Marlana A. Caruso majored in philosophy with a concentration in critical thinking and a minor in political science. That unique background allows her to think outside of the box and have a different perspective on how she views aspects of a client’s case.

“It also allows me to relate a bit more on a personal level, and that connection and direct interaction with people is why I got into family law,” she said.

Ms. Caruso said she enjoys being able to work in an area of law that directly affects people’s lives. Her impact is evident in her work, including one particular case where she was able to reunite a father with his children after the mother moved the children out of state against his will.
