This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Do not hire for family law

Mr. Cioe does not care or listen to what you ask for. He tries to play both sides, drawing out your case racking up your bill. If you voice your opinion, or say one thing that he don’t like he is extremely rude and tries to con you into something that you don’t want to do. Mr. Cioe was extremely ...two-faced, and will act like he’s loyal to you, but he’s friending the other party to try to drag things on. If you’re going through a divorce or child custody, please stay far away from him. I feel like this is not his specialty.

Unsupervised processing of estate

Mr. Cioe assisted me through the process of administering my parent's estate. To keep the expense low, I wanted to do as much of the work that I could myself. To help in this matter, Mr. Cioe to applied to the court for the probating of the estate to be "unsupervised". This meant that Mr. Cioe too...k care of presenting items in court when needed, prepared required legal documents, and advised me on proper process as I handled everything else. The cost in doing it in this manner was much lower than any of the other lawyers had quoted. And this was accomplished from afar, as I live several states away. We made extensive use of fax, email and phone as well as the Post Office. Mr. Cioe was always very patient when I called with my numerous questions. I would recommend him to others and use him again myself if a similar situation arises.

If you want to be raked over the coals, hire him.

He was very expensive, so I thought the service would match. Not so. Additional costs kept adding in. There were things that he told us not to worry about then everything blew up and he tells the other party he didn't tell us not to act. BS.
