Would hire again!
We have had the pleasure of working with Joe Riccio and his staff recently for our son's divorce. He was 21 when he got married, and was married in CA, where his ex still resides.

Personal Injury Review
When I was injured in a car accident, I was lost and unsure of what to do. The only thing I knew, was I was injured and I needed someone the insurance company would take seriously when handling my case. Marathon Law Group was a beacon of hope. Joe guided me through the entire process, from the in...

Best Personal Injury Attorney- Second Car Accident
I cannot express enough gratitude towards Joe Riccio and Marathon Law Group for their exceptional representation. After being involved in a second car accident, my insurance company initially refused to provide any compensation by trying to connect my injuries to my previous accident. Joe and his tea...

"I endorse this lawyer. He knows all aspects of divorce, custody, and domestic relations litigation. He is both an aggressive advocate and a compassionate advisor. Most importantly, he formulates creative solutions to assist clients in settlement. It's one thing to win at trial after ten of thousands spent in attorney's fees and costs out the door. It's quite another matter entirely to get a client what they want without the hassle, expense, or stress of trial. Joe is as adept at the latter as he is at the former."

"Joe is very knowledgeable and creative attorney. His expertise and creativity help his clients achieve the results they desire."
"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Riccio and I had a very involved case during which he displayed professional courtesy and respect towards me at all times. While advocating for his client in the courtroom, Mr. Riccio was very reasonable and realistic during settlement negotiations, which is a quality that not all Family Law Attorneys have."
"Joseph is a very thorough, knowledgable, and competent attorney. As the attorney on the other side of the case he is one that doesn't waste his Client's time with unrealistic expectations yet he pursues his cases with a zealous advocacy. Well versed in all aspects of the law, and his Client's facts as applied to the law, he is professional, courteous, has high ethics, and is a pleasure to oppose. Joseph is definitely a credit to the family law bar and to those that work with him in the field."
"I endorse this lawyer without hesitation. Book smarts. Street smarts. Dedication. Zeal. Integrity. Joe is the complete package. A client who is represented by Joe is lucky to have him."
