Caputo & Van Der Walde - Injury and Accident Attorneys - San Jose, California

Rodney Nielsen

I highly recommend Caputo & Van Der Walde LLP. My wife was involved in an accident, and I was referred to Shawn Smith by a friend who is an executive at State Farm. He told me, "Every time State Farm goes against Caputo & Van Der Walde LLP, State Farm loses." That immediately spoke volumes about Caputo & Van Der Walde's reputation.

Shawn met with us, explained the process clearly, and outlined the goals of our case. From start to finish, he managed everything with expertise and kept us informed along the way. Thanks to his dedication, we received a maximum settlement in record time. If you're seeking justice for an injury, this is the firm to trust! May God bless Shawn Smith and his team.

Kathryn Montaperto from Caputo & Van Der Walde was professional and kind. I was injured in an accident and was nervous about communicating with the insurance companies. Kathryn took my case and handled any interactions with the insurance companies. She is a great communicator and very knowledgeable about law. She went above and beyond to make sure that I understood the time frame and process that we were going through. She is a great listener, honest, and was empathetic about my situation. I loved that she consulted with the whole team at Caputo & Van Der Walde. I am very happy with them and will not hesitate to refer them in the future.

We had the unfortunate need of retaining an injury lawyer for a motor vehicle accident involving my son. The Caputo & Van Der Walde team was stellar. In a time when emotions and worry were high for us, Mr. Caputo was compassionate, extremely knowledgable, friendly, had access to a great forensic team, and made sure we understood the process while making sure all of our needs were managed. Corene was amazing and made sure our paperwork, appointments, and all the tiny details were handled. Very professional group that I highly recommend should you need to retain and injury lawyer.

Paul and amazing support staff:

We can’t thank you enough for resolving this case for us. You don’t know how much it meant to me to have your entire office team there when I needed someone to listen, calm me down and take care of the many things that came up over these past years.
You all are awesome and we are so happy that we chose Caputo & Van Der Walde to handle this case for us.

I can’t say enough great things about Caputo and Van Der Walde and the support they provided after my car accident.

From the very beginning they took a HUGE load off of my plate. All of the paperwork, communication with my insurance company and the other party involved in the accident. This in itself lessened anxiety and gave me more space to focus on my own healing. They even provided a couple of health care professional referrals that were essential to my recovery.

Julia was the paralegal who I mostly connected with and she was kind, compassionate and extremely thorough. Her attention to detail and professional knowledge is exceptional while still feeling her warmth and understanding over the phone. One thing that sticks out is that I felt extremely validated every time we spoke 🙂

Unfortunately, the other party involved in my accident did not have insurance, yet Caputo and Van Der Walde team managed to successfully get the maximum amount allotted for me from my own insurance company which exceeded my expectations.

I highly recommend the team!

The Law Offices of Van Der Walde & Caputo really did an excellent job for me. They fought hard and got me a great settlement for my automobile accident injuries. They always returned my calls and they took the time to answer all of my questions. Their staff is friendly and very professional.

Paul’s assistants, Evangelina and Julia made it easy; always promptly following up on any faxes, email and voicemail. I hope I never get in an accident again. But if I do, it’s comforting to know an attorney that really knows how to fight for his clients! If you need help, you should call Paul Van Der Walde.

I was very impressed with the customer service and commitment I received from Caputo & Van Der Walde. After being hit by a driver running a red light, I knew I needed to hire an attorney, but I also knew I didn't want the attorney you find advertised on a bus because I know many people that have had awful experiences with those attorneys. I didn't want to feel like I was just a number. With Caputo & Van Der Walde I never felt like I was just another client. From the meeting with their office up until my case was settled, I was constantly impressed with their expertise, professionalism and most importantly; their friendliness. Whenever I called a real person answered the phone. Evangelina was an absolute pleasure, and I was impressed with her and Kathryn Montaperto who spent a considerable amount of time going over the process with me to put me at ease. I was very pleased with the outcome of my case and highly recommend this firm.

Caputo & Van Dere Walde LLP represented me in a high-speed car accident on a freeway where a car slammed into me from behind where I sustained long-lasting injuries. Throughout the process Paul Van Der Walde and his team provided courteous and professional handling of my case, extended support, and guidance during this very difficult time. Using their services and guidance allowed for a full settlement of my case, without a trial. I am very appreciative of their services and highly recommend them to anyone seeking professional representation.
