About Carl Alessandro
Carl Alessandro Maltese built a legal life that balances courtroom work and community involvement. He carries a small‑firm practitioner's hands‑on style and a courtroom lawyer's willingness to take cases to trial.
He earned his undergraduate degree from Providence College, receiving a B.A. in Humanities in 1993. He went on to study law at Touro College Jacob D. Fuchsbe. Those academic years set the groundwork for a practice that would span state lines and decades.
Maltese began practicing under his own name in 2002. He established the Law Office of Carl Maltese and has operated from that base since then. He is admitted to practice in New York and Florida and has handled litigation in both jurisdictions. Over time he has guided individual clients through contested matters that reached trial and settlement stages alike.
Professional organizations have been a steady part of his career. He holds membership in the New York State Trial Lawyers Association and in the Suffolk County Bar Association. He served as president of the Suffolk County Columbian Lawyers, a role that placed him in a more public leadership position within the local bar. He is also a member of the Million Dollar Advocate Forum and is listed with Super Lawyers. Within the Suffolk County Bar Association he has served on the Supreme Court Committee and on the Plaintiffs Insurance and Negligence Committee, indicating a steady engagement with the procedural and substantive questions that affect plaintiffs' litigation in the county.
Colleagues describe Maltese as methodical in preparing a case and deliberate in court. He breaks complex issues into manageable parts for juries and judges. He prefers clear, direct presentation over technical verbosity. That approach has informed both his case strategy and his work with clients, who often require careful explanation of process and risk.
Outside the courtroom he has remained active in local bar activities and committee work. His roles have kept him connected to developments in insurance and negligence law at the county level. That engagement also gives him an ongoing perspective on practical practice issues, such as court procedure and local litigation customs.
He continues to operate the Law Office of Carl Maltese. He concentrates his practice on plaintiffs' insurance and negligence matters and on civil trial litigation in New York and Florida.
