The firm also provides a full range of U.S. and global immigration services to companies and individuals alike. The firm is headquartered in Houston, Texas, but its practice extends throughout Texas and the nation. As a minority and women-owned law firm, our diverse legal team has the necessary experience to handle the varied employment and immigration needs of our clients.

Experienced Team

There are many reasons for the firm’s success, starting with the quality of its attorneys and support staff. Monty & Ramirez is comprised of experienced attorneys with outstanding credentials and diverse backgrounds. The partners of Monty & Ramirez have more than 85 years of combined legal experience.

Results Oriented

When taking into account the client’s perspective, the most important measure of any law firm comes down to one thing—getting results. Monty & Ramirez is committed to providing its clients with high-quality counsel and service, which means not only listening to and anticipating their needs, but also attempting to out-think and out-strategize the opposition. By being industrious, and smart, our attorneys have accumulated a successful track record representing businesses in their employment matters. Our attorneys have also prevented untold numbers of potential claims by helping our clients foresee, address, and avoid problems.

Cost-effective

In achieving positive results, our attorneys understand that clients face constant pressure to minimize costs without compromising quality, which is why Monty & Ramirez is also committed to providing exceptional value. Our firm structure minimizes overhead and encourages efficiency. Monty & Ramirez provides outstanding client service at reasonable rates. All matters are staffed with an eye toward keeping the client’s total cost as low as possible while providing a high level of legal experience.

Broad Experience

The breadth of experience within the firm allows Monty & Ramirez to handle virtually any matter relating to an employer’s employment issue. This includes matters such as employment litigation, government investigations, wage and hour claims, contract negotiations, arbitrations, trade secret and unlawful competition litigation, union organizing and decertification campaigns, and class-action lawsuits. Our attorneys are also adept in preventative counseling, management training, and assisting employers with drafting and implementing policies and procedures to ensure compliance with applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations.

Bilingual

Our firm diversity reflects the diversity of Houston. Monty & Ramirez provides its clients with the ability to reduce investigative costs when dealing with the Hispanic and/or Spanish-speaking workforce.

Where applicable, these bilingual language skills provide our clients with competitive and unique advantages in communicating with their Spanish-speaking employees. Our attorneys help with clear communication between Spanish-speaking employees and their employers.
