PERSONABLE, HONEST, ATTENTIVE

Above and beyond great work on the issue at hand. He makes the worst situation into the best. His attention to my case felt personal and he was honest and upfront with me from the beginning and that is hard to find. Thanks to his hard work and the help of his assistants I was able to come through a ...tough situation on the bright side. Thanks Charles for treating me like a human being instead of just a paycheck.

No other could even compare!! Amazing, Brilliant, Committed, Dedicated, Diligent, Fair, Honest, Just,

Reality check. I never would have thought the day would come that I would need an employment lawyer. When it did, I could not have been more blessed when I was referred to Charles to represent my case for Over-time (FLSA), Age Discrimination and Gender Discrimination. He was ready, willing and mu...ch more than capable to represent me. I live a couple hundred miles from his offic, so during a scheduled trip, planned prior to my case, he took personal time out to meet me and discuss the case. Totally not expected, I had planned to drive to his office. From our introduction phone call to the settlement of the case I felt I was always a priority and not a bother or just another client. I was always kept abreast of every step in the process and every decision/option available for each decision that was needed to be made. I appreciate Charles communicating in total honesty, even when it was not an easy conversation for us to have. I greatly respect his matter a fact approach even though it was not always enjoyable. It did allow me to maintain realistic expectations. Resulting in a very positive and satisfying outcome for myself. I very strongly recommend Charles to any and everyone that thinks, believes or feels they have an employment claim. The absolute greatest in my book!!!

Charles Scalise with Austin based Ross Law Group representation was absolutely superb!

Mr. Charles Scalise represented me because my employer failed to pay over-time wages. What impressed me most was that Mr. Scalise was such an excellent communicator. He outlined the process, expectations and throughout the process answered questions and never once appeared too busy! He always took ...my calls even though I knew he must have been busy. Equally as impressive was his legal knowledge and experience. Mr. Scalise delivered strategic advice as well as intelligent litigation. Without a doubt I felt confident that I was in good hands. He was always open and honest with me and didn't tell me what I wanted to hear. He stood by me when the other side tried to push back and I was most appreciative that he allowed me to provide input and details to counter inaccurate accusations. It was that collaborative partnership that not only made me feel involved, kept me informed but provided me with a greater appreciation for his aggressive litigation! Lastly, Mr. Scalise was personable, warm, considerate yet very succinct and professional. I was very pleased with the service provided by Mr. Charles Scalise and would recommend him to my family and friends. I am submitting this post because it's easy to post reviews when we receive poor service or we're disgruntled but when we're pleased, we often take it for granted, go along our way without telling the world - this was a good experience - a lemon to lemonade experience - how about I was WOWed with great customer service and for all that - I say Thank You to Mr. Charles Scalise! Try him - trust me - You'll be pleased! Lynn

Awesome Representation

I spoke to literally dozens of attorneys who supposedly practice employment law and found that in most cases I knew more about the law applicable to my case (wage and hour) than they did. Than I found Charles. Long story short, we settled the case for an amount that was fair, and all sides can move... on now. He was straight with us about what to expect, and the pros and cons of each course of action.

Satisfied Client

Mr. Scalise assisted me with a problem I had with a auto dealership. He kept me informed and provided me with updates on a regular basis giving me the peace of mind I was seeking. He was most effective in representing me and the situation was resolved to my satisfaction. Mr. Scalise fees were mos...t reasonable for the quality of representation that I received. I would highly recommend Mr. Scallse for legal representation.
