Caputo & Van Der Walde LLP

Paul Van Der Walde and his team bent over backwards to help me secure a fair and just settlement resulting from a serious car accident. He and his staff were genuinely warm and concerned about my emotional and physical welfare post-​accident. He asked about my healing on a regular basis and kept after me to do my PT and not give up. He fought hard for renumeration and explained in detail the ins and outs of the insurance process. He was always professional and kind, a very rare combination indeed. I would recommend him to my closest friends and family.

I cannot say enough great things about Caputo & Van Der Walde. The attorneys and staff are consummate professionals. From beginning to end, they were highly responsive, provided top notch representation, and were tenacious and aggressive about advocating on my behalf. They always responded promptly to my questions, listened carefully to my concerns, and always kept me informed regarding the progress of my case. One thing that always stood out throughout my case, attorney Paul Van Der Walde cared deeply about me and my case. And yes, I am thrilled about the results they achieved for me. Smart. Strategic, Aggressive. Professional. Caring. I highly recommend Paul and his team to anyone who needs a true champion to ensure the best outcome for their high-​stakes case.

In the fall of 2014, in Los Altos, I was a victim of malicious road-​rage attack while cycling. Initial overtures to the insurance company of the driver proved fruitless, so after extensive research on representation, I chose Paul and his team. Due to the complicated nature of the incident, my primary criteria in choosing representation was finding an expert with a thorough understanding of interacting with insurance companies, supported by staff with an insurance company background, backed by a proven track-​record of results.
Paul and his team delivered results on all measures, simplifying what could have been a long and exhausting process. Overall a fair and just solution, highly recommend!

After being in accident where i could have easily been killed, i was told by my insurance company i would need to find a lawyer to represent me. After doing a lot of research i came across Van Der Walde & Associates. i was extremely nervous that i needed to find a lawyer to represent me, but from the very beginning they made everything very easy. My life has dramatically changed since the accident. i have undergone 2 major back surgeries in less than 3 years. It plays on one mentally, but Paul was there if i needed support or just a quick phone call. After both surgeries multiple people from the office would just call to check to on me, and i could tell it was genuine concern not just for a legal document. i would highly recommend this firm to anyone in need of a solid lawyer. Besides winning my case, and getting me taken care of appropriately. i have met people who have helped me get through some of the hardest moments in my life. Paul, Julia, Edlina, and Irma will always be people that mean a lot to me.

Paul Van Der Walde and his entire staff made what could have been a horrible, drawn out process into one that was easy to navigate and ended satisfactorily. They were great about communicating everything clearly as we went through the process. I always felt like I knew what was going on and why, and they were very patient with my complete lack of experience and all my questions. While I hope to never need another personal injury lawyer, if I do, I would absolutely go to them first.

Fantastic folks who saved my otherwise hopeless auto accident case. It was so disheartening to be injured and exhausted, but everyone at Van Der Walde was professional and thorough, explained everything along the way as I was utterly clueless about the insurance settlement process. They stuck by me the whole way, going above and beyond anything I would have expected from a lawyer. Thanks so much to all of you at Van Der Walde!

I had Paul for a rear-​end injury case against a major insurer. Many lawyer did not want to take my case because they felt I filed my case too late and the insurance was very tough on injury lawyers. Paul was smart and persistent, and we beat a very powerful adversary and he got me the maximum claim. I will recommend Paul to anyone with a personal injury case.

5 Stars for Van der Walde and Associates. Paul represented me in a slip and fall accident and from the moment I met Paul and his team until we reached a very fair and equitable settlement they were outstanding and great to work with. This team is highly proficient and professional and they are also ethical, principled people. Paul and his staff stayed on top of the situation, carefully explained all aspects of what I could expect and there we no surprises. They could not have done a better job for me and I recommend Van de Walde & Associates enthusiastically.

Van Der Walde & Associates will be the one to choose if you need a lawyer working on your behalf. I was very happy with the outcome of my case. Paul and his staff give me the caring attitude and they work on my case in a proficient manner. I contacted the office to explain about my situation and they were able to see me in one to two
hours to listen to my important details about the injury on my back.

I have been working with Paul, Eva, Julia as other members in the law firm for my bicycle accident. They handled my case very professionally with great care. They always response to my questions/​requests promptly and also let me know the progress of my case in the timely manner. They even compensate me with the fees even though they do not need to do it. I am very happy with the results of my case and I highly recommend this lawyer to other potential clients.

I contacted Paul after a motorcycle accident that left me unable to work. Not only did Paul help me with the lawsuit, ensuring the little old lady’s insurance paid what was fair, but he has help in other areas of my life affected by the accident through timely referrals and advice. The staff was very helpful, friendly and caring. I can not say enough about the treatment I received during this time.

I recently had an amazing experience with Van Der Walde and Associates, and I highly recommend them. If you are someone who has a personal injury, please take the time to meet with them. The entire staff has a warm, caring side, with a side of sense of humor. I truly felt that they wanted the best for me, and weren’t only worried about money. They were super responsive, and always called me back; regardless of how trivial or repetitive my questions may have been.
In my situation, I had a case that was complex, with multiple parties, and a defendant who was not easy to work with. Van Der Walde and Associates never complained, nor gave up. They kept on working through things to find more and more details and witnesses to support my case. I truly felt that they were on my side.
In the end, not only would I recommend them to anyone with a personal injury, but I would also consider them friends. How many lawyers would folks say that about?
