The Morales Firm: Seventy Years of Combined Experience, Working Both Sides of San Antonio Employment Disputes

The Morales Firm’s attorneys bring more than 70 years of combined employment law experience to a practice deliberately built to represent both sides — employees seeking accountability and employers seeking swift, decisive dismissal of unfounded claims. Awesome Attorneys discloses this directly: the firm represents both employees and employers, and a prospective client should confirm the firm has no conflicting relationship before engaging.

Origin and Background

The Morales Firm, P.C. is based at 6243 West Interstate 10, Suite 132, San Antonio, TX 78201. The firm’s employment attorneys, led by Lawrence G. Morales and Charles W. Shipman, bring more than 70 years of combined legal experience to their employment practice, with Spanish language translation available for clients.

Practice Concentration

The firm’s practice covers discrimination, harassment, and wrongful termination claims, retaliation, Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) time-off disputes, and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accommodation matters, along with class actions for failure to pay proper wages. When representing workers, the firm states it works to hold employers accountable; when representing employers, it takes what it describes as a proactive approach to employment-law compliance and seeks swift dismissal of unfounded claims. The firm’s broader practice also covers family law, criminal defense, and probate. See this San Antonio Employment & Labor directory for how this dual-representation, multi-practice firm compares to employee-exclusive boutiques.

Notable Work / Track Record

As a firm handling matters for both employees and employers, The Morales Firm does not publish a running table of case-specific settlement or verdict figures, and Awesome Attorneys did not identify one. The firm’s more than 70 years of combined attorney experience specifically in employment law is itself a documented indicator of sustained practice depth distinct from case-specific results.

Client Voice

One client review specifically describes attorney Lawrence Morales as “very professional the whole time,” noting that even as a self-described difficult client, Morales “hung in there” and secured a positive result at trial. Awesome Attorneys did not identify negative or critical reviews warranting disclosure in the sample reviewed.

Beyond the Courtroom

Awesome Attorneys did not identify specific named civic or nonprofit board service for the firm’s employment attorneys distinct from their direct client work.

Recognition for This San Antonio Employment Law Firm

Lawrence Morales holds designation as a Labor and Employment Law Specialist through the Texas Board of Legal Specialization, independently verified. Awesome Attorneys applies “specialist” language to Morales on this basis, consistent with house policy reserving that language for genuine TBLS certification.

Texas Legal Backdrop

Because this firm represents both employees and employers, Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct governing conflicts of interest specifically prohibit the firm from representing one party against a current or former client on a substantially related matter without informed consent — a structural safeguard relevant to any client considering dual-representation firms in this category. Wage-and-hour class actions, an area of the firm’s documented practice, allow multiple employees with similar unpaid-wage claims against the same employer to pursue relief collectively, which can be more efficient than individual claims but requires meeting specific class-certification standards under Texas and federal procedure. None of this is legal advice; a specific employment matter should be evaluated by a licensed Texas attorney based on the actual facts involved.

Awesome Attorneys Assessment

The Morales Firm’s clearest differentiator is a genuinely deep bench of combined employment-law experience — more than 70 years across its attorneys — backed by Lawrence Morales’s TBLS specialist designation and bilingual client service. The honest and necessary disclosure is that this firm represents both employees and employers, so a prospective client should specifically confirm the firm has no conflicting relationship before engaging, and Awesome Attorneys did not locate a large independent review sample beyond the single documented client testimonial. For a San Antonio employee or business that wants a firm with genuine depth of combined experience and bilingual capacity, and is comfortable with the firm’s dual-representation model, that combination is a reasonable basis for a shortlist.
