This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Really good attorney

Jim is a great guy. He represented me on a car crash case. It wasn't a very big crash and another lawyer didn't want to help me. Jim took my case and filed a lawsuit. He was able to get a settlement that I was very happy to get. I don't often post reviews, but I think that when someone does a good jo...b then we should all say something positive. There's too much negative going on all the time! I would go to Jim again if I had a legal matter.

Favorable

Jim handled my personal injury case for me. I feel that he obtained a good settlement for me and had a good handle on things. I've asked around about him and he seems to have a good reputation.

An incredible lawyer and

M. Cicalese has helped me receive justice in my criminal case. Besides his strong work ethics and knowledge of the law, he has also helped me after my trial was over. Even 5 years later, I was able to speak with him on the phone and sent documents for review in order to obtain advice regarding my cas...e. If you are looking for an attorney who will fight for you during your time in court, and help you with any questions you may have in the future, James Cicalese is the best defense attorney you will find. Higly recommended!!!

very, very good lawyer

Hired James after speaking with 3 other lawyers. One lawyer wanted to charge me $12,000 for my second DUI. James charged me a lot less and got the charges dismissed down to a simple reckless driving. he really made me feel better about the whole thing. I never had to go to court. I was so happy tha...t I sent him a gift certificate to LG's when the case was done!

GREAT LAWYER!!

Very good lawyer! I went to one lawyer, paid her over $10,000 and she would never call me back. Then she just wanted to plea me to over 4 years in prison. I dropped her, hired Cicalese and he got the charges dismissed in less than a month. Made me feel like I was in good hands the whole time.
