Carlos J. Saavedra-Gutierrez

A knowledgeable and diligent advocate for my small business

I hired Carlos Saavedra-Gutierrez at Jackson Lewis to handle a complex wage and hour dispute that arose with a former employee. As a small business owner in Milwaukee, I was navigating unfamiliar legal territory and needed clear, practical guidance. Carlos demonstrated a strong command of employment law from our first consultation. He patiently explained the relevant statutes and outlined our potential risks and defenses in a way I could easily understand. His analysis was thorough, and I appreciated that he took the time to understand the specific dynamics of my workplace. While his billing was fair and transparent for the high-quality work, there were a couple of instances where I had to follow up for updates, as his response time could be a bit slower than I’d hoped during a busy period. Ultimately, his diligent preparation and strategic approach led to a favorable settlement without the need for protracted litigation. It’s clear why he’s already being recognized in labor and employment law. Carlos is a sharp, dedicated attorney who I would confidently recommend to any local business facing similar employment challenges.
