Biography
John J. Caruso IV, legal attorney serving New York
John J. Caruso IV is an associate based in New York, NY. John has over 7 years of legal experience. Currently practicing at London Fischer LLP. John works from New York and takes on legal matters across the region.
John J. Caruso IV has worked in the defense of professionals and individuals since his graduation from law school and has practiced in New York state courts, including Supreme Courts and Appellate Courts.
John is a forceful litigator in the insurance defense industry, with a deep knowledge of multiple fields of practice, including motor vehicle accidents, personal injury matters, New York Labor Law, construction defect, property damage, and constitutional law.
John believes that any litigation requires a partnership between the lawyer and client and John prides himself on his ability to effectively communicate with his clients from the inception of a matter, developing resolution strategies, until its successful conclusion.
John is passionate about helping others, which is why he became an EMT to help those in need. Most of all, John loves spending time with his wife and three sons and hopes that they will one day share his passion to help others.
Notable Decisions/Results
John successfully defended a breach of contract action involving a multi-million dollar New York City Public Improvement project in Brooklyn , where plaintiffs alleged trust fund diversion, unjust enrichment, and sought to recover upwards of $18 million. While claims were asserted against multiple defendants, John identified that the plaintiffs failed to state a cause of action against his client and moved for pre-answer dismissal. Faced with the strength of the motion, plaintiffs opted not to amend their complaint but instead voluntarily discontinued their action with prejudice as against the client, which protected them from further involvement in a high-value litigation.
