The Very Best

Linda Mariani, of Mariani ,Reck, Lane, has represented myself and many members of my family for more than twenty years. There have been countless family and personal matters requiring the knowledge,expertise, finesse, professionalism, wisdom and kindness of a truly trusted Attorney. Myself and my fam...ily will always rely on The Law Firm of Mariani,Reck,and Lane for legal help during all the good and bad events going forward. We would truly be at a loss without the entire firm. There are not enough positive accolades to describe our trust and appreciation and gratitude for Ms. Mariani and her team.

Happy Client

It was handled with utmost competence,courtesy, and speed, with excellent results. We are very satisfied with the staff and attorneys who were thorough and precise. Additionally, w...e felt that the fees were very reasonable. I highly recommend Attorney Mariani and the Law Firm and would never go anywhere else for legal services. I would award them the highest rating.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
