Mark V. Caruana

I learned a tough lesson about how important it is to hire a professional lawyer with experience in the field! I was involved in a personal injury auto accident where someone went through a red light at 30 mph and crashed into my passenger side. My car was smashed up and I spent 1 day in the hospit...al. I was referred to a neighbor to represent me. This lawyer never arranged a personal meeting at his office - all was done by phone. After we started the case, there was no communication on his side and I had to reach out to him to find out what was going on. Every time I called he was out and even went on a 3 week surfing trip in Costa Rica during this time without letting me know. I was very lost and frustrated. I was then referred to Mark. He met with me in person the day I called. He told me up front that he would never take a case from a colleague, so he called my attorney to try to help me out. After not getting any response after a week or so, we both agreed that if I was going to settle this case I needed a "working" lawyer. This was a serious accident and the lack of attention from the prior attorney led to many errors in the case. The car should have been totalled (it was nearly repaired once I called Mark) and I suffered a herniated and fragmented disc. At once, Mark was committed to my case and communicated with me in person and on the phone throughout the entire process. He worked hard having to try to rectify the errors made in the case - and was able to settle the case quickly and successfully for me. He listened, he communicated and he negotiated well for me. I wish I would have called him first!
