Quinton B. Cutlip is a senior associate at The Dolan Law Firm.  His practice focuses on helping good people who have suffered physical and mental injury or who have been the victims of fraud or civil rights abuses.  He litigates throughout California.  He enjoys fighting insurance companies, heartless corporations, careless governmental entities, and reckless businesses.  His dedication to his clients has resulted in significant victories for people who were hurt by hazardous roadways, negligent drivers, dangerous products, dishonest people, and bad cops.

Quinton graduated cum laude from the Louisiana State University in 1989 with his Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology.  After working in public health in New Orleans, he attended the University of San Francisco School of Law and earned his law degree, cum laude, in 1993.  He was admitted to the State Bar of California in 1993 and to the State Bar of Texas in 1997.  He is admitted to all courts of the State of California.  He is also admitted to the United States District Courts for the Northern, Eastern, and Central Districts of California and to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.

Quinton has engaged in appellate litigation before the California Courts of Appeal for the First and Sixth Districts of California and before the United States’ Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.  His victories include an extraordinary writ of mandate from the First District Court of Appeal to protect an injured client from being subjected to an improper mental examination during the course of litigation.  The Court’s opinion is legal precedent that strengthens the protections for injured people statewide.  (See Carpenter v. Superior Court (2006) 141 Cal.App.4th 249.)  The decision is cited in published guidebooks and legal treatises for California lawyers.

Quinton has been a proud member of the board of directors of the San Francisco Trial Lawyers Association since 2008.  He is also a member of the Consumer Attorneys of California, the American Association for Justice, the National Police Accountability Project, and the San Francisco Bar Association.  He believes in his clients, and he fights for their rights.
