Excellent Lawyer!

I hired Mike in September of 2017 for a Felony G- 1st Degree Reckless Endagerment of Public Safety, Bail Jumping Felony, and Possession of a firearm while intoxicated. Mike was able to reach a plea deal that had my best interest in mind as well as all original charges dropped. He is an extremely goo...d lawyer and I highly reccomend him!!

Fights Hard And Plays To Win

I hired Mike after being dissatisfied with a different attorney, who had handled my case up to that point. The Sunday after I hired him, Mike called me and said that he was going over my case and had some questions he wanted to clarify. I was very impressed that Mike was working on my case on a Sunda...y afternoon. Even though my case became way more complicated than we had originally anticipated, Mike stuck to the flat rate that he had quoted, and didn't ask for any more. Mike always answered the phone when I would call, or called me back quickly. Mike met with me multiple times, as the case progressed, and always explained everything clearly. Mike is by far the hardest working criminal defense attorney I have met. I had been charged with two misdemeanors and a felony, and we were well prepared to go to trial, however the prosecutor chose to accept the plea offer that WE had put on the table - one misdemeanor and pay a $50 fine. While nobody can perform magic, I am convinced that Mike is the best defense attorney in Kenosha. He works very hard, pays attention to the details, and is always very well prepared. If you want to see the details of my particular case, look up Kenosha case number: 2012CF822 on CCAP, and see for yourself.

You won't find another lawyer that knows the law better or is as battle tested as Mr. Cicchini. No matter how difficult the case, he will find a winning defense. His jury trial record cannot be matched by anyone in the area. He fights to win ---- and succeeds!"

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
