A norther can blow through a job overnight
A norther is the cold front that turns a warm North Texas afternoon freezing by supper. A firing, a short paycheck or a quiet demotion lands the same way. We work for employees, and we start by working out what happened.
- Free first callto hear what happened
- No fee unless you recovercosts explained in writing
- Wednesday eveningsin Plano until 7 p.m.
- Three officesDallas, Fort Worth, Plano
If we take a case on a contingency, you owe no attorney fee unless money is recovered. Case costs, such as filing fees, are explained in writing before you sign and may still be owed.

What we handle
The fronts we see most
Four kinds of trouble send most people through our door. Pick the one that sounds like your week.
- Dry spell
Unpaid wages and overtime
Hours worked and not paid, tips kept back, overtime paid at the regular rate, or a final check that never came.
About pay claims - Pressure
Harassment
Comments, contact or a manager who will not stop, and a workplace that treats your complaint as the problem.
About harassment - Hail
Retaliation
Fired, cut or moved after you asked about pay, reported something or took leave. The timing is often the evidence.
About retaliation - Cold front
Severance and pushed out
A layoff, or a resignation offer with a paper to sign. We read it before you do.
About severance
Who answers
People who know this weather
A lawyer in each office, backed by a paralegal and an intake coordinator. You meet one lawyer first and keep that lawyer.
Alton Kuykendall
Managing partner, Dallas
Started in a payroll office, so he reads a pay stub the way a mechanic reads an engine.
Marva Abshire
Senior attorney, Fort Worth
A former nurse who handles harassment and retaliation for people on shifts.
Quynh Dang
Attorney, Plano
Wage claims and severance reviews, in English and Vietnamese.
Sample client notes
After the front passed
Sample notes an owner replaces with real ones.
“I thought the last two weeks of overtime were gone for good. Quynh sat down with my timesheets and showed me what I was owed.”
Darnell W.Warehouse team lead
“They told me plainly which parts of my story helped and which did not. I appreciated that more than a promise.”
Rosa M.Dental office manager
“The severance paper looked fair to me. Marva found the line that would have kept me from ever speaking up.”
Greg T.Account coordinator
Each client’s case is different. These samples don’t predict the result of yours.
