I made the decision to hire them based on a strong recommendation, and I can confidently say that I have not regretted it even for a single moment. While there may be other prominent law firms that boast about being the best, my definition of excellence lies in accessibility and responsiveness. Unfortunately, this is not always the case with some of the so-called heavy hitters who rely on call centers and inexperienced paralegals to handle your concerns. In contrast, David Philippone stands out as the most exceptional workers' compensation attorney. If you ever find yourself injured at work, he is undoubtedly the person you want fighting on your behalf.

Dave is very driven and focused and alway's has your best interest at heart. Communication is key to me and Dave alway's kept me up to date on all aspects of my case. He really does care about his Clients. The outcome of my case was successful thanks to him, I highly recommend him to anyone in search of a WC attorney, you won't be disappointed. A huge amount of stress was relieved in my life due to the efforts of this man.

Wow, I remember praying for the right Lawyer to represent my Workmens Comp case. I was truly blessed to have David Philippone as my Lawyer. He had the best interest for my long term outcome and with that being said… I can never thank him enough for the wise decision he made for me. David you deserve a 5 star. I have and will continue to be a voice for your ability to deliver. Once again THANK YOU

I just wanted to take a moment and tell you how incredibly blessed I am to have Dave Philippone as my attorney. Dave's character and impeccable reputation speak for themselves! I first met Dave and his family about 10 years ago when I sold him a piano for his daughter and I'm glad for that meeting. I say that because I didn't know then how much I would need him now. He has literally saved my life and my family's as well. Because of his pit bull mentality in the courtroom my family has survived a life-altering injury! Because of Dave my family has remained intact through circumstances that have torn others apart. Dave has constantly fought for me even when I thought it was impossible! He has never turned away from any question, nor missed a single phone call! During one of the darkest times in my life I couldn't ask for a better person to stand and fight with than Dave! Dave has made going through this season as easy as possible. I have and will continue to respect and recommend Dave Philippone to anyone who has to go through a work related injury, because there is no one more qualified and no one better to have on your side! Thank you Dave for everything you have done for me and my family! We could not have made it this far without you! Thank you for continuing to stand and fight with me! We have claimed many victories together and I am confident we will continue to do just that!

Mr. Philippone has been our Workers Comp Lawyer for approximately the last 20 years. He is one of the most ethical hard working lawyers I have ever dealt with. He and his staff are always available for any questions we may have pertaining to the case at hand. He and his staff keep in touch through the whole process from initial claim to settlement which is usually a couple years when all is said and done. I can't think of anything he did not do for us, in fact we think so highly of him we have referred many people over the years, and will continue to do so for many years to come I am sure.

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.

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%!!
