Our Services
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 employment matters under federal law.
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.
Harassment
Conduct inside the agency crosses from unpleasant into unlawful, and the line between them is not obvious.
