Tej Singh
My name is Tej Singh - I am the founder of Tej Law Firm, PLLC in Texas and Tej Law Firm, PC in California. I started this firm in December 2020 with one goal: to help real people with real problems. I am a proud Aggie and graduated from Texas A&M University in 2012 with a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry and a minor in Business Administration. I graduated from the University of San Diego School of Law with Honors in 2016. I am fully licensed and serve clients in both Texas and California and have thus am able to represent clients in both states.
Practice Areas and Experience
In my career thus far, I am fortunate to have already worked in diverse legal environments, spanning from firms of varying sizes to varying legal subspecialities.
In law school, I clerked for various firms, specializing in employment law, personal injury, and intellectual property. I am fortunate to have a diverse spectrum of prior experiences that I now apply at my firm.
Once I was granted admission to the California State Bar, I initially practiced with the largest Workers’ Compensation Defense Firm in California (Los Angeles). For two years, I protected and limited exposure to employers dealing with injured workers. I built relationships with Workers’ Compensation Insurance Companies and the Workers’ Compensation Appeals Court Judges and learned the Workers’ Compensation system from the perspective of the Defense.
After passing the California Bar Exam, I decided to challenge myself to also pass the Texas Bar Exam so that I could serve as legal counsel in Texas for my family. After I was granted admission to the Texas State Bar, I moved to Texas and practiced as a defense attorney in areas of employment law, Texas Dram Shop Law, personal injury, medical malpractice, and Texas windstorm insurance. Before starting my own firm, I worked at a plaintiff’s firm focusing on wage and hour disputes as well as medical malpractice claims.
My main practice area is Employment law including wage and hour claims and California Workers' Compensation claims. In California, I represent clients that have been injured at work with their Workers’ Compensation claims. I know how the Defense thinks, and I know what to anticipate in their legal strategies. I work closely with my clients, as part of a team, to ensure that my clients’ rights are protected after an injury or ailment developed in the workplace. We will work together to make sure that you receive proper medical treatment, fair compensation for time missed from work, compensation for any loss in future earnings, and future medical treatment.
I also handle Wills and Estate Planning in Texas. My goal is to ensure that my clients maintain peace of mind knowing that all their necessary legal documents are prepared and valid, with all assets accounted for, in the case of an emergency or the unfortunate passing of a family member.
What to Expect from Tej
Communication is invaluable in an attorney-client relationship. I always set clear goals with my clients at the beginning of our relationship so that I can effectively serve you to accomplish our goals. I will keep in constant communication throughout the handling of your claim, and you can reach me at any time with questions or concerns. My cell number is (832) 877-3132: feel free to call or text at any time.
I do not charge by the hour. All legal fees are clearly discussed before the start of the attorney-client relationship, so you will not be subjected to any surprise charges or hidden fees. Specifically, our Will and Estate Planning packages have fixed prices, and I handle California Workers’ Compensation claims without any initial payment. In these cases, I only get paid if you get paid and there is no legal fee for you to pay unless we win.
As a lawyer, I aggressively advocate for my client’s rights. I have been a defense attorney for most of my legal career - I know how the other side thinks. I am extremely comfortable in a courtroom and have extensive prior trial and courtroom experience.
In addition to my main practice areas, I help my clients with all their legal needs. I enjoy solving problems and nothing excites me more than providing my clients with the perfect solution for their needs. I have experience in most areas of law and am qualified to handle a diverse variety of cases. If you are interested in working with me, all you have to do is reach out for a free evaluation.
