Lamson & Cutner, P.C.

Julia Santo and Kris Slifkin are wonderful! I found myself in desperate need of an Elder Care attorney last spring and Julia literally came to the rescue!! Julia and Chris “held my hand” through the overwhelming process of paperwork, Medicaid, provided resources, gave clear direction on how to navigate the various systems and just as important, were there for me any time I needed them. I highly recommend Lamson and Cutner and specially, attorney Julia Santo!!! Thank you!!!!

As a caregiver for many years of a family member who had Parkinson's disease, our Licensed Clinical Social Worker at our hospital Neurology Department presented me with three names of eldercare law firms as my family member's health was declining. I interviewed all three firms, then selected Lamson & Cutner to proceed with our eldercare requirements for help in navigating the ever changing legal requirements as to long term nursing home care when on USA Government health care insurances. I am so happy to have found this law firm for help , my family members agree ,that it was the wisest decision for me to make. No one can do this complicated legal work alone and it is best ,if possible to proceed with legal issues when the ill person can still understand and contibute their own desires as to what their assets distribution ,usually but not exclusivly into an Irrevocable trust, as well as critical end of life decisions to their family which should be then ultimately drawn up in legal documents by an Attorney . As the LSCW stated to me when I hesitated thinking "I had so much time to get to this issue" ...'Don't put it off"!

Favorite law firm to work with in NYC. Super knowledgeable on all things elder law & special needs planning. Look no further!

The team at Lamson & Cutner is nothing short of stellar. I spoke with their office manager Tom on the phone and he was very helpful and took the time answered all my questions pertaining to estate planning for my parents. They are genuinely try to help you and are not trying to sell you any products you don't need like other estate planners. My parents ultimately did not end up use this law firm because they are not native English speakers and preferred a lawyer that spoke their native language but the staff at this office are rock stars and I would not pause to recommend them for your estate planning needs.

I attended Lamson & Cutner's "Long-Term Care Planning and Updates on Changes to the NYS Medicaid Program" on Mar. 24, 2021. I thought that David Cutner's presentation was excellent--extremely informative and valuable. I have attended other presentations given by attorneys from his law firm and have been extremely impressed by the caliber and professionalism of every one, .

We have been working with the firm of Lamson & Cutner since 2014, and we would recommend them highly for their expertise and their understanding of the needs of their clients. We and another friend consulted them originally about the situation of someone who was entering extreme old age with no family. The staff are knowledgeable and adept at navigating the complexities of institutions, and they helped us maintain her in independence and dignity in her last years. In 2020, we have turned to David Cutner to deal with our own legal affairs in this pandemic season and he has been most gracious and forthcoming in addressing our concerns and getting us to a speedy and satisfying resolution.

David was a joy to talk to. Pleasant and relaxed, he explained everything and more that me and my sister needed to know and answered our questions. I highly reccomend!

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend L&C. The attorneys and staff are professional, very knowledgeable and competent, as well as being very nice people. That combination makes for a very satisfied client.

Five stars is really not enough for this firm. My parents engaged a different firm to handle their estate planning and related matters. That experience was nothing short of a horror story. Lamson & Cutner attorneys were asked to undo the damage. They were unlike any of the other attorneys we've dealt with - kind, caring, compassionate, patient and so much more. We finally felt that we were working with HONEST and trustworthy professionals. They were able to help my parents recover from mistakes made by their prior attorney. They also went to great lengths to ensure that my parents received exactly what they were looking for, and understood every aspect of the process. Don't bother looking elsewhere! David Cutner and his team are the only attorneys you need to look at for elder-related and estate issues. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

I've only used the email newsletter, but found it very helpful. Will continue to follow this aid.
