Charles Leonard Scalise

I am an attorney licensed in Virginia who partnered with Charles as our local counsel in a complex Fair Labor Standards Act collective action in federal court in Austin, TX. We ultimately had nearly 500 "opt-in plaintiffs" join the case. Charles was extremely knowledgeable of the local federal cour...t and was a fantastic local partner in our case. I would recommend Charles to other attorneys as well as anyone looking for an employment attorney, especially in a wage and hour case.

Mr. Scalise was pleasant to work with, maintained communication and was very instructive regarding the best approach to take in my case. I am a very pleased client and am most thankful I had the opportunity to work with him. I will recommend him to others seeking legal counsel and assistance in the f...uture.

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.

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!!!
