Paul Caputo and his team have been nothing but supportive from beginning to end. As a client with no prior experience to how cases would play out, Paul and the team walked me through each step while encouraging me to take my own actions in the best interest for me. I can’t be any more grateful and appreciative of the help and service they have done. I would recommend to all that are in need of legal help to work with Paul Caputo and his team if possible!

Post-Verdict
We are deeply grateful to Paul Van Der Walde, Esq. for guiding our family through one of the most difficult times in our lives. After my father was tragically struck by a car and passed away, we were overwhelmed and unsure where to turn. Paul Van Der Walde, Esq. handled our case with compassion, clarity, and unwavering dedication. He helped us navigate the insurance process, explained every step, and fought for fair compensation. I wholeheartedly recommend Caputo & Van Der Walde, LLP to anyone facing a personal injury or wrongful death case. Their integrity and kindness made all the difference.

I’ve known the people at Caputo & Van Der walde LLP my whole life, especially Shawn Smith, Paul Caputo & Paul Van Der Walde. Corinne Abrego also helped me tremendously. When I was in a bad car accident with a preexisting condition caused by an underinsured driver, I knew exactly who to call. I trusted they would kill it for me- and they absolutely did. This firm fought hard on my behalf, made sure I received , and walked me through every step of the process. Their expertise, dedication, and attention to detail went far beyond my expectations. They not only secured a result that changed my life after surgery and recovery, but they also made sure I always felt comfortable and understood exactly what was happening. I couldn’t have picked a better team. Shawn, Paul, Paul & Corene are true professionals who care deeply about their clients, and I am beyond grateful for the results they delivered. If you ever need attorneys who will go above and beyond for you, Caputo & Van Der Walde is the firm you want in your corner.
Owner response
Taylor: Thank you so much for your kind words. It truly was an honor to work with you, and I’m so glad we were able to reach this outcome together. Cases like yours, where an accident worsens a pre-existing condition and leads to surgery, are never easy. Your strength throughout made all the difference.

I can’t say enough good things about my experience with this firm. From start to finish, they were incredibly helpful, knowledgeable and genuinely cared about my case. They took the time to explain every step of the process, answered all my questions patiently and made sure I felt supported throughout. As a fresh young adult that made this process so much easier for me! Thanks to their dedication and hard work, I was able to get a fair settlement that I’m truly grateful for. If you’re looking for someone who will fight for you and keep your best interests at heart, I highly recommend Paul Van Der Walde. Absolutely top-notch service!

car accident
Post-Verdict
Bottom Line: Caputo & Van Der Walde, LLP is an outstanding law firm and I would very highly recommend them to all my family and friends needing injury and/or accident legal help. About 1.5 years ago I was involved in a car accident. A driver hit me while I was in my car stopped at a red light. Her car was totaled and mine had a lot of damage due to being hit from the rear and also being pushed into the car in front of me. Within a few days after the accident, the driver’s insurance company began contacting me to settle immediately for a nominal sum. However, I was experiencing back pain and indeed, ended up requiring major back surgery. About 3 weeks after the accident I contacted Caputo & Van Der Walde, LLP (referred to me by a “friend of a friend”) as I was concerned about the medical costs. From the very start, Paul Caputo, and his team, Shawn Smith and Corene Abrego, treated me with professionalism, respect, kindness, compassion, generosity, and humor. They skillfully guided me through the litigation process and immediately earned my trust, which helped reduce the stress involved in the decision making steps. They were so approachable, making me feel comfortable asking every question I could think of, always promptly corresponding via phone, email, and/or text. I have no doubt that Paul and his team were exceptional, obtaining the best possible outcome for me. While I hope this is the one and only time requiring an injury/accident lawyer, I would not hesitate for one second to contact Caputo & Van Der Walde, LLP again.

Your team made David and I very comfortable through this process. We appreciate everyone on the team. Thank you for being so helpful and understanding.
Owner response
Stephanie, it was our absolute pleasure working with you and David in this very unfortunate case. Your landlord's failure to take care of the deck causing it to rot and have you and David fall through was the definition of negligence. As you know, getting your landlord to take responsibility and pay for your injuries was no small task, but we were happy to help!

Post-Verdict
I was referred to Caputo & Van Der Walde as I was in an unfortunate accident at the beginning of 2024 leaving me with a permanent injury. Kathryn was super helpful in the beginning and was able to explain everything simply to me so that I completely understood what was going on throughout the process. Paul ended up taking over my case and was extremely diligent in ensuring my case was handled appropriately. He ensured I was copied in all conversations with insurance parties and never made me feel like an inconvenience when I had questions when I didn’t understand something. I appreciate the open communication and wouldn’t hesitate to use them again.
Owner response
Hi Erin, it was our pleasure helping you with your auto accident case. We appreciate the five star review and wish you the very best.
