My experience with Caputo - Van Der Walde law firm was extremely positive from the very beginning! I was injured in an auto accident February 13, 2024. My injury required surgery, a 3 night stay at Good Samaritan Hospital, an almost 3 week stay in a nearby skilled nursing facility for recovery. From the moment I called Caputo - Van Der Walde Law Offices I received outstanding service, support, and encouragement. I had the opportunity to speak with Attorney Paul on my initial phone call. Paul was very helpful and caring. His approach set the foundation for my experience with Caputo - Van Der Walde. I was directed to Don Peeler, Don was very helpful and caring from the onset. He asked me to bring certain documents to the law office, upon delivery I had the pleasure of meeting Don in person. I also had the pleasure Of meeting Corine Abrego on my first visit to Caputo - Van Der Walde. Generally when I called Caputo - Van Der Walde Corine answered the phone, always warm, caring, and helpful. Most of my contact at Caputo Van Der Walde was with Shawn Smith, my case manager. Shawn's work was detailed. Shawn was always available to answer any questions I had. Shawn guided me as to how to proceed with the next step in providing Shawn with documents, copies of bills, and any information he needed in order to submit the specific information to specific agencies. Shawn always provided me with copies of emails he had received from individuals/agencies he was working with to complete my case. My out of pocket expenses were paid to me, I was also given a pain and suffering settlement. All paper work for my out of pocket expenses and pain and suffering settlement was completed and coordinated by Shawn Smith, with assistance from Don Peeler. I felt the work and coordination done by Smith and Peeler was accomplished in a very timely way. All in all everyone at Caputo Van Der Walde was very easy to work with, very cooperative. I truly believe the mission of Caputo - Van Der Walde was the help me in every way possible. My best interests were certainly their top priority.

Don Peeler, their Intake Coordinator, is a gem. Professional, knowledgeable and calming. During my brief interaction with the firm, Don treated me respectfully, returned phone calls and answered emails in a timely fashion. Although the firm did not move forward with my case, they provided a referral to another firm that would be more appropriate for my situation. This was an all-around pleasant experience, as I deal with unpleasant circumstances. Thanks team!

Caputo and Van Der Walde was the standout firm for me when I was looking for representation after my car accident. I was very overwhelmed by the whole process of consulting with lawyers. After doing consultations with three different firms, Caputo and Van Der Walde stood out to me because of their professionalism, their thoughtfulness, and their consideration for me as a person. I felt tended to, and any time I was confused, their staff always helped me out and let me know what my options were. I felt like I was in capable hands at every step of the process, which is the best thing that I could hope for. I'm happy with the settlement I got and I was happy to put faces to names and thank everyone in person at the end of my case. A solid group of capable, caring people! Thank you for making this part of my injury very easy!

Paul Van Der Walde was referred to me by a family friend. I was getting overwhelmed in my search for a personal injury attorney as there are so many. I am incredibly grateful for the work that Mr. Van Der Walde did on my case. I never felt intimidated by the legal jargon and instead felt like family. He has great knowledge and understanding of the law. We would never have gotten the results we did without a great law firm! My case was settled outside of court. Julia, Evangelina, Shawn, and Paul Van Der Walde are a great team! It is the best decision I ever made. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
