Professional and helpful

An auto accident disabled me and we were forced into bankruptcy. It became complicated because there was also a law suit with an insurance company that dragged on for over 4 years. Judson Carusone was extremely helpful and patient as this quagmire was navigated, and even helped us find an excellent... motor vehicle accident attorney. Highly recommended.

Administrative Suport

Judson represented my case during my hearing. He was professional and attentive during this difficult situation. He was very knowledgeable and easy to work with.

Ethical and Committed

I was losing everything because of 9/11, and my then retiring attorney brought Jud in to save the situation I was in, which was complicated by an adverse proceeding in BK Court. Not only did Jud prevail in the proceeding, but he went on to win all of the litigationists' appeals all the way to the 9t...h circuit court. He did this by being ethical and taking the high road, out-smarting and out-working the litigator at every turn. To this day, he is complemented by other attorneys for this land-mark case that even caused Oregon law to be changed. I am a business owner and have had many attorneys over the years, but Jud is by far the most understanding, capable, balanced, intelligent and problem-solving attorney I have ever known. I would recommend no-one above him.

Always Does the Right Thing

Mr. Carusone won for us against an out-of-state, high-priced attorney by being a better lawyer, researching case histories and doing the right thing. An amazing human being, father and husband, we were lucky to find him!

Experience

Rating:  10.0 (Superb)

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2006.

Reprimand issued in OR, 2006

updated on 12/05/2009

This means the lawyer did something wrong but the bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
