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?

Highly Recommended

Mr. Ciciliano is currently representing me in a criminal case and has done nothing but continue to impress me with his concern for my situation, his diligence in ensuring my rights are represented, and his responsiveness to and counseling for my specific issues. I would recommend Mr. Ciciliano to ANY...ONE in need of legal services, especially if you feel your rights have been or are being violated.

Knowledgable, Prompt and gets the job done!

I am from out of state and was facing two felony charges that carried up to ten years in jail. Needless to say I was very stressed and felt helpless in my situation. I hired Ciciliano and associates after finding their lawfirm on the internet. Upon our initial telephone conversation he quoted me a r...etainer that was more then reasonable considering my charges. Luke Ciciliano also explained that I will get a detailed bill every month explaining what my money was being used for. Ciciliano and associates was very prompt at transferring my case from the public defenders office . Moreover, Ciciliano kept me informed every step of the way thru my legal proceedings VIA Email which seriously decreased my stress level in my situation.In the end, hiring the Ciciliano law firm was the best thing I could have done for me and my family. In the end, I am not in jail, and I am at home with my daughter which wasn't even an option according to the public defenders office I was working with before hiring Ciciliano. Furthermore, I am finaly able to move on with my life again.Luke Ciciliano did everything he said he would do for my case from start to finish and preformed up and what I thought was possible and expectations. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND CICILIANO AND ASSOCIATES FOR YOUR LEGAL NEEDS!

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."
