A Trusted Advocate for Workers’ Rights
OVERVIEW
Travis Grefenstette is a skilled trial attorney based in Houston, Texas, with a national practice focused on class and collective actions for unpaid wages. He represents workers across the country in both federal and state courts, pursuing justice for employees who have been denied fair compensation. Through determined advocacy, Travis helps hold employers accountable and recover the wages his clients have rightfully earned.
Travis brings nearly a decade of experience to his wage and hour practice, including several years representing plaintiffs in catastrophic personal injury matters. While at Jim S. Adler & Associates from 2020 to 2025, he played a key role in securing multiple multi-million-dollar settlements for seriously injured clients. Earlier in his career, he worked at regional firms in Massachusetts and Rhode Island, defending medical providers in complex malpractice litigation. This dual perspective—having worked on both sides of high-stakes cases—gives him a strategic edge in advocating for working people.
Driven by a deep desire to help people in times of crisis, Travis finds the most fulfillment in standing up for workers and ensuring they receive the full compensation they deserve. He takes pride in keeping companies accountable and championing fairness in the workplace.
Outside of work, Travis enjoys spending time with his wife and two children. He’s an avid fan of outdoor activities, sports, and exploring great food.
