Eugene J Zingaro

Zingaro & Cretella lied to me incessantly and mishandled my case to a point their grotesque negligence made me lose everything I had. They told me things like 'you can't impute income in family court'. And how women are NOT eligible for child support with two young children and an ex making ov...er $500,000 a year. These folks have no idea what the law is, or they are absolute con artists who should not be in practice. Attorney Zingaro's behavior was not only egregious, but also highly inappropriate. My last interaction was grabbing my file and leaving their office in fear for my safety. He was physically and emotionally out of control. Even his staff was scared. Please reach out to me before choosing this firm to represent you. I will gladly supply you with documentation and details. Please take this decision very seriously.

I found Gene honest straight forward. He did not sugar coat the possibilities. Gene handled my divorce, and during the divorce process I fell into addiction, making g the case difficult for anyone, but some how Gene managed to work with the other dogs with intelligence and patience, right up to day ...of trial, and 1 hour before court he got them to agree with the important things ending in my favor. Not only that Gene was right by my side during addiction when everyone else gave up on me, getting into a rehab 2 hours away visiting me every weekend. I had 2 other case Gene covered for me both criminal, one assault and breech of peace that he got dismissed and off the record Waterbury, and another severe threatening charge 2 counts. Gene at 1am in the morning left his family to come post my bail 1000 against 10000 bond. As a result I had two protective orders and x wife took me to court for some custody. Gene was diligent with prosecutor, to get me programs, then working with my probation officer to the point a year later charges dropped to disorderly conduct and 90 dollar fine. The civil case Gene did nothing but stress to me and the court the importance of the kids having time with father and take part in their life decisions. The case ended in my favor, again I was amazed cuz of the criminal charge and my addiction history. Ione of the things I like was his confident approach, win attitude, I was a little taken back first impression I judged it as arrogance, but came to realize it was driven by passion and an extensive experience not only from the legal aspect, but from every day Life understanding of, addiction , family, Traumas, relationships, emotional struggles, ,mental illness, divorce, and parenting. All in all I had 3 satisfying cases, a divorce with Gene all as the underdog, and they ended with me being satisfied and grateful the work if Gene Zingaro. From the financial aspect he was reasonable, but less then another lawyer I consulted with for criminal cases, and alot less then a local lawyer I consulted with for my divorce.the only concern is he was very busy with cases and i worried about my cases but not only was it a non-issue, but it reiterated to me how good people know he is for a reasonable charge.

Attorney Zinger is a waste of time and money. He is not only unprofessional but rude. In our initial meeting he spent the entire time talking about how costly everything would be not how he would pursue my case. I've found a different attorney who was confident without being pompous and has worked in... my best interest every step on the proceedings.
