Mark V. Caruana

I found Mark quite inappropriate business wise, met him to go over possibly taking my case, he seemed quite scattered, but I figured he was out of his office setting so tried to continue with my issue. It was different, but ok until he walked me out, started talking politics & abortion, and quite... strongly, told me if I voted for Trump, he would pray for me. I didn't say a thing about voting for Trump or politics or abortion! WEIRD for an attorney to go there when it had nothing to do with my potential case, it made me quite uncomfortable, like if I didn't agree with him, he wouldn't take me on. Continued to tell me he was a single father and his wife cheated on him twice. Ok?!?!? I'm in a very scary and tenuous situation in my home, due to conditions out of my control, as well as health issues. He tied me up for 2 weeks (I spent putting info together as he asked) then when I asked a simple "yes or no" question he said we weren't a match, no explanation or even a phone call (via text). I am old school and find that a bit cowardly, not to mention unprofessional! Back to square 1! Thanks for wasting my time! Probably for the best, I should have done my homework first, need a high-powered elder abuse firm, blessed I found them shortly after his "not a match text". I waited a day and a half, plus 2 texts from me for that! He may very well be a good litigator, I don't know, but as far as the humanity side with a new client and appropriate conversation, no thanks! I feel confident the 5 stars were slam dunk cases with lots of bucks. That is why they are called ambulance chasers, this was not my case, is it an elder abuse resulting in PI. I also asked him if he would write a letter if I paid him his hourly fee if he didn't take the case and he said he never charges for a letter but didn't even address that in his text. I'm all about integrity and keeping your word. Maybe time to retire Mark!

Mr Caruana was very respectful and understanding when it came to my personal and emotional feelings after witnessing the traumatic car accident I was involved with. One man lost his life and the other is permanently disabled. Fortunately, I survived with bumps, bruises, stitches, a scarred memory ...and the guilt of having lived. Mr. Caruana was always available on the phone and in person for me at any time. He kept me up to date with my case and stood his ground in front of other lawyers and legal personnel when it came to what he believed was right! I would recommend him to anyone who needs a honest, professional lawyer who stands by his clients' intentions.

I agree with the clients who rated him with one star. Poor ethics and certainly a lack of professionalism. Taking my calls were a burden to him as evidenced by his tone of voice and the the way he belittled my questions during sporadic calls. Would tell me what to do (almost in a demanding manner), b...ut was not interested in explaining his reasons. After several months, I discovered he was not even working on my case, thus he never had any new information for me. He seemed to not care. In the end I received the same treatment from him, he suddenly became aggravated and hung-up the phone on me.

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!

I believe he was lazy and just didn't want to bother with my case , He actually admitted I had a good case but that it was too much work. WOW I was speechless , he practically sendme on my way without any explanation on why He wouldn't take the case , or if I should just dismiss it . No ambition what...soever and just plain Lazy . How sad.
