Proud Divorcee

Melissa cares about your concerns and gives it to you straight. There are no surprises. I knew I was in experienced and efficient hands. The confidence she exudes offers a sense of calm and protection during times of great distress. While I hope not to need her services again, it’s comforting to know... she is always ready and willing to get the job done.

Great Experience

Melissa really took her time to fully understand my situation and worked hard to advocate for my position and keep me informed every step. She understands what family representation means to the client. I highly recommend Melissa and her awesome team.

True to her word attorney

Ms. Cipriano is an excellent attorney. She is honest and straight forward. She is always, ALWAYS available to answer question, to discuss, whatever the issue may be. She always listens to her client and explains what has to be done to ensure the most positive results that respect both sides (firm... but respectful). LISTEN TO HER ADVISE and you will be in good shape.

Top Lawyer

Upon hearing that my spouse retained a lawyer looking for a divorce, I knew that I need a great lawyer. We were not married long and have 2 young children, which I wanted to remain in my life. After learning that my spouse wanted everything including full custody of the children, I started research...ing lawyers on AVVO. One lawyer stood out with outstanding reviews, Melissa Cipriano. Knowing this is a big step, I set up a phone conversation and being still hesitant, I asked for an in person meeting. I was total impressed and never looked back. The Cipriano law office and in particular Melissa helped me though a tough time, being there 24 hours – 7 days a week, like when my spouse physically attached me and was arrested Saturday night. Melissa keep me level headed while my emotions were very high. She always knew what the next step would be with her vast experience. She is well known and liked around the court room, which helped expediting my divorce. As for the results, I feel that I came out ahead, retaining the house, while being the residential parent. Melissa was able to bring great value to completing the MSA – Divorce judgement. I was able to save on costs to be given to my spouse and being able to take the kids to Disney for 11 days, while this was happening. When divorcing a former best friend, I felt grateful to have Melissa on my side and her staff, like Anna. Anna Shea is not a lawyer but the office manager. She knows Melissa for many years and a mother, she was able to provide advice and emotional support as well. I am extremely happy to know Anna. Now, I have a Parent Coordinator. He cannot resolve my issues after 5 weeks. I just want my daughter to go to a private gym class, not expensive, local, while very reputable. This Parent Coordinator does not allocate any time to us and does not return calls. I wish Melissa was my parent coordinator, which she is also qualified for. This would be a conflict of interest. The difference between Melissa and this Parent Coordinate is that Melissa treated me like family, while this Coordinator does not exist and lost my confidence. I did not research my Parent Coordinator like Melissa and this is something I have to live with… Since my divorce was finalized prior to Covid, I have no more contact with Melissa or Anna. I wish them well. Furthermore, I wanted to write this review, with the hopes that others will retain Cipriano law with the same success as mine. Thank you

Simply the BEST

Melissa and her staff handled my divorce and custody case in Sep 2014. By Feb 2015 I was divorced and Melissa fought and got me everything I was asking for. Hands down the BEST! Aggressive, professional and compassionate. I again used Cipriano Law when I petitioned the family court to move out of sta...te in May 2017. I was awarded that and then some, the other party had to pay my $7000 moving expenses! I'd definitely recommend AND use them in the future
