What We Do

Lady Law Shield works exclusively with law enforcement officers, first responders, and public employees in disputes with their own agencies.

Most officers who reach out are not looking to file a lawsuit. They are trying to understand what is happening to them, what their options are, and what to do this week. That is where the work starts. Some matters resolve with guidance and a plan. Others go further.

The firm is based in Texas and works with officers across the country on federal employment matters.

When your job is on the line

  • Wrongful Termination

    An officer is fired, forced out, or pressured to resign, and the firm reviews how it was handled.

  • Discrimination

    Treatment differs by sex, race, age, religion, or disability, and comparable officers show the difference.

  • Retaliation

    Discipline, reassignment, or lost overtime arrives after a complaint, and the timing between them matters

    Learn more

  • Harassment

    Conduct inside the agency crosses from unpleasant into unlawful, and the line between them is not obvious

Leave, pay, and protections

Family/Medical Leave Act

Leave is denied or interfered with, or discipline arrives soon after an officer returns to work. Learn more

Pregnancy & Nursing

Light duty is refused or accommodation denied, and federal protections for pregnant and nursing officers apply. Learn more

Claims for Unpaid Wages

Hours are worked off the clock or overtime goes unpaid, and federal wage law sets what is owed. Learn more

Brady/Giglio Strategy

  • Brady/Giglio Strategy

    A disclosure list designation restricts testimony and closes assignments, and it hardens the longer it sits. Learn more

  • Severance and Separation

    A severance agreement is on the table, and what an officer signs away there is usually permanent. Learn more

  • Contract Review and Negotiation

    Employment agreements, promotion terms, and separation documents get read before signature rather than after. Learn more
