About Mark Caruso

For me, representing the rights of victims is more than a career-it's a personal mission. I graduated with honors from Pepperdine University in 1979 and with honors from Pepperdine University School of Law in 1982. I was a member of the Honor Board at Pepperdine University School of Law. I am licensed in all the courts of California and New Mexico. Early in my career I worked with the Federal Trade Commission in Los Angeles and as a lobbyist. For several years I represented large corporations and insurance companies handling auto accident and products liabilities claims. From 1991 until 1995 I served as an elected State Representative in the New Mexico House of Representatives. I have represented and continue to represent victims of auto accidents, premises liability, medical/dental/legal malpractice, breast implants, diet drugs (fen-phen and Redux) and Vioxx. I have regularly appeared in the news media to speak on auto accidents, diet drugs and breast implants. College of Trial Advocacy, ATLA (1988).

Thought that this law firm did a really good job getting me money from the insurance for the motorcycle wreck. Liked that I didn't get billed but only paid a percentage of the settlement at the end. Also, Caruso discounted the fee to 29% to get me more money. Liked these guys alot. Recommend them.

Great job on helping me on my accident. Reduced the fee to 29% so I could put more money in my pocket. Former insurance company attorney so he knew the adjuster's tricks. Got me really good settlement. Were able to get good discounts from all doctors who I owed money to. Highly recommend Caruso Law Offices.

I highly recommend the Caruso Law Firm. I hired the firm after a car accident where I was injured. The adjuster was giving me problems. Caruso straightened out my car repairs and worked with my doctors and therapists. Then he got me a good settlement that paid the doctors, the lawyers and me. Communications with the law firm were excellent. Also, they gave me a 29% attorney fee. (Another lawyer I talked to wanted much more.)

Attorney information displayed in this FAQ section is based upon information the lawyer has included on their profile, in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals.

These FAQs include information about a lawyer's background, but do not evaluate their knowledge of the law, past performance on individual cases, personality, or communication skills.

It is solely the responsibility of lawyers and law firms to ensure that any information they provide complies with all applicable laws and rules of professional conduct.

You should be aware that the information we rely upon may not be comprehensive, or frequently updated.

Always research the lawyer further to get a better understanding of their license credentials, disciplinary status, background, and experience.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
