Customer Review for Dawn Cutaia

After experiencing major financial issues, my husband and I decided to look into bankruptcy. We were not familiar with the bankruptcy process, and we did not know anyone that could give us any advice. After searching on line, we came upon Dawn's name and after reading some of the reviews, we decided ...to give her a chance. After contacting her, she immediately jumped into action. Working with Dawn was a godsend. She explained everything very clearly: the process and what was expected from us, her fees, court fees, meetings, courses etc. She helped us through the entire process. When we had questions or needed additional help, she would call us right back. She was straight forward with her advise. We could not have done this without her. Dawn became our go to person. We are very happy we found her. Thank you Dawn for everything!!!

One of York County’s best

Attorney Cutaia went beyond what she needed to do for my case. I’ve been in contact with numerous Attorneys over the years in both my personal and professional career and she is one of the best. I dealt with her years ago in my professional career and she was always working in the best interest of th...e clients and since that time I have utilized her for personal matters . She was very easy to contact and always returned my calls or emails in a very timely fashion and was very helpful with my case and went beyond what she had to and helped me navigate until I got the answers I needed. Lastly I highly recommend her and I feel she is one of the best Attorneys in York. I rarely give any reviews but I felt that she most deserved this rating.

Completely Honest and Trustworthy

I reached out to Dawn because I was in serious financial trouble and though bankruptcy was my only option. Dawn directed me to another option; One she would not benefit from financially but has solved my problems without using her representation in a bankruptcy court. I am grateful to her for her k...indness and integrity. If you need a lawyer who actually cares and wants what is best for you, give Dawn a call. I would recommend her to anyone and I am grateful I reached out to her and God forbid should I ever need representation of this sort, I would not hesitate to retain her services.

Fantastic Attorney

Dawn is very competent, honest and down to earth with a terrific personality. Everything she told me was truth and events transpired exactly as she said they would. She is as close to an empath as one can hope to find in an attorney. She has my highest recommendation and gratitude.
