Mark Pancrazio joins Cipparone & Zaccaro, P.C. and Opens office in Woodbury https://t.co/Ry7xtARG8o - 5 years 4 months ago I first met Attorney Cipparone when he handled my parents' wills and trusts. They were impressed with Joe's expertise in estate planning but also liked his sense of humor and caring attitude. He was always willing to set up appointments at my parents' home so that we could gather as a family in familiar surroundings to make important decisions together. Because of the way Joe treated my parents, I became a client in 2007. Joe has always offered advice that best suits my family and me. He is able to explain complicated legal principles in layman's terms. I am confident that Joe offers the best counsel to meet my needs. I would highly recommend Joe and his colleagues at Cipparone & Zaccaro to family and friends who need estate planning or elder law advice.

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.
