CONSCIENTIOUS REPRESENTATION
My mission is to make Texas a better place for business. To me, that means standing up for the ethical treatment of workers and giving employers the tools they need to succeed.
CREATIVE, COST-EFFECTIVE SOLUTIONS
To do this, I choose to see each legal dispute as an opportunity to find a fair resolution — no matter the obstacles involved — and to help you reach that resolution at a fair price.
As ironic as it may sound, I don’t tend to think of my work as being “all business.” I am a hard worker and an effective attorney, but at the core of my work are people. I genuinely enjoy getting to know my clients, guiding them past their disputes, and building friendships along the way.
THERE ARE VERY FEW EXCEPTIONS TO THE OVER 40 HOURS/WEEK RULE.
If you are paid by the hour, you should almost certainly receive overtime pay when you work more than 40 hours in a week. An attorney can help you determine what action to take if your employer has failed to honor your overtime work.
OVERTIME ISN’T JUST FOR HOURLY EMPLOYEES.
If you are paid on salary, by the day (“day rate”), or by the number of tasks you complete (“piece rate”), you may still be eligible for overtime pay. Allow me to educate you on your unique employee rights.
YOUR EMPLOYER MAY BE MISCLASSIFYING YOUR JOB.
In Texas, independent contractors are not entitled to overtime pay, which can lead to problems for workers who are classified as independent contractors but actually aren’t. If you’ve been denied overtime because of such a misclassification, please call me for guidance.
[Hessam] will keep it real with you while working hard to prove your case. He went above and beyond for me and I am thankful my case has been completely resolved.
Hessam did great work for me on a difficult employment law case... The opponent was a very large hospital group, and I felt like I had no chance to win. Hessam got me everything I asked for.
I cannot thank Mr. Parzivand enough for all his hard work. I have not only found an Attorney for life but a friend for life.
Mr. Parzivand was up front, open, and professional throughout the entire process. He always went out of his way to listen and discuss all of my questions, as well as updating me on a daily basis.
Mr. Parzivand makes you feel comfortable from the moment you speak to him. His attention to detail is phenomenal as well as his knowledge of the applicable laws.
Mr. Parzivand is by far the best attorney I've ever dealt with and I've dealt with a few in my day. He's very responsive to your questions and he really knows his field of law.
When you’re trying to decide who to hire for a service, it helps to know not just what they do, but who they are, as well. Here’s a little insight into who I am as both a person and a professional.
Maybe it’s because of my background in human resources, or maybe it’s because of who I am as a person, but my clients often express relief when they realize how easy it is to talk to me. Whether we’re chatting in my office, over the phone, or even through email, I always strive to create an environment where you feel safe sharing your story— and where you know your concerns will not only be heard but also acted on by a knowledgeable professional.
There are quite a few things I do to keep my services as affordable as possible for my clients. For instance, I give each case the focused attention it deserves, thereby building the most effective and efficient strategy possible. And, when I see an opportunity to replace traditional litigation with a creative, cost-saving solution, I make that option known.
If you read through the testimonials that some of my past clients have kindly provided, you’ll notice that I am fairly well-known for my accessibility. In my mind, responding promptly to questions and providing regular updates is the least I can do to show my clients they’re in good hands.
Anytime you enter into a contract with another party, whether by yourself or as a representative of your business, you need to ensure that the contract language is legally binding and covers all eventualities should either party fail to uphold their obligations.
Injuries are not the only claims that customers, competitors, and others can make against your business that can be costly. If your marketing or advertising causes reputational harm to another person or business, you can be liable for that as well. If you sell products and a defective product causes injury, that party could come after you as well.
