About Max
Max Ciolino built a steady academic foundation before entering practice. He earned a Bachelor of Arts in sociology and political science from Centenary College of Louisiana in 2011. He continued his studies at the University of Pennsylvania, completing a Master of Arts in education policy in 2012.

Ciolino moved into practice in the years after law school. Records show he began working at Ciolino & Onstott in 2015. He has practiced in Louisiana and holds membership in professional associations. His early career reflects the familiar arc of a lawyer who combined an academic interest in policy with a legal education and then entered private practice.
The mix of social science, education policy and law suggests a background informed by both public issues and individual client needs. His academic training in sociology and political science likely shaped how he approaches fact patterns and client problems. The master's in education policy hints at familiarity with regulatory frameworks and institutional decision-making, while his Tulane law degree provided the legal tools to act on that knowledge.
At Ciolino & Onstott, he has worked as a lawyer since 2015. That tenure indicates continuity at a single firm during his formative professional years. He maintains ties to professional groups and to the Louisiana legal community. Those connections help keep him engaged with ongoing developments in the state's law and practice.
People who meet him often find a practitioner who balances careful analysis with practical concerns. He has experience guiding clients through legal processes and working within a firm setting to prepare cases, advise on disputes, and manage filings. His educational background gives him an added perspective when cases touch on institutional or policy-driven issues.
Outside the office, his record shows an interest in the intersections of law, education policy and social issues. That combination has informed the way he frames problems and develops legal strategies. He remains based in Louisiana and continues to be involved in professional circles there.
His current practice focuses on serving clients in Louisiana through his role at Ciolino & Onstott.
