We aggressively defend the rights of employees in Texas and across the nation who have individual and class-wide civil rights, discrimination and harassment claims based on race, gender, disability, national origin, religion, and age, as well as retaliation, whistleblower, and wage disputes.
Is your work environment a hostile one? We believe everyone should have a fair and just working environment. Don’t stand for it; let us fight for you and help you receive the justice you deserve.
The name Ellwanger has been synonymous with fighting for justice since the 1950s.
From Rev. Joe Ellwanger (Jay’s uncle), a pastor who marched for Civil Rights and was sent by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. to urge LBJ to pass the Voting Rights Act.
To David Ellwanger (Jay’s father), a lawyer who ran for the Alabama State Senate seat in Selma to unseat a staunch segregationist.
To Jay Ellwanger, who today is carrying on the family tradition and is ready to fight for you every step of the way.
Without Jay and his team, it’s hard to say where we would be right now.
My family has been able to move on and pick up the pieces humbly because of our experience with the Ellwanger team. We will always remember the honest, good-hearted people that showed us true compassion during the most important part of our family’s future.”
I have never been associated with any type of legal matter. Jay was patient with all my questions regarding “the process” of going through the EEOC. Vas kept me informed as each step was completed. In the end, I felt like I had gained two friends that I could trust. This whole process was truly sincere. It was never about money for me or them; it was about doing the right thing against individuals that think they can run over “the little folks”.
When I came home from the mediation, my husband stated that he “had finally got his wife back”. I was able to stand up for myself and move past this incident. I have no regrets and owe getting my happy life back to Jay and Vas!!!”
