Review Paul Caputo

Best Personal Injury Lawyer

Posted by SuzanneWed Oct 24 2018

After consulting with four different lawyers regarding my personal injury, I hired Paul Caputo. He is the only one who suggested meeting me in my own home since I had suffered a traumatic Burn. He was always professional, kind, and consider it. He fought hard to get me the best deal. I am very grateful to have worked with Paul.

Excellent attorney, very pleased with results

Posted by LorraineFri Oct 07 2016

Mr. Caputo and his associates and staff were easy to work with, and very organized. He communicated well, explained details of my personal injury case, and gave me a good perspective with which to manage my expectations. He provided excellent legal expertise and I felt confident moving forward based on his assessments and advice. He obtained what I believe to be a fair settlement to all parties. I appreciated that he responded to my many questions in a prompt time-frame over many months. He is personable, warm, and all of the individuals that are associated with this law firm come across as caring and personal, which is much appreciated when one is suffering from an injury. I highly recommend this attorney.
