Finding a firm you can familiarize yourself with is so important
Finding a firm that you can familiarize yourself with is so important. The intimacy with the staff due to longevity and the quality is a key reason on why C&C has the reputation it does. The diversity is also another big key factor from staff knowing English, Spanish, and Italian. You can truly find yourself being respected and communicated to with ease.

Manny's Dedication Truly Stood Out
My parents, who had never been in accidents before, found themselves facing not one but three different legal cases. We were fortunate to have Manny as our lawyer to guide us through this challenging time.
Manny's prompt response and attentiveness to my parents' needs were truly exceptional. He made them feel comfortable and confident, despite their initial apprehensions about the legal process. His clear and effective communication style provided my parents with a clear understanding of their cases every step of the way.
One of the things that truly stood out was Manny's unwavering dedication to our case. He fought tirelessly, especially for my mother, and ensured that her rights and interests were protected. My parents were incredibly impressed by Manny's passion for their cases.
But it's not just Manny; his entire staff is a reflection of his professionalism and dedication. They provided exceptional support and were always there to answer our questions and concerns. My parents truly felt like they were in good hands throughout the process.
What sets Manny apart is his ability to calm the minds of people like my parents who have never been through the legal process before. He is not just an attorney; he's a compassionate guide who knows how to navigate the complexities of the legal system. His assistance with the first case left us with no doubt that we wanted to retain him for the subsequent cases.
Overall, I highly recommend Manny and his team to anyone in need of legal assistance. They went above and beyond to ensure my parents' cases were handled with care, compassion, and expertise. My family is grateful for Manny's support and expertise during this challenging time.

Attorney Paradisi Was Amazing
Attorney Paradisi was amazing. His expertise, compassion, and calm demeanor truly helped me through this stressful situation.

Their Counsel Was Spot On
I engaged the law firm of Cicchiello & Cicchiello to represent me in an Age Discrimination case when I had been wrongly terminated. Of all the accolades that I could heap upon them, the most important is that their counsel was spot on. They understand employment law and have the experience and resources to bring your case to a successful settlement.

Matt Was Fantastic to Work With
I hired C&C to represent me as a Plaintiff in a defamation case and was assigned Attorney Matt Paradisi. As with any litigation, it was a long, somewhat arduous process, but Matt was fantastic to work with! Some words to describe him: patient, communicative, knowledgeable, and tenacious. We settled the case in my favor and won approximately 2x my legal fees. I couldn't have been happier with my experience with Matt and the outcome, and I highly recommend Matt to anyone in need of excellent counsel.

What They Did for My Case Blew Me Away
When I had my appointment with this firm, I was having a bad day. I knew I was not being very friendly when I arrived. They took it in stride and actually had me laughing by the time I left. That was just our introduction, and what they did for my case blew me away. This is my go-to firm if, God forbid, I have another accident. You guys are all awesome, thank you!!
Darnell Wilson
Amazing!!! This Team Is So Professional
Amazing!!! This team is so professional, and I even learned some things about injury law through how much explanation they gave me with all the steps of my case. Definitely call them if you get into an accident. There's a lot of firms in Hartford, but this one was much more personal. They have also been part of the community for over 20 years, and that says a lot. When you don't know, go with Cicchiello!! 🥰
Shawn Ricardo

Mason Flores
They cared about me, not just the lawsuit
When I got into an accident, I had no idea what to do. I had never been through a lawsuit process before. I met with Joanna, a paralegal, and she was so helpful. She was very informative, and I was actually able to understand everything going on. The owner, Manny, was very kind, and I could tell they cared about me and not just the lawsuit.
Jamie Cirone
They Are by Far the Best
I've been to other firms before, and they are by far the best. Manny is the owner, and you can tell he cares. Joanna worked on my case, and she went above and beyond for me.

When do I need an employment lawyer?
You may need an employment lawyer when facing workplace issues that require legal interpretation or action, such as wrongful termination, discrimination, harassment, wage disputes, or contract issues. A lawyer can provide expert guidance on your rights, assist in negotiations, or represent you in legal proceedings if necessary.
How can I protect my rights as an employee?
To protect your rights, stay informed about employment laws and your company’s policies. Keep records of work hours, communications, and incidents. Report issues like discrimination or harassment promptly. If problems persist, consult an employment lawyer to explore your options for resolution and legal action.
What is wrongful termination?
Wrongful termination occurs when an employee is dismissed in violation of employment laws or contract terms. This may include termination due to discrimination, retaliation, or breach of contract. If you suspect wrongful termination, document all relevant interactions and consult an employment lawyer to discuss your case and next steps.
