Review for Melissa S. San Angelo

Melissa started out with a very lengthy free phone consultation--where I was able to gather the information I needed to make a decision as to whether to retain an attorney or not. I did retain her and she kept me aware thruout the process of what was happening and the best routes for me to take. Th...e outcome was fair and she worked very hard for me :)

Outstanding

Melissa San Angelo is an excellent attorney who helped me to successfully navigate a challenging situation with my employer. I needed guidance on very short notice, and she made a point of quickly scheduling a consultation call with me to accommodate that short time frame. After hearing the details... of the situation, she let me know how I should approach my employer to achieve the best results, and her advice was right on the mark. Due to her guidance, the situation was resolved with a very positive outcome. I give Ms. San Angelo my highest recommendation.

Supportive during my return to modified work during long-term disability

I needed insight as to employment law from the employee's perspective after I returned to modified work after a prolonged medical leave. Ms San Angelo provided me with a free consultation including a good framework. This helped me to have informed conversations with my employer. She was responsive an...d supportive.

Knowledgeable and great to work with

I needed support for a severance matter. After a brief conversation over the phone, Melissa and I had a meeting in person. I had not yet received all the appropriate documents, so Melissa was practical and advised to wait without pushing for billing, that is so refreshing and appreciated! When I did ...have everything needed, Melissa was pragmatic in her approach and provided on point advice. In addition her warm personality reassured me and turned around a difficult situation to make this a more pleasant experience. Thank you!

Responsive, compassionate, thorough attorney!

Melissa was such a blessing during a stressful time when I was faced with a tough decision I needed to make about the unfair treatment I was receiving from my employer. Melissa took the time to explain my rights and options and walked through various scenarios with me. I decided I did not want to... pursue legal action, but because of her counsel, I was informed and confident in negotiating an agreement with my employer. I would recommend Melissa to anyone who is faced with a possible legal issue at work. Melissa is thorough, thoughtful, strategic, and compassionate. Thank you, Melissa!!
