Business Executive

I can't speak highly enough of Chris' skills and the experience we had working with him on a complex administrative appeal. Chris demonstrated exceptional attention to detail and to critically analyzing the facts of the case to build persuasive testimony. He was extremely sensitive to the regulatory ...climate and to the importance of maintaining relationships with state agencies through the process. Chris' ability to be both a strategic thinker and quick responder makes him well suited to handle cases of all types. Above all else, he is a team player, unequivocally committed to excellence in his work and a tremendous asset to his clients.

Christopher successfully defended me in a criminal investigation from the U.S. EPA. He was extremely thorough and used witnesses and outside investigators effectively.

Skilled Corporate Legal Partner

When I was corporate counsel for an $8 billion global CPG company, I engaged Chris to partner with me on a sensitive project. He was up front with estimates and able to tweak his approach to meet the organization's needs. He has exceptional executive presence and can deliver difficult messages with... grace and professionalism. He's a problem solver and a great asset to corporate counsel and business people alike.

Skilled Lawyer

My company hired Chris Carusone to defend us against a complaint filed by an ex-employee in the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission. Chris quickly got up to speed on the situation and assembled a strong defense of our position. We won! He is now the only lawyer my company uses. I trust him....
