Highly regarded among peers and a brilliant legal mind!!!

If you want the only the best legal mind to defend you, please hire Rocco Cipparone! I was charged with a first degree felony and Mr. Cipparone, through his brilliant attention to detail and knowledge of the law, turned the case around and all charges were dismissed. The case was extremely complica...ted and included many details connected to other parties. A first degree felony conviction would have put me in prison for a long time. Mr. Cipparone worked diligently in his research and presentation and completely halted the direction of this case against me. I am free and very grateful for his tenacity and ability to have all charges dismissed. I would also like to add that another very prominent defense attorney recommended Mr. Cipparone to me. That says a lot when one of his peers recognizes his reputation for being one of the best. Mr. Cipparone is extremely intelligent, professional and respected by the courts. Whenever we were in court I was so happy he was my lawyer. He was professional, well spoken and prepared. If the judge tried to question some detail Mr. Cipparone knew his research and how to handle the situation. Nothing rattled his demeanor or strategy. Mr Cipparone has many years of experience and it was obvious in how he fought my case.

Fantastic Defense

Mr. Cipparone handled a federal mail fraud case for me. From the first day I walked into his office to the sentencing hearing he was extremely professional and fair. He could have taken far more money if we had gone to trial. Instead he advised me to do what was best for me. It is hard to find th...ese qualities in a attorney these days and he certainly has them. His expertise and experience in the Federal system is amazing. He is a prime illustration in that the cream rises to the top. I would highly recommend Mr. Cipparone to anyone. He is one of the premier attorneys in the country. You will not be disappointed.

Honest, Knowledgeable and aggresive

Since being introduced to Rocco from a family-friend, Rocco has been our “go-to” for legal advice. Most recently, our family was facing an accusation that could have turned our world up-side-down. We immediately turned to Rocco, who was able to discredit the accusations and have the case dismissed. T...hroughout the ordeal, Rocco kept us informed and was very genuine; he never made promises that were impractical and he showed true concern for the outcome. These characteristics have not only built his career as a reputable and well respected attorney, but have also built a long-lasting friendship that my family and I value and we will forever be grateful.

IF YOU NEED A LAWYER, ROCCO AND HIS TEAM ARE THE ONES TO HIRE

I've never needed a lawyer before so needless to say I didn't know where to turn. Rocco was recommended from a friend and after leaving him a message and having him return my call on a holiday told me leaps and bounds about his caring, honesty and professionalism. He and his associates and staff are ...very responsive and always took my calls and emailed me back. they walked me thru the whole court room procedure and I was totally prepared. their advice was key and things turned out the way we had hoped and prepared for. he is very honest and will tell you exactly how he thinks it will go and what he can do for you. no tricks, no gimmicks, just many years of experience and knowing exactly what to do and how things should be handled for you. I would trust him with my life and so should you.
