Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a civil rights claim and a civil lawsuit in Texas?

A civil rights claim specifically involves the violation of a legally protected right — under the U.S. Constitution, federal civil rights statutes like 42 U.S.C. § 1983, Title VII, the ADA, or the Texas Labor Code. A civil lawsuit is any non-criminal legal dispute. Many civil rights claims are pursued through civil lawsuits in Harris County courts or the Southern District of Texas, but civil lawsuits also include contract disputes, property claims, and personal injury actions that may not involve civil rights statutes.

What is the EEOC process for employment discrimination in Houston?

To file a federal employment discrimination lawsuit under Title VII, you must first file a charge with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. The EEOC Houston Field Office is located at 1919 Smith Street, Suite 600. You generally have 300 days from the discriminatory act to file. After investigation, the EEOC may issue a Right to Sue letter, allowing you to file in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas within 90 days.

Can I represent myself in a civil rights case in Harris County?

You may represent yourself — known as proceeding pro se — in Texas state courts and federal court. However, civil rights cases often involve complex procedural requirements, qualified immunity defenses, and strict pleading standards under federal case law. Most pro se civil rights plaintiffs in the Southern District of Texas do not prevail. Consulting an attorney before filing significantly improves your chances of a successful outcome.

Working with this firm has been super easy. I’ve never had a lawsuit before, and they were very informative and made me feel at ease. Nick Stees was great at helping my case go smoothly. Would definitely recommend.

Seamless, Helpful and Timely Updates and Options. I was on vacation when I needed emergency assistance and they answered my concerns and provided me immediate assistance. I pray I never need them again, but I am so thankful for their support. Nick was always upfront with my situation and available options, even if that meant not moving forward with their services, and I appreciated that the most!

I would recommend Case Law Legal to any and everyone. I had a legal dispute with a loan company that I needed resolved and they handle the situation with grace and tack. I live out of state and the communication was impeccable. Thank you Casey and Nick for everything. I am forever so greatful.

I highly recommend Casey and his team. I have worked with Casey for the last several years and have the highest respect for him. Casey is the attorney that other attorneys come to when they need help. Casey is hardworking, knowledgeable, and an all around great attorney and person.

Muy bien servicio, great service and excellent help. Thank you so much for helping me get case dismissed. Recommend to all.

I worked with Casey in the past and what a blessing it has been to work with him. He treats his clients like family and really helped settle some accounts for way less with some creditors that were harassing me. Please go to his firm if you need help. He is a stand up guy and will fight for you.
