Dane R. Scalise

I came to Dane Salise with a dispute over money that was owed to me from a former client for services rendered by my company. Mr. Scalise listened to me about my case, requested all pertinent records, discovered that we were owed even more than we had initially thought, and filed a lawsuit on my beh...alf. He ultimately won the case and obtained a judgment for all the money that was owed. The judgment also included an award for reimbursement of my attorneys’ fees. More importantly, after obtaining the judgment, Mr. Scalise worked to help me actually recover most of the money that was owed to me. I would sincerely recommend Mr. Scalise for your legal needs.

My husband and I worked with Dane to update our wills, living wills, and power of attorney, as we had moved to North Carolina from Connecticut. Dane sent us all the documents ahead of time to review, and even though I sent him questions on them just a day before we met, he had reviewed all the ques...tions and was ready with answers and advice the day we met with him for the review. The documents and legal issues can be somewhat confusing, and Dane was diligent and thorough in explaining certain points and answering our questions. We would definitely use Dane again for any legal issues and questions.

I was in need of a lawyer to see if my complicated situation warranted filing a lawsuit. I spoke with Mr. Dane Scalise on the phone for nearly 30 minutes about my problems and then we scheduled an office consultation at my request. At the in-person meeting, knowing that I was a man of modest mean...s, Dane offered a reduction of his usual fee for his time and expertise. Later he even performed several hours of pro bono research in order to check out all my options. Everyone’s case and life situation is unique, but his generosity to me sure helped financially and emotionally. Dane is a wonderful listener with a superior attention to detail, not a legal robot. He doesn’t clinically extract the legal details of your story from you - he actually takes the time to get to know a client as a person, rather than just another customer. I found Dane to be confident without cockiness, as well as forthright and concise, yet still compassionate and neighborly. I highly recommend Dane Scalise to anyone in need of representation and/or knowledge concerning North Carolina civil law. If I ever have any future legal needs, I now know who to call. Thank You, Dane, for your wise counsel !

In 2013, I contacted Mr. Scalise during a situation that was both delicate and complicated, requiring extensive legal advice and action. In the ensuing weeks and months, I was very grateful for his wise and steady guidance. While I'm pleased not to require further legal counsel or representation--I... would not hesitate to employ his services again if needed.

Dane did a wonderful job in the courtroom and we got the judgement we wanted which in my case we needed a more severe one than what most judges would have deemed fit. However, Dane smoothly and wisely steered all questions to examine the severity of need and we won. He also is 100% involved as an exc...ellent listener and has compassion and kind words when I was afraid or nervous.
