Rosenberg Sprovach: A Houston Firm Where Both Named Partners Are Board Certified — and Neither Represents Employers

Gregg M. Rosenberg has practiced employment law exclusively for more than 35 years, and both he and named partner Ellen Sprovach hold Board Certification in Labor and Employment Law from the Texas Board of Legal Specialization — a firm the State Bar’s own certification records confirm never represents the employer side of a dispute.

At a Glance

Origin and Background

Gregg M. Rosenberg has practiced employment law exclusively for more than three decades, with federal court admission dating to 1988. Ellen Sprovach joined him as a named partner, and both attorneys hold Board Certification in Labor and Employment Law from the Texas Board of Legal Specialization — a dual-certified partnership structure, rather than a single named-certified attorney supported by non-certified associates. Rosenberg was named among Houstonia Magazine’s Top Lawyers in 2015.

Practice Concentration

The firm handles employment contract disputes, noncompete agreement litigation, overtime and wage compensation claims, sexual harassment, whistleblower protection matters, and wrongful termination, with discrimination cases spanning age, gender, race, and sexual orientation. See this Houston Employment & Labor directory for how this employee-exclusive model compares to mixed-representation firms in the same category. The firm’s own materials state it represents individuals with claims against their employers rather than the reverse — a stated one-sided model consistent across multiple independent listings, not just the firm’s own marketing.

Track Record

The firm publicly cites a $1.4 million verdict for minority shareholder oppression, though Awesome Attorneys did not independently verify the case docket for this specific figure and notes it as a firm-published claim. Beyond that figure, what is independently verifiable is Rosenberg’s 1988 federal court admission, both partners’ TBLS board certification, and the firm’s 35-plus-year continuous operation as an employment-law-exclusive practice.

Client Voice

Independent reviews describe specific, attributed outcomes rather than generic praise — testimonials on the firm’s own site include a client stating the firm “took my employer to task and made them pay,” and Avvo carries additional independent reviews. Awesome Attorneys did not identify a pattern of negative or unresolved reviews warranting disclosure for this firm.

Beyond the Courtroom

Rosenberg has appeared in an “Employment Law” video series on ReelLawyers.com, a legal-education media platform, extending the firm’s employee-rights focus into public legal education content beyond individual case representation.

Recognition for This Houston Employment & Labor Attorney

Both named partners hold Board Certification in Labor and Employment Law from the Texas Board of Legal Specialization, the credential this publication requires before using “specialist” language. Rosenberg has been recognized on Super Lawyers lists and was named a Top Lawyer in Houston by Houstonia Magazine in 2015.

Texas Legal Backdrop

Texas follows the doctrine of at-will employment, meaning an employer can generally terminate a worker for any reason or no reason absent a legally protected exception such as discrimination or retaliation. Whistleblower protections and overtime claims under the Fair Labor Standards Act — both named practice areas here — carry their own distinct filing deadlines and procedural requirements separate from general wrongful-termination claims. None of this is legal advice; a specific employment matter should be evaluated by a licensed attorney based on the actual facts involved.

Awesome Attorneys Assessment

Rosenberg Sprovach’s clearest, most checkable differentiator is a partnership where both named attorneys — not just one, with others supporting — hold TBLS board certification in labor and employment law, paired with a consistently stated employee-only representation model across independent sources. The honest trade-off: as an employee-side boutique, the firm doesn’t offer the employer-side compliance counseling that a mixed-representation or management-side firm provides, and the firm’s own $1.4 million verdict claim is presented here as the firm’s claim rather than independently confirmed. For a Texas employee weighing a discrimination, harassment, or wage dispute who wants confidence that both named partners meet the same certification bar, that dual credential is a genuine, checkable differentiator.
