  • Joe Cipparone is an exceptionally caring and competent attorney. He has guided my personal and legal matters since 2005. Joe helped me with the settlement of my husband's estate and the creation of an estate plan for myself and my family's future. In addition, I have trusted Joe to manage my financial affairs including investments and my children's college planning. He has also advocated with state agencies on legal matters concerning my developmentally disabled son and created a trust for his future. I know Joe truly cares about me and my family. He has my utmost respect and confidence.

  • Please accept my heartfelt gratitude for your indispensable legal advice and work over the past year. It has given me tremendous peace of mind to know that my estate plan is now in place. Your meticulous work on all my requests and beyond, from creating documents that included my Power of Attorney, my Trust, and my Will, to advising on qualifications for in-home health care can simply not be adequately recognized. I wanted to let you know that I would attribute your accomplishments to not only the breadth of your legal knowledge, but also the very detail and patience you gave at every step and phase of the yearlong work. Thank you very much once again, Jack!

  • Jack Reardon, of Cipparone & Zaccaro, prepared all documents necessary for my approaching elder years. His professional manner and handling of my wishes were very evident in writing my will. His advice for other documentation including a Health Directive and Power of Attorney were most appreciated. All these documents were presented to me promptly and accurately. I felt comfortable and confident that my goals were met and I would recommend Jack Reardon to my friends wholeheartedly.
