Jacqueline Ricciani

MS Ricciani was retained by me in September of 2011 to handle my child custody and divorce proceeding. She was referred to me because of her tenacity involving divorce matters and was well respected in the courtroom. It doesn’t take long to learn the reality of the process. First of all she is ...all bark with no bite. She may be much respected in the courtroom but one must wonder whose interest she is representing in that arena. She is unwilling to challenge or engage with the judge obviously because of her reputation as well as she earns her living in that court room every day of the week. She has no definitive plan. Her plan was nothing more than responding to numerous letters from the attorney representing my wife. She simply engaged in a letter campaign that literally costs tens of thousands of dollars over a four year period. She is not thorough enough to pick up on mathematical mistakes made by the court and then when only I questioned the mistake, it was simply try to sweep it under the carpet. Once again this cost tens of thousands of dollars. She forgot a court date and was even questioned by me about the date prior. And again this mistake not only cost me over a thousand dollars awarded to my wife’s attorney for the day but also she had the audacity to charge me for her services when the judge had her paged in the courtroom and of course she was totally unprepared for my case that day. This attorney is totally reckless, and ineffective. The best advice I can give is the same advice that was given to me by her prior firm. Do yourself a favor and hire another attorney, any attorney. I only wished I had taken that advice.
