Harman Green, P.C.: A New York Employment Firm’s Texas Outpost
Most firms in this Dallas employment lawyer directory are homegrown Texas practices. Harman Green, P.C. — still widely known by its former name, The Harman Firm — is different: it is a New York employment litigation firm whose founding attorney extended his federal court admission into the Northern District of Texas and opened a Dallas office, rather than a Dallas firm that grew outward.

I. A New York Litigator’s Texas Federal Court Admission
Walker G. Harman, Jr. graduated from Fordham University School of Law in 1999, where he served on the Moot Court Board, worked in the Criminal Defense Clinic, and edited the Environmental Law Journal. After several years practicing complex commercial litigation at a large international law firm, he founded his own employment-focused practice in 2003. His court admissions span New York state courts, the Southern and Eastern Districts of New York, the U.S. Second Circuit, the District of Colorado, and the Northern District of Texas — the admission that allows the firm to litigate federal employment claims for Texas-based clients from its Dallas office.
II. Practice Concentration
Harman Green focuses almost exclusively on employment law on behalf of employees: discrimination (including disability discrimination), executive compensation disputes, retaliation, sexual harassment, whistleblower claims, and wage-and-hour litigation, including collective and class actions. The firm’s marketing emphasizes representation of higher-income professionals — attorneys, bankers, and executives — alongside broader wage-and-hour work.
III. Track Record
Prior results do not guarantee or predict a similar outcome. Employment settlements are frequently confidential, which limits what any firm can publish about specific case outcomes.
The firm states it has achieved seven-figure resolutions for high-income individual clients across “hundreds” of employment discrimination cases and complex wage-and-hour disputes since its founding. Awesome Attorneys was unable to independently verify specific case-level dollar figures behind this aggregate claim and is disclosing that gap directly; the “hundreds of cases” and “seven-figure resolutions” language is the firm’s own characterization of its cumulative practice rather than an itemized, sourced results table.
IV. Client Voice
Third-party attorney directory summaries describe clients as consistently praising the firm’s attentive staff and effective communication throughout the legal process, with clients reporting feeling supported and confident in their representation. Awesome Attorneys did not locate a specific aggregated star rating (Google, Avvo, or similar) tied to the Dallas office specifically as of this research; the available client commentary is secondhand directory summary language rather than directly attributed, verifiable quotes.
V. Beyond the Courtroom
Harman served as President of the Fordham Student Sponsored Fellowship during law school, overseeing distribution of scholarship funds enabling students to work at nonprofit organizations, and co-chaired Fordham’s LGBT Students Organization, working with the law school’s administration on diversity and anti-discrimination issues on campus. He is a member of the New York City Bar Association and the National Employment Lawyers Association.
VI. Recognition
Awesome Attorneys did not identify Super Lawyers selection, Best Lawyers recognition, or board certification specific to Harman’s Texas practice during this research. His primary credentialing rests on two decades of employment litigation experience and memberships in the New York City Bar Association and NELA — professional affiliations rather than independently conferred awards. Awesome Attorneys did not identify any marketing-program-only awards claimed by this firm.
VII. The Texas Legal Backdrop
Because Harman is admitted to the Northern District of Texas specifically, his Texas caseload runs through federal employment statutes: Title VII, the ADA, and the ADEA, each generally requiring an EEOC charge before suit, and the federal Fair Labor Standards Act for wage-and-hour claims, which carries a two-year limitations period (three years for willful violations) and permits collective actions. Texas’s parallel state anti-discrimination law, the Texas Commission on Human Rights Act (Texas Labor Code Chapter 21), requires a charge with the Texas Workforce Commission’s Civil Rights Division within 180 days of the alleged act, though it is unclear from public materials whether Harman personally handles the Texas state-law charge process or refers that component to Texas-licensed co-counsel.
VIII. Awesome Attorneys Assessment: This Dallas Employment Lawyer’s Strengths and Limits
Harman’s two decades of concentrated, employee-side employment litigation experience in New York’s demanding legal market, combined with his firm’s specific focus on high-income professionals’ discrimination and wage-and-hour claims, offer Dallas-based executives and professionals access to a litigator with substantial big-market federal court experience.
The honest limitation is that this is fundamentally an out-of-state firm’s Texas extension rather than a Texas-rooted practice: Harman is licensed in New York, not Texas, and holds no Texas Board of Legal Specialization credential. His Texas work proceeds through a single federal district court admission rather than broad state-court Texas licensure. A prospective Dallas client should understand they are retaining a New York-based practice’s Texas outpost, not a firm built around Texas employment law specifically, and should ask directly how state-law components of a claim would be handled.
IX. Methodology & Sourcing
This profile was compiled from the firm’s own website (harmangreen.com, formerly theharmanfirm.com); the State Bar of Texas attorney directory listing for Walker Green Harman; Justia and LII/Cornell Law attorney directory profiles; ReachAttorneys.com’s directory summary of client feedback; and LinkedIn’s firm and attorney profiles. No case results, credentials, or quotes were invented; where independent verification of aggregate claims or client reviews was unavailable, that gap is disclosed rather than filled.
