This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Rocco was the best!

I highly recommend Rocco. He did an outstanding job handling my case, providing excellent guidance and support throughout the process. Rocco was not only knowledgeable and professional but also incredibly kind and approachable. He took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure I felt comfo...rtable every step of the way. I'm grateful for his expertise and dedication, which led to a successful outcome. If you need a reliable and personable lawyer, Rocco is the one to choose!

THE LAWYER YOU WANT ON YOUR SIDE!!!

Rocco was professional, attentive, and dedicated to helping me navigate my situation. He was always available to answer all my questions and provided clear guidance throughout the entire process, and I am extremely grateful I was referred to him. I have never been arrested in my life. I was at the Ne...wark airport and had a expandable baton in my backpack while going through security. I have been flying with this baton for over a year and never had an issue, but unbeknownst to me, a simple baton is illegal in NJ and I was placed under arrest. I was referred to Rocco through a mutual friend, and he explained all the details of my situation. He mitigated my situation at my first court date by speaking directly with the prosecutor and getting the charge downgraded. He led me through all the steps of the process and answered all questions, ultimately leading to community service, dismissal of my case, and eventual expedited expungement. He is a confident, realistic, optimistic lawyer and my case could have turned out much worse but luckily I had Rocco on my side. I am eternally grateful and if you need an attorney who will explain the facts in a way you can understand, and get the job done, you would be lucky to have Rocco represent you!

Professional. Efficient. Honest. Reliable.

I can’t say enough good things about Rocco Cipparone. Based on all the positive character and professional recommendations received from respected references, I decided to hire Rocco to represent me in defending a Municipal Court matter. He gave my case all the time and attention that was needed fro...m start to finish. He was extremely responsive and easy to communicate with throughout the entire process. He and his staff kept me updated on my case, and I always felt confident that I was being represented with my best interest in mind. Rocco was very professional and well prepared at my court hearings, handling everything on my behalf, and his attention to detail resulted in the best outcome for me which included an expedited expungement. Rocco Cipparone is an amazing attorney who cares about his clients, and I would whole-heartedly refer him to all my friends and family.

Me. Cipparone was relentless in his quest for a fair and positive outcome for me. A true advocate who was professional and extremely competent. An outstanding attorney!

Skilled, knowledgeable, honest

Based upon a recommendation from another attorney whom I hold in high regard, I hired Rocco to assist me with a criminal defense as well as a family law matter. From the start, he was honest, appropriately aggressive, and always stayed on top of the case. He communicated regularly and efficiently wit...h my other attorney as well as the other party's counsel. I was extremely nervous and apprehensive prior to Rocco becoming involved in the case, and Rocco walked me through every step of the way - he knew when to be comforting and empathetic and when to push me to do what needed to get done. He successfully defended me in both matters and had them resolved within 3 months. I joked with Rocco often about paying his bills, but I can honestly say that his knowledge, expertise, guidance, communication, and most of all - his successful outcomes were worth every penny, and I would hire Rocco again in a heartbeat (which I hope I will never have to do!). Thank you Rocco!
