David Howard Cutler

My wife and i had to file bankruptcy and go thru a foreclosure. Stuart Swanson handled our bankruptcy, and Joann Dinneen is handling our foreclosure. He knows the bankruptcy laws and answered all questions and worries that we had even before we filed. Stuart explained everything in a matter that ...a person who is not a lawyer can understand and he is understanding of your situation. Joann explained the foreclosure process to us and is very knowledgeable and professional. When we have emailed Stuart or David Cutler or Joann, they all answer your emails in a timely manner. My wife and I highly recommend Stuart Swanson and David Cutler and Joann Dinneen. All the staff at Cutler and associates is very professional and courteous. I have had several conversations with both David and Stuart over the years and they both are very knowledge lawyers and easy to talk to. My wife and I were very nervous about filing and kept putting it off and putting it off until we got up enough courage to make the first phone call admitting we were in trouble. After that first phone call there is like a weight lifted off your shoulders. ANY questions you have will be answered and explained to you. We cant say enough GOOD about Stuart and David and Joann, they are all nice people. My wife and I are just regular people who needed help and we got it!!!!! If your in trouble do yourself a favor and call and at least talk to them and explain your situation, believe me, they know the laws.

Let me start by saying I'm a picky person and I generally have low tolerance for lawyers who seem to want to be treated differently than other professionals who are equally experienced in their fields. I expect anyone I work with to use diligent communication, straight forward advice, patience, and w...illingness to help the person understand -- be it a plumber, politician, architect, lawyer, or the person who makes my sandwich. I hired this firm to handle a bankruptcy case that involved investment real estate. They were in the middle of an office move at the time and it seemed to cause some issues with meetings being rescheduled, etc, but all in all I received the discharge. Everything went smoothly and all my nagging/detailed questions were answered. Several months later, when the real estate finally was falling off, an issue came up with creditor for the property seeking collection activities/deficiency. This clearly isn't allowed given the discharge. Stuart, after an email and phone call, took care of the issue that evening and sent communication to the creditor that resulted in them back tracking and removing collection attempts. Cutler & Assoc (I worked w/Stuart specifically) is a well respected place that gets the job done. Do they always communicate perfectly? No. Do they know what they are doing? Yes. If you have a road bump come 3-6 months later, as in my case, do they stand by their work? Yes. Do I get the impression they at times forget what it's like to be on the other-we-dont-understand-what's-going-on-side? Yeah, but I think any professional does over time. Patience explaining and empathy towards a client's fears/worries they could improve on. People naturally get nervous and worried regarding legal matters, shouldn't be surprising. This is the firm to hire if you want a high class, get the job done, and service oriented firm. They aren't perfect, but they work with you, address what you raise, and they have a high integrity and work ethic. I would definitely recommend them for Bankruptcy cases. If anything, they are too busy, but that's a good sign.
