Melanie Rasic Savarese

I’m a registered nurse for 45 years and I was retaliated and wrongful terminated. I was referred to Attorney Melanie Savarese for a consultation, from that point to the end of my case she was an amazing person. Beside working hard on my case, she’s always available either by text or by phone. She’s... very sympathetic to what I went through, she showed concerns for me and my family. She’s very patient, and answered all my questions. Melanie treated me like a friend not just a client. If you ever been treated wrongfully, by your employer or anybody else at work, I would highly recommend for you to contact Melanie Savarese. You will not regret it.

I am so grateful for the representation Atty. Melanie had provided me in the case I filed against my previous employer. Not only did she work very hard but I felt her support all the way and beyond what supposed to be expected from her as my lawyer. She lifted my downed spirit by giving me advice to... stay positive in life when I was turning upside down. Losing a job I maintained for almost 2 decades was so depressing and I remember her telling me”when one door closes, another one opens.” During the discovery phase of the case, she outlined my events in their truest entirety as if she was with me during the time they were happening based on the facts I presented in the deposition. Again, my deepest gratitude goes to you and to the team that took care of me in this litigation set under the highest standards and guided me though the experience which was so professional and personalized.

After my role was eliminated, I sought counsel from several attorneys. Each one agreed that I had a case but that it would be difficult to prove. Each one passed. Not Melanie. She was in my corner from Day 1 and worked hard to catalog all the facts to file a strong suit. My former employer had hi...red a famous firm to fight our case, but Melanie never wavered. We procured a strong settlement that will go a long way toward keeping my family housed, clothed, and fed while I seek my next job. Without Melanie's help, the paltry severance I was offered would have left me and my family in dire straits. I couldn't be more grateful for her.

I was in the difficult spot of suing my old employer. The attorney that I hired circled Melanie in, because of her specialty and good ways of business. From day one Melanie felt like a great fit. We had an initial consultation, to be sure we all were on the same page. Then, Melanie went to work. ... Yes, she went through all the evidence, including every email I sent for a couple years, and read so much of it that she knew my job in and out. She asked me some insightful questions and the absolute best part, for me, was that she was supportive. There were times I could not recall specific context or details. Melanie did not grill me or cause me to feel bad; instead we would talk about the job and often I would remember what the email was about. She also went out of her way to track witnesses and gather relevant information that didn't feel significant to me, until she would explain the “why’s." It is very stressful to deal with the legal system and there are very few that can live in that world remaining kind and thorough. Melanie is one of them. I had a very solid case, yet, I am older and the stress of being exposed to such ugliness for years felt burdensome, at best. We settled for an amount that my old employer felt, so I hope they change their ways. Melanie helped me walk away feeling like I might have helped point bad practices into the right direction, and I felt ok about not going to court and dragging the drama out for 3 to 4 years. She sees the value in peace of mind but she also felt like a safe wall between “them” and me. Yep, I recommend Melanie Rasic Savarese a lot. She has integrity, is very detail oriented, and has a good way about her. If we went to court, I am confident we would have won, in only because I had good people to represent me.

Melanie is an extraordinary attorney. From the moment I spoke with her I trusted that she would analyze my case and and look at it from both sides. Once she was taking care of my case I left it her capable hands knowing she had my best interest in mind. I was able to close the door, focus on healing ... and trust that she was taking care of things. From reading her other reviews I see that my experience mirrors those of her other clients. How she is vested this much in each client is amazing. She wasn't just about gaining a favorable decision, she was genuinely concerned about my well being. Constantly checking with me to make sure that reliving what happened wasn't emotionally compromising me. There were days when I heard frustration in her voice with regards to the misrepresentations made by the defense, yet maintaining her composure. She was always ethical, respectful (even when the defense was not), and knowledgeable about every aspect of my case. I couldn't have been placed in better hands and will be forever grateful for the care she took on my case. I recommend her without reservation to anyone who needs an attorney they can trust to tell them the truth and value of their case.
