Excellent

Great attorney... Did a excellent job on my case. Reduced my case from a domestic violence to a disorderly conduct. Did a great job with my traffic violation as well.

Amongst many she stands apart.

Firstly, please let me assure any readers that I am neither compensated nor influenced in any way to write this review. I am an actual client of Morgan Caruso's. The following review is to attest to her character, professionalism and dedication to what she does. I was facing 3 felony charges in Me...dina County for failure to pay child support. Due to many circumstances outside of my control i was unable to meet the $2k a month child support payment as court ordered in 2012 based on outdated income from when i was a business owner and had substantial yearly income. From the very beginning Morgan treated me like someone she had known personally for years. Prior to this, her and I had never met. It was very clear, early on in our 8 month endeavor, that she was dedicated in what she chose as a profession. She was a breathe of fresh air. She remained diligent throughout the 8 month process. Answered every call in a timely manner, was quick to reply to text messages and went out of her way to do what she knew was best for me and my case. She seemed to be able to get the impossible done with little to no hesitation. I live out of state (IN) so court dates, filings and such were a bit more of an inconvenience and timely of a process as it would have been to someone facing the same charges but living locally. She didn't bat an eye. She took care of everything and made it work. I was facing serious penalties that included possible imprisonment. Toward the end of our hearings she mentioned that she was negotiating thoroughly with the prosecution for probation and court costs. I knew that would be best case scenario but chose not to get my hopes up as I like to hope for the best but expect the worst. As of last week Morgan and I plead No Contest and I have agreed to except exactly what she had been working so hard towards. I will be sentenced to Probation (that will tranfer out of state making it easier for me to comply being that I live almost 5 hours away) I honestly think that had it not been for Morgans dedication to her work I would or would soon be rotting away in a prison cell. I would encourage anyone in need of a competent and honest Criminal or Civil Attorney (i know they are few and far between :-) ) to consider Morgan for representation. She is far above fair, honest and understanding. Thank you Morgan from the bottom of my heart for treating me as you have. Should I have any additional legal needs it goes without question you will be my first call. You have earned a client for life.

Morgan Caruso did an amazing job with my case!

Morgan Caruso did a phenomenal job in defending me. I couldn't have asked for a better attorney. When I felt like the odds were stacked against me, she calmed me down and started looking for a solution right away. She had my back and wanted nothing but the best outcome for me. I was looking at multip...le felonies and some jail time. She went above and beyond to help me drop down and dismiss these charges. She worked hard and got all the facts needed to properly defend me and did everything a great attorney should do. I was at ease walking in to the court room with her. Knowing you have someone who truly believes in you and will walk a million miles for you makes this that much easier. Sometime piece of mind is all you can ask for and she definitely took all the weight off my shoulders. I didn't spend any time in a cell and am living the best life I can today all thanks to the second chance I was given. Words can describe how appreciative I am of her services and what she has done for me. So if your in a pinch and need someone who will do whatever it takes please look no further. I know for a fact that she will do everything she can to represent you to the fullest. And Morgan if you ever see this I just wanted to thank you again for believing in me and giving me all you got. It meant the world to me. Best of luck everybody!

Ms. Caruso got me a misdemeanor out of 2 fifth degree felonies.No probation just 100 fine and court cost. Never seen any attorney like ms. Caruso. I have been in and out of the legal system since 1982.She the best Alex P.

I got charged because my 16 year old had a party where over 200 kids showed up with alcohol!

Morgan was the friendliest, hard-assed lawyer I have ever met! She calmed me down, explained my options, and resolved my case sooner than even the court expected! She was phenominal in negotiating! My end result is community service for 25 hours and my case is closed and will be expunged. She even... assisted me in paying my first offenders cost by asking the court to let me do community service instead! I never expected this to go away so fast! The incident happened in August, 2015 and will be completely non existent on May 18, 2016! Morgan was always available to discuss any concerns I had! I honestly feel that she is more my friend than my attorney. I'm really going to miss talking to her after this is all complete! I don't trust many people, but I would call Morgan before I'd call anyone else if I'm ever in legal trouble again! You just "Can't go wrong with Caruso"!! Thanks so much Morgan! You are a wonderful person and an incredibly gifted attorney. Best always... Sue from Pepper Pike, Ohio
