Highly Recommended – Knowledgeable, Trustworthy, and Truly Cares

I reached out to several attorneys on AVVO for a consultation regarding a medical malpractice issue. Out of everyone I contacted, Mr. Ciccarelli was the only one who took the time to respond promptly, follow up with me, and provide a thorough, detailed consultation. Mr. Ciccarelli stood out as someo...ne who not only knows the law inside and out but also genuinely cares about his clients. His expertise in medical malpractice is clear—he answered all my questions with clarity, patience, and professionalism. He took the time to understand my issue, explain my options, and offer sound advice without rushing or pressuring me in any way. Mr. Ciccarelli is reliable, responsive, and trustworthy—qualities that are rare to find all in one attorney. If you're looking for someone who is both a top-notch legal expert and a compassionate advocate, Mr. Ciccarelli is the lawyer to call.

Very Satisfied

I had a consult with Mr. Ciccarelli and it could not have been better. His ability to explain, in detail, is outstanding. He was very inquisitive and truly cared about my needs as well as explaining law and scenarios. We spoke for over 45 minutes by phone. Many lawyers were sent the same message from... me about my families issue and Mr. Ciccarelli responded immediately. Thank you sir!

A very knowledgable and professional atttorney

Our son developed cerebral palsy due to negligent injuries sustained at birth. John was there through all of the seven years it took to get our son a fair settlement for future medical care. There were times when I felt he could have gotten back to us more quickly, but in hindsight a good deal of i...t was probably more due to our own level of emotion (as anyone can imagine). I highly recommend him for his ethics, sense of justice and incredible depth of law. Aside from legal knowledge, his overall self-assured demeanor and willingness to fight for our son meant alot - especially during the depositions! I can honestly say John is one of the most intelligent and family-oriented individuals I have ever known.
