Cifrodello Law Offices

Attorney Cifrodello, Thank you for the outcome on my Son’s case. Dwight, was very please with the dismissal on his DUI. Couldn’t have a better lawyer. Thank again

guess my experience was not like some others here, and I can only go by the way it went for me - not too great! the para in the office , Tony, was super personable, and so I signed on to use this attorney. On my next call about a question, unfortunately I got Mr. Cifradello himself, and he started yelling at me and said he was "an attorney" and had no time for me. I actually called to speak with Tony, but was shocked at his manner, and afraid he might be equally rude or unhinged in court. Tony apologized for him, saying he had been "on edge" lately, and tense, not sure why, but assured me court would go well. Waiting in Zoom on court day, I did not hear a word from Mr. Cifradello before he went to the prosecutor; he never asked about the circumstances of how the tickets I had were given to me, what happened, etc. For $250 he simply spoke to the prosecutor knowing not a thing about the date in question, and THEN told me the outcome. When I asked him why he had not conferred with me first, he just kept telling me what a tremendous job he had done, and how much he saved me. I honestly believe I could have done as well or better alone if I had explained the circumstances to the prosecutor accurately myself. Only then did I get a chance to explain what happened to Cifradello, and THEN, AFTER the judge had already sentenced and fined me, THEN Cifradello told the judge what I had just told him. But of course it was irrelevant by then. In fact, the judge said to Cifradello "I am sure you discussed this already with the prosecutor." Of course HE HAD NOT - because he didn't know it HIMSELF until after he did the plea bargaining. I can't judge the ultimate outcome (the fine was about $100 MORE than Tony said it would be initially), but I am darned sure that when you hire an attorney for five or ten minutes of work for $250, you deserve at least several minutes to speak with them BEFORE they "defend" you. What a poor choice. I could never recommend this firm. And when I called Tony to tell him of my disappointment, he said "You know you were awesome the first time we spoke, but since then you are really SOUR" - in other words, if I didn't appreciate the inadequate service, something is wrong with ME. That sealed it for me. Not at all a good place to do business. SHAMING a dissatisfied client. Wow. The icing on a rotten cake.

Was helped by him, and he resolved everything just as advised. Thanks again and I will definitely recommend you to my family and friends about your work.
