Michael E. Ciochina

Like many of the other reviews Mike and his paralegal almost never responds to texts, calls, or emails. When they do it is generally nonsense. Unfortunately, legal shield recommended him and other more promising attorneys were not taking clients at the time. I paid every invoice without dispute but h...e was never prepared as he should have been and fumbled around on nearly everything. It seems his conversation are purposely long winded and end with no action. On one court case he admitted to not reading the proposal from the other party but said I should take it. I had read it and flatly refused as it was in no way fair. I ended up with joint custody instead of weekly supervised visits which so far has lead to 100% custody of one child, no thanks to him. On another court case I did not even get confirmation he will be there it was very stressful waiting and not knowing on top of everything else. After months of no communication and another court case coming up I am forced to go it alone.

Good morning Michael E. Ciochina, I want to start by saying thank you so much for the respect, consideration, concern, and professional job you did on my son's custody case. Thank you for the excellent legal representation We could not be happier with the results of our trial. You made a very critica...l difference in my granddaughter's future. As a concerned Mimi I was fallen apart known the a bruise and torment my granddaughter would go through if we would not have being able to get her out of the environment she was in. Your legal counsel and positive attitude reassured us everything would be okay it was a process but thank God you where there every step of the way. The extra time and effort put forth on your behalf until the end was truly appreciated. The process was challenging, but in the end we can breath a lot better at night knowing that my granddaughter is safe and well protected. I pray that she will continue to wake up happy everyday knowing that she is truly loved and safe. Thanks again for everything you done for our family to bring this precious little girl back home. Thanks for displaying experience and skill to get the best results possible for our family. PS I don't want to leave anyone out your secretary /paralegal Tonya is awesome she was always respectful and listen when I needed someone to talk to awesome woman. I hope God continues to bless your law firm.

I hired Michael to handle a child custody issue. I paid him 6 months ago and he still has not done his job. He does not call me back or keep me informed. I will call his office and the phone will just ring and ring. I have actually had to drive to the office and force some one to speak with me. They... have a full time secretary so I'm unsure why my phone call would go unanswered unless she is screening my calls. He has no compassion. Do not hire him.
