Josef F. Buenker

Josef (“Joe”) Buenker is a native Houstonian and first generation American. Joe’s parents immigrated to the United States from Germany and taught him an appreciation for this country and the blessings that living here gives to us. Joe attended Rice University, graduating in 1986 with a bachelor’s degree. In 1989, Joe received his law degree from the University of Houston Law Center.


Joe has discovered that he really enjoys suing employers who cheat workers out of their wages. The right to be paid properly for work provided to one’s employer is a fundamental, important right, and the law provides a powerful method to enforce that right. Joe is particularly passionate about helping those individuals who are most taken advantage of in society and has filed numerous lawsuits on behalf of low-wage workers and service workers whose employers have stolen the tips left by customers. Joe and his team of dedicated employee’s rights advocates delight in helping workers who have been wronged in the workplace.


When not practicing law, Joe enjoys spending time with his family, kayaking, reading, exercising, and developing his skills on his backyard smoker.
