About Us

What makes a law firm great?
Service. Dedication. Results.

It was an unusual case. The client was a middle-aged, single woman who immigrated to the United States, and was subsequently diagnosed with cancer. She needed chemotherapy, medication, as well as physician and hospital coverage. The problem was that she would have to use all of her money and income to pay for her own care.

Making matters worse, she'd have to liquidate the majority of her assets before Medicaid would approve her for coverage, leaving her virtually penniless. Even then, she would be limited to the equivalent of an HMO, leaving her without access to the level of services she'd need to maximize the potential for recovering and staying well.

Yet Lamson & Cutner's Elder Law attorneys were able to prevail, protecting her finances and property with sophisticated legal planning and asset protection strategies. They secured approval of her Medicaid application. Additionally, the firm obtained qualification for a level of benefits that gave her 100% coverage, and allowed her to choose her own doctors.

This is the way clients are taken care of every day at Lamson & Cutner. Going the extra mile is the central pillar of the firm's philosophy of practicing law. Founding partner David Cutner understands first hand the financial and emotional difficulties clients face with an ailing family member who needs home or institutional care. He watched his own mother suffer a long decline when she reached her 70's, and spent many years dealing with Medicaid, hospitals, home care aides and nursing homes. That's why he insists that every client is treated with the highest level of service, courtesy and respect an Elder Law firm can provide.

Formed with partner Carole Lamson, the firm was built on the premise that every client would receive the most sophisticated, effective Elder Law representation available anywhere. As David Cutner says, "Our clients have worked hard to build up a lifetime of income and assets. They're entitled to keep as much of what they've earned as possible, and we're determined to protect every penny we can for them."

Carole Lamson adds, "Most people are not even aware of the benefits available to them under federal law, which can be very substantial." The firm has a consistent track record of delivering remarkable results to grateful clients, most of whom never even suspected the surprising range of benefits available to them.

Lamson & Cutner has assembled a top-notch staff, with extensive experience in Elder Law, Medicaid, estate planning and tax matters. It would be difficult for other law firms to match the level of knowledge and proficiency L & C makes available to its clientele. It has been the foundation of the firm's success in achieving exceptional outcomes for individuals, couples and families.

Clarity is an attribute clients appreciate from Lamson & Cutner. Medicaid attorneys at the firm know how to convey complex and often confusing concepts in a clear, understandable way. In fact, David Cutner has recently published an informative Special Report for clients and their families called 25 Strategies to Avoid Financial Ruin from Long-Term Health Care Costs, available free. In it, he shares wisdom gained from the long experience L & C's lawyers and staff members have had in dealing with Medicaid, and in protecting money, income and assets for clients.
