Mike Maslanka

Michael P. Maslanka believes that his role is twofold: to help clients manage the situation before the situation manages them and to make matters as simple and user-friendly as possible for them. He brings 28 years of experience to these dual goals, including being the lead trial attorney in claims under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, Title VII, and Texas noncompete law. Chambers USA states that he is a "strong, insightful thinker" and takes a "holistic approach" to resolving his client's challenges.
