Questions
Does filling out the form make you my lawyer?
No. Submitting the form, or paying for a consultation, doesn't mean the firm represents you. The firm represents you only after we both sign an engagement agreement.
Is what I tell you confidential?
Yes. We treat what you share as confidential, as the ethics rules require for people who consult a lawyer. Read our privacy notice for details.
What deadlines should I know about?
In Texas, a charge with the EEOC generally must be filed within 300 days of the discriminatory act, and a complaint with the Texas Workforce Commission within 180 days (300 days for sexual harassment). If you received a Notice of Right to Sue, you generally have 90 days to file a lawsuit. If a deadline may be close, call us at (832) 345-3000. More about Texas EEOC deadlines.
What happens after I pay for a consultation?
You'll get a receipt by email. We'll contact you within one business day to schedule. The attorney will have your answers before you talk.
Is this the EEOC's website?
No. EEOC Helper is run by The Craighead Law Firm, PLLC, a private law firm in Houston. You can also contact the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission directly at eeoc.gov.
