Christopher Boucher, Esq.
JD cum laude, 2017
Attorney-at-Law
Wiley Price & Radulovich, LLP
“I graduated from ALU in 2017 with a Juris Doctor Degree while working full-time as an HR executive for one of the nation’s largest aviation and maritime ports in Oakland, CA.
With ALU’s support, I became a California licensed attorney-at-law when I passed the bar exam on my first try that same year. I’m especially grateful for ALU’s flexible learning method since without it I wouldn’t have been able to hold such a demanding position while earning my JD.
In my current role as an Attorney for Wiley Price & Radulovich, LLP I am able to utilize my expertise representing employers in a union environment, including labor negotiations, changes to existing terms and conditions of employment and/or the effects of those changes, and the meaning and application of labor contract provisions.”
Mary Lee Caruso, Esq.
JD Cum Laude, 2011
Attorney — Alder Law P.C.
“I graduated Cum Laude from Abraham Lincoln University’s School of Law in 2011. I was able to achieve a successful balance between being a student and a full-time Paralegal, studying and attending classes on evenings and weekends, not only because of ALU’s online platform but because I’ve been working since I was in high school when my father became disabled.
Today, I’m a practicing Attorney in the areas of personal injury, including catastrophic injuries, motor vehicle accidents, premises liability, product liability, wrongful death, elder abuse, and insurance bad faith and have settled cases in excess of $50 million dollars. For more than 18 years now I have been an advocate on behalf of plaintiffs and have taken the lessons I learned from working all my life to strive to help individuals who have been wrongly injured, obtain justice.”
Mary has been recognized as a Super Lawyers Rising Star from 2016 to 2022, and was featured an article “Better Late” published in their 2020 Southern California Rising Stars Magazine.
