Chicago Trial & Appellate Lawyer Carmen Caruso engages in complex litigation and arbitration, relishes the opportunity to take his opponents to trial, and has won decisive, cutting edge legal victories and obtained multi-million dollar recoveries for plaintiffs and savings for defendants.
In practice since 1983, Carmen has been privileged to represent clients in all industries in Illinois and nationally including Fortune 100 companies, industry leaders, exciting start-ups, vital trade associations and some very talented individuals -- and in each case, Carmen prides himself on being his clients' most trusted advisor and dedicated advocate.

Carmen "gives back" as a frequent pro bono speaker on important legal topics and by being active on issues that affect our communities. |
