Outstanding service
I was served with a lawsuit for debts I didn't recognize, I wanted to fight it but didn't feel confident going up against corporate lawyers. I almost gave up because all the attorneys I contacted quoted fees almost as much as the alleged debt, but I contacted Richard and he took the case with no cost to me. He was very responsive and communicated throughout the process. In the end the case was settled in my favor and I couldn't be happier. Richard made a very stressful situation easy to deal with, I can't thank him enough.

Best lawyer ever
A more competent professional lawyer than Richard Cipriano you will not find. He will resolve your case with a win in a professional and timely manner. With a simple electronic signature he resolved my case. If you've already hired a lawyer, fire them and hire the Cipriano law group!

More than thankful!!!
I contacted and hired Mr. Cipriano in order to assist me with my case from a debt collection. He did an excellent work by representing me and by providing continuous updates either by a personal call or by email. Mr. Cipriano had my case dismissed and I didn't have to go the court. I'm so grateful and will recommend him 100%

Collection Notice
Attorney Richard Cipriano helped me when I needed it most. I was served legal notice that I was being sued for a past debt and was very concerned that if it went to court, I would lose and be responsible for court fees. However, Attorney Cipriano explained my options which helped calm my fears. He negotiated with their attorneys, secured a favorable resolution, and expertly filed all the necessary paperwork. I am very pleased with the outcome and would highly recommend his service to anyone needing legal assistance.

Man of His Word
Richard Cipriano helped us through a very stressful situation. He clearly and thoroughly explained what was going on and what we could expect from him. With his confident, kind, and reassuring words, he took on our case right away, and relieved us of all worry. He seemed almost too good to be true, but he is a man of his word. Our case was settled very quickly, and in our favor. I highly recommend him!
