Its always refreshing to work with a true professional but it is imperative when seeking legal counsel. I work with attorneys on almost a daily basis and can say without any hesitation that Dane is in the top 1% of any I have worked with. Dane represented me in a complex transaction as I sold a portion of my business. Dane understood the cadence of the deal and worked with me tirelessly to see that we got it done. Thankful to have been represented by Dane, a true professional.

Dane goes above and beyond in his services! His phone calls were used to fully explain all sides of the case. Dane took my phone calls late and early and stayed dedicated to the task while also offering his knowledge and care towards the unfortunate circumstances I was using him for. Dane was prompt and timely- the quickest legal help I ever received!

When my fiancé & I started our cleaning business this year, we went through the SBA to find a local & reliable attorney to consult with regarding a non-compete with a previous employer. He was straight forward from the start & when the time came for him to represent us in court, he immediately jumped on the case & ensured us to not stress over anything, that he had it all covered. He was consistent in communication & reassuring in his abilities. You really can’t ask for anything more than what he provided for us, especially in such short notice. Going forward, he’s our go-to guy & he should be yours too.

I had difficulty finding an attorney who would take on a relatively small but critical job I needed done as soon as possible to comply with NC Utilities Commission filings for a new franchise business. I contacted Mr. Scalise through the NC Bar Directory and he returned my call. He understood the need I had and what it required on his part. We exchanged a few emails and a couple of days later he stopped by my house to pickup the forms from me and, after completing his section, filed them that same day. He called from his car to let me know that I had forgotten to give him the required bank checks payable to NCUC. He stopped by his bank and got them drawn on his business account and I reimbursed him through his online payment service. I literally never left my house from the initial call to the final filings and only owed him for the few hours he put in on the engagement agreement. I feel he went above and beyond on my behalf to get this done quickly and I would recommend him to anyone.

Dane Scalise came highly recommended from a friend of mine. I am incredibly thankful for the connection. Dane is not only truly knowledgeable but extremely friendly. He helped me understand the reasoning for certain items in a business transaction. He took his time with me and was exceptionally thorough. He is also responsive to both emails and phone calls. I know we will use him again in the future.

My wife and I hired Dane after a recreational vehicle we purchased did not live up to expectations. He fought the company for months but he got all of the issues fixed as well as a cash settlement for our trouble. He kept us informed every step of the way and was very responsive to all our questions. We definitely recommend Dane. He is a fighter.

We consulted with and hired Dane Scalise to represent us after a licensed contractor failed to complete the obligations of our contract requiring that we spend money out of pocket to fix. The contractor then refused to reimburse us our monies. Dane was very attentive to our case and continued to send correspondence even as the other party tried to stall and put this off. He was extremely responsive to all of our questions. In the end, we prevailed and we would not have wanted any other attorney representing us. We highly recommend Dane Scalise!

I hired Dane to help me make some important business decisions I was considering. He went through all the documentation and explained the positives and negatives which allowed me to make the best decision for me and my business. I plan to work with Dane moving forward for all my business law needs!

I had the recent opportunity of working with Mr. Scalise on a case involving my new car and the multiple problems with the car. Mr. Scalise did an excellent job of representing me and we won the case. Keeping me informed by frequent communications by phone and email was greatly appreciated. I would highly recommend his services.
