I can't speak highly enough of Chris' skills and the experience we had working with him on a complex administrative appeal. Chris demonstrated exceptional attention to detail and to critically analyzing the facts of the case to build persuasive testimony. He was extremely sensitive to the regulatory climate and to the importance of maintaining relationships with state agencies through the process. Chris' ability to be both a strategic thinker and quick responder makes him well suited to handle cases of all types. Above all else, he is a team player, unequivocally committed to excellence in his work and a tremendous asset to his clients.

Christopher successfully defended me in a criminal investigation from the U.S. EPA. He was extremely thorough and used witnesses and outside investigators effectively.

When I was corporate counsel for an $8 billion global CPG company, I engaged Chris to partner with me on a sensitive project. He was up front with estimates and able to tweak his approach to meet the organization's needs. He has exceptional executive presence and can deliver difficult messages with grace and professionalism. He's a problem solver and a great asset to corporate counsel and business people alike.

My company hired Chris Carusone to defend us against a complaint filed by an ex-employee in the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission. Chris quickly got up to speed on the situation and assembled a strong defense of our position. We won! He is now the only lawyer my company uses. I trust him.

Chris is one of the most thorough and trusted individuals with whom i have been engaged. We worked together in his capacity as director of legislative affairs and in every endeavor he was fully prepared, provided excellent briefings for my review and provided excellent professional guidance. He is highly respected by his peers, co-workers and professional colleagues for his experience, integrity and honesty. Based upon my experience with him i would highly recommend his counsel on any level of professional needs.

I had the privilege of working with Mr. Carusone, both in his time as Executive Deputy General Counsel and Secretary of Legislative Affairs, in the office of Gov. Tom Corbett. Mr. Carusone is bright, articulate, patient, and results oriented. He can chart multiple paths to success and navigate each of those paths with skill, dedication and know-how. He is a tremendous advocate.
