Always looking for new challenges and seeking to improve as a litigator and trial lawyer, Mr. Caldarone accepted a position at a boutique complex commercial litigation firm where he represented a large state agency in an extremely complex civil action against several former owners of a large insurance company in South Florida who diverted and misappropriated tens of millions of dollars of premium, as well as litigating bankruptcy adversary matters, real estate matters, and partnership disputes in the state and federal courts of Florida.  That experience handling complex business litigation matters has prepared Mr. Caldarone for any business dispute.
