Union Representation, Grievances & Arbitration
Laredo Union Attorneys for Officers Throughout South Texas
When an officer faces unfair treatment or a violation of their collective bargaining agreement, the power of a union is only as effective as the legal strategy behind it. Altgelt Law Office, P.C. focuses on providing the legal muscle that turns a standard grievance into a winning case. We help our clients by serving as the bridge between their union rights and their actual rights enforcement before an arbitrator.
Our firm provides high-level representation for local police, Webb County deputies, and federal agents during the high-stakes grievance and arbitration process. We don't just "show up" for hearings; we meticulously build a record, cross-examine management's witnesses, and work to hold the agency accountable to the contract they signed.

Why Legal Counsel Is Critical for Union Issues
While union representatives provide essential peer support, a grievance arbitration is a formal legal proceeding that functions like a trial. At this stage, you are facing city attorneys or agency counsel who aim to uphold the department's decision.
We even the playing field with the following:
- Evidence subpoenas. We use the power of the arbitration process to force the department to turn over documents, emails, and CAD logs that they may have withheld during the initial complaint stages.
- Procedural enforcement. We identify "missed deadlines" or "procedural errors" by management that can lead to an automatic win for the officer.
- Skilled cross-examination. We work to dismantle the testimony of Internal Affairs investigators and biased supervisors who may have overlooked mitigating facts.

"Fought for the truth"I wholeheartedly recommend my friend, brother, and attorney, George Altgelt, and his outstanding team.
