Practice Areas

Litigation 50%

Business litigation has involved contract disputes to Unfair Competition cases under B&P code section 17200. In the area of tort law, I established that the Public Defender does not have immunity from liability when negligently representing an indigent defendant. This was established in the Supreme Court case of Barner v. Leeds (2000) 24 Cal.4th 676. Additionally, in a wrongful death case I received a verdict of 2.1 million dollars, and settled the other parts of the case for 3.0 million.

Took great care of my family

Drew Cicconi put together the Living Trust and Wills for my husband and myself. He explained everything so clearly and thoroughly I had no worries about this process. He delivered the document quickly and was so warm and compassionate that the experience was actually enjoyable.

Paid to complete a case and never completed it

Sad to say I trusted this attorney and paid him in full as he led me to believe he had filled all the necessary documents to the courts that pertained to a case. It has been years and the case is still open and he is now on suspension so who knows if he will ever finish it. I don't normally write ne...gative reviews as I try to work out solutions to problem I may have with any service. I have tried leaving phone messages and e-mail messages , but I am unable to get through to Drew Cicconi.

DO NOT HIRE THIS ATTORNEY

HIRING THIS ATTORNEY IS THE WORST CHOICE YOU COULD MAKE! He will blame every other entity involved in your lawsuit for his losing your case and never accept the responsibility that he and he alone missed court date appearances, missed filing date cut-...offs etc... You will be issued “sanctions: and you will not know about it! And... Your case will be dismissed way before you even know about it. Also ... Drew Cicconi, Esq. will NEVER keep you informed about ANY of these terrible events until your case has completely been destroyed. He’s trying to save himself.. DO NOT HIRE THIS ATTORNEY!!!

Outstanding Attorney!

He represented me on several litigation matters in the past, which he handled professionally, and with good results. I have recently consulted with him again on another matter that I need his attention to the law and the details of my case.
