Couldn't be more impressed by Morgan

I highly recommend utilizing Morgan for an attorney. She had my best interests in mind the entire time and fought for them endlessly. She was extremely professional, responsive, and attentive to any questions I had through the duration of my case. I can't say enough good things about her.

Awesome Attorney

I can't thank Morgan enough. I was in a tight legal situation and I was lucky to find her. She saw me last minute and took full control of my case and told me to give all my stress and anxiety to her and I can call her at anytime. After being gouged in the past by other attorneys, Morgan's rates a...re exceptionally reasonable and her knowledge of my case in such a short time. Again, I can't thank Morgan enough!

Morgan has great outcomes!

Morgan was hired to defend me with a misdemeanor charge, First time offense. Morgan has great repore with many of the area prosecuters and judges and was able to get me in a program that would relieve me of any criminal record. She explains things in a way that's easy to understand, she also appears ...on your behalf so for many of the court dates I did not have to interrupt my busy work schedule. She is very responsive by email or telephone. I felt comfort in knowing she was representing me and that I would get the best possible outcome. She is hardworking and dedicated to each and everyone of her clients. She also offers electronic payment options that is very user friendly and conveinent. Thank you so much Morgan!

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outside of my control i was unable to meet the $2k a month child support payment as court ordered in 2012 based on outdated income from when i was a business owner and had substantial yearly income.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.

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

  • 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.
