Great Attorney!

Joe was very professional, start to finish. He was also pleasant, and answered all our questions. He is smart and knows his stuff. Highly recommend Ed…

Stellar representation.

Joseph Cessario came to us very highly recommended from another attorney and we know why: from the beginning stage to the closing on our new home he provided us with stellar representation. He was/is extremely responsive. He had a “steady hand on the tiller” throughout the process including during ...the one or two rocky moments with two other places on which we had previously bid. This spring/summer was a very competitive and challenging time to purchase real estate in our area and we were very fortunate, (and grateful to the person who recommended him), to have engaged Joe with Cummings and Lockwood. His expertise and experience were very reassuring; he explained everything clearly and patiently, several times more than once. Selling and buying a home is stressful enough as it is, working with Joe helped reduce the level of our stress. He provides the highest quality of representation and we give him our highest recommendation.

Highly Recommend

I have bought and sold properties before and dealt with several attorneys but none compared to working with Joe Cessario. He is knowledgeable, detail oriented, calm, accessible, and a clear communicator. Working with him was a wonderful experience. From accepted offer to closing he took the time t...o speak with me about each step, was very responsive when I had a question and executed a very smooth process from beginning to end. I highly recommend him!

Highly recommended

We highly recommend Joseph. He worked for us all the way to a successful closing on a new home in Stamford in a professional and kind manner. He was available to answer every question and to solve any obstacle along the way. Thank you !

We cannot recommend this Attorney enough.

Joseph was a great help all along the way through the sale of our home. His knowledge and great communication made what we perceived to be an overwhelming process in to a successfully manageable step by step plan.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
