Led by Melissa Cipriano, Esq., MBA, Cipriano Law Offices, has been helping families resolve Family Law issues amicably since 2003. The attorneys on staff all have trial experience, and four are court qualified mediators.

Family law is one of the most emotionally and financially complex areas of law. For some, the life that they had planned for themselves is no longer an option. This can seem devastating and overwhelming. For others, the decision to split is made amicably and both spouses seek an efficient, thorough journey through the process. The lawyers and legal team at Cipriano Law Offices understand how personal Family Law problems can be. Their goal is to obtain meaningful results that best serve their client's interests.

Using her strong financial and mediation-based background, Melissa understands business valuations and handles high earner situations. She also serves on the prestigious Matrimonial Early Settlement Panel, is a qualified Family Law Economic Mediator, and a Parenting Coordinator. As a Parenting Coordinator, she helps families learn to communicate so as to preserve relationships between the parties and with children.

According to Melissa, “Resolving issues amicably through mediation helps to reduce legal costs and maintain relationships between spouses. Mediation is a process where people begin to compromise in ways that benefit families and children.”

The firm offers mediation either in-person or over Zoom; for domestic violence and restraining order cases, the office is set up with separate entrances where parties can remain separate from one another. The attorneys at Cipriano Law Offices understand what is at stake in a divorce, their over 90 combined years of experience gives them insight into how the court will view issues and allows them to guide parties to the best possible solutions either through mediation or litigation.
