As a trial lawyer, I routinely see what can go wrong with a client?s business, and for this reason I am uniquely positioned to help clients prevent business and employment disputes by anticipating them and by being proactive. As a certified public accountant who at one time practiced public accounting for a Big Eight accounting firm, I also understand the practical and financial aspects of disputes. In my practice, I assist clients with hiring and termination matters, developing and implementing appropriate employment policies and procedures, and responding to EEOC charges and Department of Labor or Texas Workforce Commission wage audits. I also offer training programs designed to assist my clients in meeting the ongoing challenges associated with federal and state employment laws, which continue to present a moving target. I frequently provide advice to client entities who are in the process of restructuring their business, and I have conducted due diligence investigations in connection with a nationwide roll-up of staffing companies, as well as strategic mergers and initial public offerings of staff leasing and PEO companies.

Jackie Armstrong graduated from South Texas College of Law in 1987. She brought with her, pre-lawschool training in municipal law and lobbying from the Texas Municipal League. Also, as an investigator working with the Texas Attorney General and U.S. Dept. Of Justice, she learned how to build evidentiary cases unassailable by the most sophisticated defendants and their attorneys. After years associated with top rated trial firms, Ms. Armstrong opened her employment civil rights practice in January, 1991. She effectively communicates her earnest belief in her clients’ causes to jurors, judges and arbitrators. Defending clients against overly broad non-compete agreements is a sub-specialty. But successes are not only realized in the courtroom. Jackie Armstrong devotes as much energy to successfully resolving disputes through settlement when warranted. Ms. Armstrong is also a tenacious negotiator and has assisted many executives with severance and employment agreements.
