Edward Cerasia II

I was referred to Ed by a colleague who had conferred with him. I can write all day long and it won't be enough to express my gratitude towards Ed for his advice and help. I am especially thankful he explained the entire process to me, as often as I needed, and let me know exactly what I might be ...in for should my case go to trial. He was equal parts knowledgeable and empathetic as well as being an all around great guy. I heartily and enthusiastically recommend Ed Cerasia.

I was referred to Ed by a trusted contact of my husband's. I had some urgency for legal counsel on an employment situation that I was seeking to resolve. Although Ed was out of the country on vacation when he received my voicemail, he responded just a few hours after I left the message, and set up an... appointment for a phone consult. He asked excellent questions and outlined possible courses of action and outcomes. As the situation evolved, we had another phone consult in which he provided invaluable information, and he subsequently reviewed and edited a letter to my employer. End result: I achieved the best case scenario resolution to the situation. I have no hesitation in highly recommending Ed to anyone facing an employment issue.

I was put into contact with Ed Cerasia in regards to a termination which I felt had some issues to address. Throughout the process, Ed was extremely prompt in communicating both by e-mail and telephonically. His knowledge of employment law was clearly exceptional and he was also knowledgeable of th...e behind-the-scenes details of my industry and former employer. During our first meeting he took thorough notes and clearly know where to focus and which details were (or were not) relevant. He was always professional, even-tempered and gracious. When it came time to negotiate, he proved to be a seasoned counselor and pushed just hard enough without going overboard. He always gave us his expectation of where the discussions were going, and he was persistent in pushing back when it was necessary. He also knew when and how to close out our discussions and handled all the paperwork very efficiently. Lastly, he always put our interests first, even if it would impact his fees, and even rounded down the fees as a courtesy. I felt incredibly safe and well-represented the entire way through, and cannot recommend him strongly enough.

Like many people, I met Ed during a crossroad in life when I needed to make fast, informed decisions about things I understood little about, which were going to have an enormous impact on my career and my life. Starting with a conference call late on a Saturday night (because it was the first opportu...nity I had to speak in depth), Ed guided me through as much complexity as I needed to hear to understand the landscape I suddenly found myself in. In the eight months we worked together, I always understood exactly what was happening, what could happen, and how we could proceed in order to turn this episode into a win for me. Because Ed kept in close contact, I never had a question go unanswered overnight. I'm happy to report that we were successful on every front. Perhaps more significantly, I look forward to having a drink with Ed and Christie for many years to come.
