Excellent Lawyer

I am a senior and I went to Dominic Caruso needing a Living Will and help settling an estate. My friends sister had just passed away. Mr. Caruso advised me in detail where I should go and what I should do. His fee for doing the Living Will was very reasonable. I was so happy to find a lawyer who ...I felt comfortable and who could help me. I am going to recommend Mr. Caruso to all my friends.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
