“It’s another interesting story of faith and destiny,” says Ciano. “I was a junior in college and my future wife was attending Denison University; we did not know each other at the time. We met at Syracuse University’s London school on a study-abroad. Both of us came very close to not making that trip.
“It was the winter of 1989 and right on the heels of the disastrous bombing of Pam Am  ight 103, known as the Lockerbie bombing, had just occurred. On that plane were more than 30 Syracuse University London program students that perished, and we were the next Syracuse London class going over. Not sur- prisingly, half of the program cancelled. It was a very disruptive time. Ultimately, Amy and I separately decided to proceed with the trip and ended up meeting, falling in love and sus-
tained that relationship throughout the fol- lowing summer and our senior years.  en, a er my  rst semester of law school, we were married and just recently celebrated our 26 year anniversary.”
EYE ON THE BALL
As unlikely as it might seem for a Cleve- land-based law  rm - - especially a mid-size boutique - - a signi cant portion of Ciano’s practice includes representing high-pro le executives, companies and sports agents with o ces from Los Angeles to New York - - and everywhere in between. Because of the rela- tionships Ciano has cultivated over the years, these business leaders, physicians executives and agents trust him when navigating their most crucial legal matters.
“It was very awkward and interesting, stressful yet invigorating. To have your  rst signi cant jury trial be up against a large,
is certainly challenging.”
