Truly your advocate

Jim was my fourth matrimonial attorney and after firing my first three, I was just fed up with the "system" and mediocrity. I felt that I would never find someone to care about my situation as much as I cared. Jim proved me wrong. Jim Caruso is a sincere, caring legal professional that vests himself... in his clients situation. He is pragmatic in his approach and offers realistic goals and outcomes. What Jim provides his clients is not only exceptional service, but he is thorough, creative and passionate about his clients success.

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.
