Firm: Dupree Law Firm, PLLC
2800 Post Oak Blvd. , Houston , Texas 77056
Practice Areas: Employment & Labor
I began my legal career in the management services division of a large, publicly-traded real estate investment trust. In this role I was responsible for the recruitment, hiring, evaluation, promotion and coaching of all employees reporting to me. As a member of the management team, I was driven to learn everything that I could about employment law to protect the company from liability. During this process I learned that many employment laws are so complex that they often provide no protection for employees at all. I wanted to do something to make sure that employees were treated fairly in our legal system. So, in 2006 I established the Dupree Law Firm with a valuable perspective on how companies approach employment law claims.. I am proud to have represented Texas employees for over a decade in cases before the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”), in state and federal court and in private arbitrations. I am confident that my unique background has produced favorable results for my clients. The best part of my job is helping employees who have traditionally been shut out of the legal system get the justice that they deserve.. I am a proud graduate of Florida State University where I completed both my undergraduate and law school education. I am licensed to practice law before state courts in Texas and before federal courts including the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, the Northern District of Texas, the Eastern District of Texas and the United States Court of Appeal for the Fifth Circuit.. Outside the office I enjoy spending time with my wife, our two wonderful children and our feisty Miniature Schnauzer.

2727 Allen Pkwy #600 , Houston , Texas 77019
Practice Areas: Employment & Labor
Before going to law school I worked in construction, and thereafter in the oil and gas industry. As a result, I experienced significant workplace harassment and discrimination. Because of these experiences I dedicated my life to preventing such discrimination and harassment, (as well as the retaliation workers sometimes face when making complaints about such acts). I focused my legal education on Labor and Employment matters, and after getting out of law school in 1993, I went to work in the Labor and Employment section for the City Attorney's Office in Houston, and then I went to work in Dallas for the largest Labor & Employment firm in the country. I became Board Certified in Labor & Employment Law by the Texas State Bar in 1999, and in 2002 I started focusing my practice on helping employees that have been illegally treated in the workplace. You will not find a lawyer that is more dedicated to protecting employees that have been subjected to illegal treatment in the workplace.

Practice Areas: Employment & Labor
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.

Mo's diverse caseload enables him to grasp complex legal and factual issues in his cases.

Mo's success has earned him the highest levels of respect with clients and peers in a wide range of fields; in particular, the oil and gas industry, financial service companies, engineering and architectural firms, and the automotive industry. This high level of success in the courtroom and respect garnered outside of it, has led Mo to being selected for inclusion on the Texas Super Lawyers list since 2003, the Top 100: Houston Super Lawyers list since 2016, and the Top 100: Texas Super Lawyers list in 2017 and 2019..

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.

I employ every tenet of the law to ensure my clients enjoy dignity in their workplace or damages due.. I take pride in being a part of a very small fraternity of lawyers, idealist heaven-bent on correcting injustice. If I take your case it is because I wholeheartedly believe you have suffered a grave injustice and I am committed to helping you secure your entitlements enshrined in the law.. If you have suffered discrimination, wage abuse, sexual harassment, retaliation and/or any form of mistreatment at the hands of your employer and you would like redress, then I am probably the attorney for you.
