After working with Margo Pillischer and Carina, with Ross Scalise Beeler and Pillischer Law Firm, I appreciate their professionalism, responsiveness, and advice throughout the process. Their representation and guidance led to an acceptable resolution under difficult circumstances. I highly recommend them to others needing legal assistance in employment matters. I am sincerely grateful to them for their representation.

Brett was great at ensuring my process was optimal and provided reassurance that the contract was fair. Didn’t try to find a case where there was nothing and offered practical advice for dealing with potential outcomes and contingencies:

I can’t say enough good things about my experience with Ross · Scalise Employment Lawyers. Of the several attorneys I initially contacted, Charles Scalise was the only one who personally followed up with me. That really stood out—it showed me right away that he actually cared and took my concerns seriously. He took the time to listen, asked thoughtful questions, and helped me understand my options without ever making me feel rushed or dismissed. I felt supported through every step of the process. He also wasted NO time getting started and did not mince words with the other side. We also got our settlement quicker than the standard turnaround times. If you’re looking for someone who’s responsive, compassionate, and genuinely committed to helping you — I highly recommend giving them a call.

I am beyond grateful for coming across Ross Scalise Lawyers during a difficult time and for all the help I received from Margo Pillischer and Carina Hopkins. From my first conversation with Margo, I knew working with her would be the right decision for me. She was a great listener, super transparent, and empathetic, but also set realistic expectations. I felt in great hands with both her and Carina who was extremely diligent and kept me in the loop the entire process of us working together. They are an amazing team and would I recommend them to anyone in need of help if caught in a difficult working situation. Thank you so much Margo and Carina!

Margo and Carina are the dynamic duo! Margo did an incredible job with educating me and sometimes even filling in for my therapist! This was a very challenging situation for me as it was the first time I’ve ever been in a legal situation. Margo made it so much easier for me and she is incredibly smart. I appreciated their responsiveness. I never waited more than a couple hours for a response to anything, usually within minutes. I learned so much about the legal process and employment law. I was able to voice concerns and felt supported in that. I hope I never have to do this again but if I do, I’d definitely come back to this team.

Margo Pillischer and Carina are an amazing team! Margo eased my concerns and answered all my questions from the jump, and I felt confident and comfortable working with her every step of the way. She set very realistic expectations for next steps and did an excellent job listening to my must-haves and negotiating on my behalf. Plus Carina was there to provide amazing support, follow up, and make sure all i's were dotted and t's were crossed. I am surprising myself saying that I had an awesome experience working with my lawyer, but with Margo and her team, it's easy and true. Highly recommend her services and expertise in employment law!

Highly recommend Ross-Scalise Employment Lawyers. From the very beginning of taking my case, they were responsive, personable, knowledgeable, and empathetic towards my situation. They were very organized and detailed while clearly explaining the various different factors and variables in terms of how we could approach my case. They set clear and realistic expectations based on the law and executed a plan that would align with the most favorable outcome. More importantly, they fought rigorously throughout my case and ensured that me (the client) felt supported throughout the duration of my case. All of these characteristics nurtured an environment that made me feel confident in their ability to manage and handle my case. Overall, excellent company and group of lawyers and paralegals.

Working with Margo and Hannah on my case made going through the legal process less stressful knowing they had my best interest at heart. Margo was there every step of the way and is an compassionate, knowledge lawyer with true integrity. I am thankful to her and her team for all the hard work and support I received and am grateful for my positive outcome. Their support and expertise in my time of need will always be appreciated.

Dan Ross and the lawyers at Ross Scalise law group went above and beyond to make me whole after some facts changed that ultimately lead me to not pursue the case. This is an honest and upstanding law firm that I would recommend to anybody needing legal help.
