Helpful and knowledgable
Matt Caruso came highly recommended to us, and we in turn would recommend him, without reservation, to anyone dealing with inheritance issues. We were treated with unflagging courtesy.

Master Of Negotiations
There are no words to express how grateful I am to have had the pleasure of working with Matt Caruso. He was truly a savior in my son's father's estate case. Prior to Matt Caruso's appointment as Special Administrator by the DuPage County Court, we were faced with constant road blocks and delays. ...
Matthew Thomas Caruso's Lawyer Endorsements
"I highly recommend Matt. He is a highly skilled attorney and well respected in the legal community."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"Matt has been my supervisor and boss since January of 2008. Matt has taught me virtually everything I know about this profession. The first and most important lesson is that: "We represent our clients. We don't represent the opposing attorney, or someone else's interest." I am happy to work for Matt, and consider him an excellent attorney."
"I have known and worked with Matt for over two decades on a number of complex matters. I give Matt the highest endorsement. He solves complex issues, and fights for his clients. Matt is also a skilled listener and mediator who can bring two fractious sides together in hotly contested estate litigation when he is appointed to act as the executor. Matt did exactly that in a contested estate matter I worked on earning the respect and trust of both war sides thus achieving a fair settlement. Matt's great expertise in estate and trust matters make him the go to attorney in those cases in DuPage County."
"Matt is a brilliant and tenacious trial lawyer. He is also a very skilled peace maker and mediator. In a very complex contested estate matter, Matt played all of these roles as the Court appointed Special Administrator. He earned all of the warring sides trust and respect and when needed wrote well thought out and researched briefs and examined witnesses with great skill. Absent Matt's many faceted skills this case was resolved. I have the greatest respect for Matt. He is one of the best lawyers I have worked with over my 30 year practice. I strongly endorse him."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer."
