Outstanding. I highly recommend.

Outstanding. I can't thank Lou enough for everything that he did for my family. After becoming pretty jaded over the years he renewed my faith that there are good, honest, compassionate people still out there. I was injured in a very bad auto accident after being hit from behind at a high rate of s...peed. My car was totaled and I was left with neck and back injuries requiring over a year's worth of physical therapy. My initial attorney prior to Lou was only interested in what was in it for him, not what was best for me and my family as his clients. When that attorney came to his conclusion that there wasn't much money to be made, he released us and left me hanging to deal with a very large, unreasonable insurance company that offered a settlement that wouldn't even cover my medical expenses. I was left on my own with no where to turn and no other options. Until I called Lou. From the very first call Lou was different. He listened to my story, empathized with me, gathered all the facts and immediately started to develop a plan on how to help. Lou was genuinely interested in helping me not get taken advantage of by the insurance company. He said I was being treated unfairly and he wanted to make things right. Lou knew it might be a tough fight, without much of a payoff but he took my case on anyway because he sincerely wanted to help. And he did. After fighting on my behalf for over a year, Lou triumphed over the insurance company and got us the maximum settlement that we could get. Over three times the initial offer made to us. I was extremely surprised and excited about what he'd accomplished and the financial settlement helped my family tremendously. I can't thank Lou enough for his help and support during a very difficult time.

Personal Injury

My family and I were involved in an auto accident in which we were rear-ended. My car was a total loss and I required treatment. I contacted Mr. Cutrone who immediately contacted the adverse insurance company and filed my claim. My property damage claim was settled in less than 30 days and my injury ...claim was settled which resulted in what I believe was fair for the type of injury I received and for the subsequent treatment I obtained and my loss of earnings. From the beginning Mr. Cutrone took control of the claim and stayed in constant contact with me throughout the process. I have recommended Mr. Cutrone several times to family and friends over the years and was thanked by each one for recommending Cutrone & Associates to help them. All had nothing but praise for him and his staff.

Excellent Attorney, Incredible Individual

I grew up in the television era, watching shows like Perry Mason and Matlock. The appeal of these fictional attorneys was their ethical standards, passion, tenacity, compassion for their clients, their knowledge of the law, their sense of fairness, and the love of their calling. Yeah, it was a callin...g for them, not just a medium to procure income. In reality, I’ve had dealings with attorneys over the years; none of them ever came close to what was portrayed on TV, just a necessary evil. That is until I met Lou Cutrone of Cutrone & Associates. He/they operate, in reality, with the compassion, ethical standard, passion, tenacity, sense of fairness, and the love of the calling; bringing to life what we all deep down know attorneys should be.

Posted by Valerie | February 02, 2014 | Slip and Fall Accident

You should consult with this attorney

I highly recommend Mr Lou Cutrone. He has that unique blend of being attentive and kind, while fighting hard for your case at the same time. I had a slip and fall accident resulting in a broken foot, and Mr Cutrone did an excellent job of settling my case. I know he also deals with much larger ca...ses…and I have sent several people I know to him & I can testify that they are all very happy with Mr Cutrone. They come back and thank me profusely for this referral and I think you will too!

BEST CRPS LAWYER I COULD FIND

About two years ago I had an accident at a restaurant where my chair collapsed and I fell and broke my wrist. I also aggravated a condition I have in my left foot known as Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS). CRPS is one of the most painful injuries you can have and after this accident, my pain re...turned worse than ever and I felt like I was losing my mind. I had hired Lou Cutrone to work on another case several years ago and he did an excellent job so I went back to him for this accident. I showed up at Lou Cutrone's office a few day's after the restaurant accident pretty banged up, but my biggest problem was the pain from my Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) condition. The pain after the accident was off-the-charts awful. Nothing like it was before the accident. To my Surprise Lou Cutrone was an expert lawyer on CRPS injuries and I was so happy that he was! Plus I knew he would take great care of my broken wrist and injured shoulder. I ended up needing two surgeries and it took my pain management doctor over a year to get my CRPS under control. My Case took some time to settle because I had to recover which took a long time. Lou Cutrone had a huge fight on his hands with the insurance company for the restaurant and the lawyers they hired. They really tried to low ball me but Lou Cutrone was ready to go to trial. When my case settled I was extremely happy with the outcome!! If Lou Cutrone wasn't a good expert on CRPS cases, mine would never have settled for the amount it did. All I can say is, thank you so much Lou, I don't know what I would have done without you! Rodney G.
