  • 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.

  • Though I was aware of their admirable reputation for many years, it was in 2009 that John Zaccaro helped me with a property dispute.  We found their approach to everything was in truly caring for their clients and treating them with respect and empathy.  We received easily understandable explanations of complex legal issues and felt confident of their experience, knowledge, research and attention to detail.  At the troubling beginning of the legal dispute, John was always accessible and accommodating.  We found his demeanor comforting yet cautious while instilling an assurance that we would prevail.  Our worries became enthusiasm as the matter developed and we were able to trust that we had the best lawyer in whom to place our confidence – and the end result proved it.

  • We knew from the initial consultation that our estate was to be treated as if it were Donald Trump’s. Joe was mindful of our specific wishes while offering proposals to improve and strengthen the plans. It was like seeking advice from a favorite uncle, as you knew your best interests were paramount. Joe was thorough in every aspect, considerately addressing our concerns and questions. We were most pleased to see our ideas and Joe’s expertise become solid legal planning. We regard Cipparone & Zaccaro, P.C., as “our” law firm and will absolutely return there for professional yet friendly managing of their areas of law.

  • I have practiced law in the military, in corporations and in private practice for the last forty-five years. It would be fair to say that I know legal talent when I see it. The first matter Joe Cipparone handled for me was the purchase of my current residence in 1991. Since that time, he has handled all estate planning matters for me and my wife as our families and financial positions changed over a period of more than twenty years. We have been pleased with Joe’s turn around time in each case, the accuracy and adequacy of all documents and his patience in answering questions.

  • Joseph Cipparone is the attorney for our LLC.  As such, the service he has provided has been first rate.  He's a good listener, which means that before he makes recommendations, he has gained a solid understanding of our goals and needs.  The recommendations he gave us have stood the test of time (nearly seven years), and we are grateful for his work.  The only difficulty in this recommendation is limiting our choice of the above attributes to three; he has excelled in all.
