Great Attorney

Rocco Cipparone is an impeccable attorney! When I was injured Rocco visited me at my home. He truly is a attorney who cares about his clients and has great integrity. Rocco will fight for you and do the best for you. I would recommend Rocco to anyone in my family. Brian Battaglia

Rocco Cipparone

I set up an appointment with Rocco to get some legal advise .The consultation was scheduled for one hour. He spent at least an hour and a half talking to my wife and I .I was extremely nervous prior to the interview.He was able to calm me down and speak to me and assure me that he would be there for ...me . The consultation fee was minimal compared to the relief that I received when I left his office . A great lawyer and a great person .I cannot thank him enough for everything. If you need an attorney hire him immediately.

Family Law and Civil Issues

I sought out Mr. Cipparone's legal counsel with several divorce issues. His advice was spot on and he helped me resolve a difficult situation. Additionally, I hired Mr. Cipparone for a significant landlord/tenant and a separate condo association dispute. His strategy resulted in a resolution 100% i...n my favor. Thank you, Mr. Cipparone!

Divorce

He represented me in my divorce while I was incarcerated 1400 miles away and not able to effectively contribute to my case, I lost 50% of my pension when, in the spirit of the law, it should have only been 38%...

Outstanding Criminal Defense Attorney!

Mr. Cipparone is an excellent criminal defense attorney. I trusted him with an extremely serious criminal matter, and he fully vindicated my trust by securing the best outcome possible for me (all charges were dismissed in their entirety). All aspects of his service were excellent, from initial str...ategy all the way through to negotiations with both the county and municipal prosecutors. I would strongly recommend Mr. Cipparone to anyone facing criminal charges.

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.
