Stephen Ciocca

I have seen firsthand the suffering and hardship people endure when they are injured due to the negligence of others. The impact an injury has on a person and their family goes beyond the physical pain. It has devastating consequences in almost every aspect of their life, the lives of their family, and in the community.


I joined Cellino Law in 2002, formerly Cellino & Barnes, because the attorneys and staff are committed to helping injured people in their time of need. It is a philosophy and way of thinking I adhere to.

I had a very good experience with Cellino Law. I broke both my legs in a car accident and my attorney Stephen Ciocca came to my home because at the time I was chair bound. He was very professional and empathetic. He kept in touch and explained everything in detail what was going on with my case. He won the case for me, and did an amazing job. I would definitely recommend Cellino Law. Everyone I spoke with in the office was very knowledgeable and friendly.

Dear Steve Ciocca,

I’m writing to thank you and your entire law firm for all of your hard work throughout my case. When I was first injured, I wasn’t sure where to turn. I was referred to you and couldn’t have been more happier.

Throughout the time we worked together, you were kind, patient, and supportive.

I cannot thank you enough for the amazing treatment you gave me.

If anyone is looking for an amazing injury attorney I will be the first to refer you.

With gratitude, Holli Vanburen

I had the pleasure of working with Steve Ciocca and his Assistant Diane Hirsch and they were amazing from start to finish! If you need any assistance that is under his scope of practice as an attorney absolutely call him. I felt he was completely trustworthy throughout the entire process and when I wasn’t sure of what decision to make I asked him what would he do and followed his recommendations from A-Z. If I had to do it all over again I would absolutely call him again. The rest of the staff when you come into the office is very pleasant as well.

At a time in our life when we were involved in a fatal automobile accident we had to consult a law firm to represent us. We decided to call a reputable law firm known throughout the community for getting positive results. We called the Cellino Law firm. We had a consultation with Steve Ciocca where we explained our experience of the pain, suffering and grief the accident produced. Steve was very patient, pleasant, compassionate, respectful, caring, professional and understood every word we said and our feelings we expressed. Steve put himself in our shoes. He gathered all the information from all the parties involved and reached out to us each step of the way. Steve Ciocca was a comfort to us at a time in our life when we needed it the most as well as a professional top notch attorney. Steve miraculously obtained the maximum settlement possible under law In a very short period of time. We will be forever grateful to Steve for his understanding of our situation and his astute understanding of the law. Steve Ciocca proved to be an asset to us, his client, as well to the Cellino Law firm. I highly recommend Steve Coicca and the Cellino Law
firm for the Dedication, Compassion and results.

Thank you forever,
Brian, Karen And Joshua
