David Phillippone is a WC lawyer in the Syracuse area. In my 25+ years in the WC industry, one often runs into obstacles that prevent a timely adjudication of a claimant’s case. David has been a contact of mine at the orthopedic practice where I have worked for 14 years. I am pleased to say that David has gone up and beyond for me with guidance to understanding WC Law, how to interpret decisions from the NYS WCB, forwarding pertinent information regarding a client’s case, providing updates in the WC world as well as assisting me with a claimant’s case for billing purposes. David puts the claimant first and goes the extra mile for his clients. His knowledge of the WC law is unprecedented and I am thankful for his expertise and guidance.

I felt like they never had time for me and continued to blow me off. I had to keep calling and they kept giving me excuses and asking for my phone number. Incredibly disrespectful. Several of my coworkers have used them so I would've thought they'd be courteous. Guess not. I would never recommend them ever!

Mr. Philippone is the best attorney there is when it comes to ins and outs of the workers comp law. There is no way possible that I would have won my case with any other lawyer. Mr. Philippone was right upfront with me from the start that there was a very slim possibility that I would have a chance on winning my case due to the time that has passed from when I fell on the ice in the poorly lit parking lot at work, and the time of my surgery, for the injury to my neck that left me disabled for life. However; Mr. Philippone, won my case by guiding me step by step through the legal process by translating all the legal terminology into plain English for the average person who is not in the legal field to understand. He has been there for me every step of the way, answered every single question I have had in the past, and has not hesitated to answer any of my questions I have had since he won my case for me. To see Mr. Philippone in action in the courtroom left me speechless the very first time I witnessed him. He anticipated the opposing side and was very well prepared for what they were going to do and say. He certainly does his homework and doesn't go into the courtroom unprepared for anything that may arise. Without Mr. Philippone on my side, I would have lost everything I own and would have been deep in debt in medical bills - especially in prescription costs alone - for the rest of my life, due to an accident that happened at work. Mr. Philippone knows what questions to ask, when to ask them, and when and how to present all the information to best benefit his clients. Mr. Philippone also has an outstanding team supporting him in the firm, Oot & Associates, that he currently works for! When Mr. Philippone is not available to take a call, the team supporting him, is knowledgeable in the cases he is working and can assist as well. They all become like a family while working for YOU at the same time. He is FAIR, TRUSTWORTHY, HONEST, QUICK TO RESPOND TO CORRESPONDENCE, UPFRONT AND COMPASSIONATE about all the work he does. On a scale of 1-10 on a referral rating - he gets a 15+. He is definitely the lawyer you want on your side! I owe him everything for being where I am today, for keeping my family in tack, and keeping me in my house that I have worked so hard to get. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Mr. David J. Philippone for everything! You are the Best!

My work injury resulted in a condition that is very difficult to diagnose, and in certain circumstances easily challenged. David still took on my case, even though the odds did not seem in my favor at all. He guided me through every step, always in a professional, courteous and knowledgeable manner. Whenever I had a question, he either emailed or called me back that same day with an answer or advice. He consistently had things taken care of in a timely fashion. He assisted me in winning not only health coverage for my injury, but difference in pay, and now a settlement. I would recommend David to anyone with a workers comp situation. Not only is he incredible, all of the staff at Oot and Associates are as well.

David Philippone has the most integrity of any attorney I have ever worked with. He is intelligent, organized, honest and dedicated but most important he is compassionate and truly cares for his clients. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my legal needs.

Oot&Associates is an excellent Workers Compensation and Social Security law firm. From the start they were on the job. I had a couple different attorney's to start but ended up with my savior Attorney David Phillipone. I may be a little partial but in my opinion he is the best. Not only did he help with my case but was concerned with my welfare. I could go on and on about him. He not only became my lawyer but in the process became a dear friend. You cannot go wrong if you pick this firm!!!

Wouldn't trust anyone else, he is organized, efficient, honest and caring. Would recommend 100%!!
