Best Defense Attorney in the State

Lisa Caruso is an amazing attorney! Her professionalism, demeanor, and courtroom presence are beyond reproach. I came to her after incurring a brandishing charge. She was very knowledgeable and treated me with respect. She paid attention to me and my case as she did all her others. I know that there ...are more serious charges that one can be brought up on, however she knew that as her client I needed to be listened to and reassured me that she would do all in her power to represent my case thoroughly and with the best possible outcome. Throughout the process she was engaged and walked me through everything that was going to happen as it happened. She made me feel as if she was with me every step of the way. On the day of the trial she came prepared and defended me in court better than I could have asked for. She made great arguments and the case closed with a verdict of Not Guilty. Lisa is the best choice for a Defense Attorney in the state, hands down. While I hope to never have to go to court again for any reason, if I had to, Lisa would be my first call.

NEVER HAD BETTER ATTY (i've had many)!!

I was so very blessed to be recommended to Lisa Caruso in Prince William County. Unfortunately, my record is extremely long. I have spent a lot of time incarcerated during my 47 years. My record is so terrible that in the event that I receive even a simple misdemeanor charge because my record is so t...errible, judges are reluctant to give me bond. In fact I met Lisa through a fellow inmate who recommend her services after I had already been incarcerated 5 months and had exhausted all 6 different Bond hearings & appeals...of which I was denied every time! I had used up all of my chances to receive Bond or even have a bond hearing. Not even a week after I contacted Lisa Caruso she got me out on bond, which began our relationship that I am so happy and lucky to have. She's the quintessential perfect lawyer. She not only is aggressive but she's also very professional, and stylish. She has all the necessary political contacts, and good relationships with the prosecutors and judges -which as you may or may not know is a huge part of the whole Justice system. Her confidence in her own abilities is infectious (and a bit cocky which I love but not snobby which is also great). During all the times of worry that I had during the process of my case, she always eased my mind. She not only assured me that she was going to help me (and that my fears were unnecessary) but she proved it every single time we went before a judge or prosecutor. I only had to tell her what it was I needed,! or wanted to come from our court appearance that day.. whether it was a continuance or some type of plea that I could live with ... she not only got me a plea that I could live with... she got me one that was even better than I could imagine. A Godsend is all I can say about Lisa. I am so very very thankful for the day that I met the girl who recommended her. Even that girl was under some serious serious charges of which she received very minimum minimum time. That girl also said she owed it all to Lisa Caruso. She believed that no other lawyer could have done what Lisa was able to do for her either. Not only the best Attorney I've ever had but, Lisa is very compassionate, and because of that I also consider her a friend. She's aware of my situation, and the fact that I am on disability. She not only worked with me as far as the amount of money she requested to take my case but , she has allowed me to make payments. For that I am also so very very grateful. I've had many lawyers ,both paid and public defenders, and I have never ever had a better lawyer!! Even the one I paid over $20,000 to many years ago (when my whole stupid jail system tour started ) did not have the skills or the ability to help me the way that Lisa has. Lisa was much better than that lawyer and I wish I had had Lisa back then. I wouldn't have gone through the things I have gone through since then. My suggestion is don't even blink an eye or think twice: Call Lisa Caruso right now... no matter where you are..even if you're in jail at this moment- call her collect! I did and it was the best decision I've ever made. Respectfully, Heather

Hardworking, amazing lawyer

My experience with the office of Lisa Caruso was great, she is very professional, trust-worthy, extremely reliable and will go to battle for you. I was facing some extreme charges that carried a possible sentence of 15/20+ years in prison. After assessing the case and hearing what truly happened Lisa... Caruso assured me that I wouldn't go to jail. Come our court date, true to her word she saw that I didn't in fact see any jail time. I recommend Lisa Caruso to anyone that comes to me with legal troubles and will continue to do so. The most dedicated and passionate lawyer I have met.

Misdemeanor drug possession

I had a minor drug possession charge. She did an excellent job of easing my nerves before trial. I had a personal vacation already planned for my originals court date and she was able to get it pushed back. I was informed she would probably be able to get my case dismissed with an agreement of commun...ity service and drug screens on my part At my first court appearance the arresting officer wasn't present so she told me to call her back after a certain date to find out when I would have to come back. When I called the final time she told me my case had been dismissed! Without anything on my part!

Our Saving Grace!

Mrs. Caruso is the definition of professionalism, sensitivity, and class. We hired her to represent our teenage daughter with a very complicated traffic related situation. Mrs. Caruso went above and beyond to provide us with a sense of comfort throughout the entire process. Her legal expertise was ev...ident with the reduction of charges, with eventual total dismissal. I would recommend Mrs. Caruso to anyone seeking peace of mind, knowing they or their loved ones are in the best possible hands.
