Melanie Rasic Savarese

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.

Melanie is not only a brilliant lawyer in terms of her knowledge of employment law but also is an outstanding advocate and a voracious fighter who will fight for her client’s best interests. She is ethical affairs advocate and she is compassionate and will help you navigate the complex law of employm...ent litigation. She is a brilliant lawyer and is empathetic and kind . Qualities often not seen in an attorney. If it wasn’t for Melanie I would not have made it to the end of my case because I could not see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Melanie is a very smart and intelligent lawyer and I was very happy to have her represent me as my attorney. She is very nice to talk to and immediately answered any questions that I had concerning my case. She handled my case with professionalism leading to a very nice settlement that I was happy wi...th . Melanie knew more about my case than I did. If Melanie is your attorney then you are definitely in good hands.
