Exhibit A
Employment Lawyers work in Brownsville
Brownsville sits in Cameron County, and the employment work here follows the local economy. The port, the warehouses, the call centres, the school districts and the hospitality trade around the border all put people on payrolls, and payrolls produce disputes. Search demand for employment lawyers in Brownsville is steady rather than huge, and the firms competing for it are mostly small local practices and a few Rio Grande Valley firms that cover Brownsville from McAllen or Harlingen. Paid search on the obvious terms is contested by the larger Valley firms and by national referral sites that buy the clicks and sell the leads on. The searches themselves are specific: people look for help with unpaid wages, wrongful termination, severance, retaliation and workplace discrimination, often in Spanish as well as English. That mix of languages and that mix of small local firms and outside buyers is what shapes the demand available in this city.
