Will Contests

The validity of a will is not based on the “fairness” of the will or on whether an individual got what they wanted in the will. Evaluations of validity of wills include whether the will was properly signed (is the signature forged? was it witnessed?); whether the person making the will (the "testator") lacked testamentary capacity; whether the deceased was subjected to undue influence (or was under the influence of medication) when making the will; whether the deceased was fraudulently induced or tricked into signing the will or threatened with bodily harm; and if there was a mistake in the will.

If you believe you have been wrongfully denied your rightful inheritance, you must act immediately to protect your rights. Will contests are subject to time limitations. Contact Ron Salazar at (210) 627-9000  without delay if you believe the validity of a will should be examined.

Breach of Contract

Contract disputes can arise both between individuals and in business settings. If you are involved in a situation where another party is not living up to their obligations, or is claiming you are not living up to yours, call Ron Salazar at (210) 627-9000 so that we can explore your situation and seek the legal remedy to which you are entitled.

Wrongful Termination

Texas follows the “employment at will” rule which means that employees can be fired with or without cause. However, there are exceptions to this rule. Employers may not retaliate and fire you in certain circumstances and they may not fire you in violation of state or federal law. For example, you may have a case for wrongful termination if you were fired on the basis of discrimination, for reporting sexual harassment, on the basis of a disability or for requesting time off under FMLA (Family Medical Leave Act).

Business Disparagement

If you own a business and your competitors or other individuals are making false statements about your business you should bring a claim against them for “business disparagement.” Many Courts will issue a temporary restraining order which requires whoever is making the disparaging comments against your business to stop and remove the false statements from wherever they are published. After that, your business can be reimbursed for the loss of earnings that resulted from the false statements. In today’s internet environment, it is important to protect your business’s reputation. At the Ron Salazar Law Firm, we have successfully stopped disparagement with temporary restraining orders and taken judgments against those that disparage business.
