violations (including class actions), I will dedicate the Firm's resources to protect your rights.Although I was born in Chicago, the fine State of Texas has been my home since 1977. I am licensed to practice law in Texas, and in other federal jurisdictions. If a case involves people or issues in other states, we'll travel or retain local counsel to ensure we are on a level playing field. No matter what you decide, I want you to find counsel with whom you fit. You should select a law firm with deep, relevant experience. Please call or email me so that we can explore whether Shellist Lazarz Slobin, LLP can be of assistance.
