We turn to Miguel for all HR and employment matters. His advice has always been on point, very thorough and has enabled us to avoid missteps in all phases of the employment process. We had a very serious employee theft situation in which Miguel expertly guided us through each step of the process. He helped us deal with the initial employment matter, assemble and present the case to law enforcement authorities and represented the company in each of the prosecution phases. This resulted in a full conviction in Federal Court and compliments from the federal agencies for how well the case was managed and documented. His experience, network of experts and knowledge has been invaluable to us.

Miguel has always been very reliable either in framing a position that is correct, defensible and fair, or in providing background information that allows our firm to formulate well-thought out policies and actions. He is a genuine Councilor that has served our firm exceptionally well for many years

For the past 20 years, I have led an organization with annual revenues in excess of $300 million and a workforce in excess of 200 employees and contractors. Throughout that period, Attorney Miguel Escalera has provided exceptional service as our corporate employment law attorney. Attorney Escalera successfully defended our organization in a critical multi-million-dollar litigation that lasted nearly a decade. Key to the success was a comprehensive understanding and clear presentation to the arbitration panel of the intricacies of federal and state employment laws, pension and benefits requirements, and the parties’ contractual obligations. I credit Attorney Escalera for his exceptional knowledge of the law and the organized and executed litigation plan as a primary reason for our success. We frequently utilize Attorney Escalera in a proactive capacity to ensure every decision touching on employment law, benefits, employee relations, or collective bargaining is fully appreciated by management prior to decision-making. I enthusiastically recommend Attorney Escalera.

Attorney Escalera has represented my law firm for many years and with regard to numerous issues. He has handled employee related matters, our corporate and partnership structure, real estate transactions, as well as insurance and compensation questions. He is a consummate professional, who is always willing to spend the time and energy to provide extremely effective and useful advice. His preparation is outstanding and he brings a common sense and practical viewpoint to all issues about which we have sought his guidance. All necessary documents were always thoroughly, carefully, and diligently prepared and always in a timely fashion. His is extremely ethical and completely honest. I recommend Miguel Escalera without reservation whatsoever to anyone who needs effective and proficient representation in any of these areas of the law.

Extremely confident labor relations lawyer! I have worked with Miguel in many capacities. As an HR Director for a large corporation I have engaged him as our labor relations and employment lawyer and I have worked with him also while I was in my consulting practice for many many years. I have repeatedly referred Miguel and his colleagues to my clients as labor relations attorneys. He is smart witty very savvy in labor relations law and provides terrific counsel. I would unequivocally recommend Miguel and his firm!

I worked closely with Miguel on numerous complicated matters over the course of several years when I practiced in-house. He brought insightful counsel to an area of the law that has tremendous unpredictability. Miguel has a special ability of quieting the room and bringing emotions down to a manageable level. His patient, methodical approach to fast-paced and dramatic litigation is unparalleled. We often joked that we wished that we had a Miguel in every state in which the company did business. We viewed Miguel as not only a talented litigator, but also as a trusted advisor.

I am the Chief Operating Officer for a large family owned health care company based in Stratford, Ct. As a 38 year industry veteran, currently employing 1,900 staff, I consider our working with Attorney Escalera to be one of the major components to our ongoing success related to Human Resources, labor issues, and the CHRO process. He and his firm also provide educational support to each of our facilities. Credible, experienced, contemplative, and decisive, he is the best labor Attorney I have worked with in my entire career. I would be proud to recommend him to anyone in need of these services.
