NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. – Prominent business and real estate law firm Newmeyer Dillion is pleased to announce that partner Michael McClellan and associate Jason Moberly Caruso have been selected to the 2019 Southern California Super Lawyers Rising Stars list.

This is his sixth consecutive year as a Rising Star honoree.

Jason Moberly Caruso is an associate in the Newport Beach office. Jason’s practice focuses on various aspects of “contaminated sites” environmental legal work, complex litigation, and appellate matters. This is the fourth consecutive year Jason has been honored.
