The poster-boy for the proverbial greediness of lawyers

Received payment for services but did not do anything. Terminated all contact. Missed over 10 appointments made. The paralegal/secretary refused to book appointments after a certain period of time. Missed the deadline of my appeal. I hired a new attorney. However, the delay not only caused negative e...ffects financially, but had had an adverse impact on my career.

CAN"T EVEN HANDLE A SPEEDING TCKET!!!! DON"T HIRE THIS IDEATS!!!!!!

Don’t Hire This Law Firm!! They can’t even do a simple speeding ticket!! Alright I hired this Law firm for a simple speeding ticket, paid them good money to get this taken care of so it wouldn’t show on my Insurance. I mean it's so simple that even the stupidest Lawyer should be able to hand...le it, right?? But not Luke Ciciliano, he didn't even do anything with the ticket. Never kept me informed or sent me any information on it at all. So about two weeks after hiring him I called his office and gave the person who answered the phone my case number. They told me that it would all be taken care of and that they would inform me if I needed to do anything. Now this was back in May of 2010.Two weeks ago (June, 2011) I receive word that not only has no one token care of my ticket but I now owe $400 and have a warrant out for my arrest. So I of course call the law firm and leave an “Urgent Message” which is what the secretary called it for him to get back to me. I have now been calling this Law firm for over two weeks with no response and have even sent them over 3 emails through this site and thro his email address that the secretary gave me. I guess that after they receive your money they have no reason for them to do anything for you at all, including taking care of what you pay them for in general. I also think its funny how all the secretaries in their office can only leave a message for them and not able to help you at all with anything else. Man I sure hope he doesn’t pay them a lot case they are pretty much useless. If you pay this law firm any money at all don’t expect to get anything in return but headache. I mean if they can’t even take care of a speeding ticket. How can they handle anything else?

Mr. Luke Ciciliano

Out of all the attorneys I have known who handle family law matters I would recommend Mr. Luke Ciciliano. What I appreciated from Mr. Ciciliano the most is that he was always available to take my phone calls and listen to me. He is an excellent attorney and I would recommend him first to any of my fr...einds or family members. I will also be retaining Mr. Ciciliano for any legal matters of my own that may arise in the future.

Child support reduction

Luke Cicliano was extremely knowledgeable concerning child support laws and knew what to expect in my case. Luke was able to discerne what amount of support was expected by the other party and by the judge and settle the matter quickly and easily. Luke was able to explain to me what to expect and was... always calm, collective and in control of handling the matter with the defense as well as the judge. I appreciate Mr. Ciciliano's help in this case and will use his services again in the future when needed.

Not your typical 9-5

Luke Cicliliano has been a real breath of relief in a family law case that has dragged on for the past three years. He is my 3rd attorney on this matter, but the first to really get the job done! He has made himself available at all hours of the day and night seven days a week. Ready with legal advis...e on my personal situation whenever I may need it. He is never in a hurry to get off the phone, spending many personal hours returning calls and answering reassuring emails. I wish I would have found him three years ago! While most attorneys are clock watching minute chargers only caring how much money they are billing for the time spent on your case, Mr. Ciciliano actually takes the time to be sure you understand what is happening every step of the way and exactly what you are being billed for. I've had an attorney that would charge me just for leaving a message with the secretary to have the attorney return my call. I would never get a call back, but I could always rely on a bill for leaving the message. Mr. Ciciliano will actually call me,even on weekends, to be sure I am comfortable and I understand all that is going on and going to happen in court. He has always been honest and forth coming, even if it was not the answer I was looking for, he always told me what to expect, what I should do and what the outcome would be, and he was always proven correct. He has handled my case in an extremely timely fashion and is well rounded enough to have been able to help me on a matter aside from my family court case in the justice court. If I ever need to obtain an attorney again in the future for any type case I definitely know the lawyer I have on speed dial.

Appeals lawyer | Jun 04

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer's work. Luke and I go way back to law school, but we also both grew up in Las Vegas. In law school we took classes together and sometimes studied together. He sometimes made difficult concepts understandable, a sign of keen intelligence. I was impressed that he was putting himself through law school and had been a dealer in town. He has a can-do attitude and instills confidence, but he can also be very aggressive (or zealous), and will fight for his cause without being overly concerned about thinking he has to get along with everyone. If I needed help on an issue, I would call Luke and ask him what he thought. I have also referred clients to him in the past."
