Fantastic Laywer With Excellent Results Multiple Times

Mr. Riccio has worked on a couple cases of family members and friends of mine for over 15 years. He has had excellent outcomes from each and every case. He is extremely knowledgable and effective in his research and his ability to handle diverse situations. For my cases I can say that he has handle t...he unthinkable with working with apposing Counsel and apposing party to get me the best outcomes possible. His staff is also very effective and diligent on their work, understanding the situation, and putting all to paper. They are very reliable and pleasant to work with. I have followed him since using him day one when I needed a family lawyer and then a personal injury lawyer, to his well expanded new office and can say I will always use Mr. Riccio. By far the best in town!

You couldn't ask for a better attorney!

Joe Riccio is truly the best attorney. He is highly intelligent, knows your case inside and out, will fight for you in court, and cares about you like a family member. I am beyond grateful for Mr. Riccio, and his highly qualified staff. I appreciate his no fluff approach to telling it like it is eve...ry step of the way. He doesn’t sugarcoat anything, and he looks out for you, your children, and your financial situation. He is a lawyer who will not take advantage of you. He is a genuine, caring person of integrity. Most importantly, he is a winner, and will fight his hardest for you in court!

The best lawyer in town!

I just had to come on here and leave a review after my wonderful experience with Marathon Law Group. Joe Riccio (my attorney) and Patricia Maynor (paralegal) completely exceeded my expectations. They are worth every penny. The saying you get what you pay for goes beyond in this situation. They are ar...e not only the best at what they do but they are companionate and really get to know you and your case. I went in for the termination of parental rights followed by an adoption and the process was the most non stressful having these 2 by my side. I was so nervous about this process but Joe and Patricia took care of EVERYTHING. They never sugar coated anything and told me exactly what to expect both worst case and best case scenarios and assured me that even worst case scenario would turn out fine with them in my corner. They are both professional and caring and I couldn't have asked for a better team to represent me in one of the most important things in my life. Not only did I get the parental rights terminated, we also were able to have my husband adopt my son. All of which was done in a timely manner. If you are looking for the best attorney in town Joe Riccio is your guy.

Marathon Law Group is a stellar team!

Joe Riccio and his staff have been amazing. They helped me to have a voice in my personal injury case and fought for me to get the treatment I needed to recover. They have also helped me in a family law case. Joe personally ensured my safety during a court visit and refused to allow my abusive ex-...husband to have access to me during the court time. For the first time in a very long time I felt safe and heard. Patricia, one of the paralegals, has helped me cope with the stress of my case and I can't thank her enough for her understanding and support. If you need help with family law or personal injury this group will have your back and fight for you!

Bringing my son home

Joseph W. Riccio did in 6 months what many other lawyers couldn’t do over 10 years . He saved my son’s life. He used the law and found creative ways to bring my son back home. My son before coming home, was on a very bad path and sorrouned negative people and things that a child should not be subject...ed too. Being a father, I new the odds were stacked against me, but with Joe’s help and guidance, we were able to save my son from what was for sure to be a dead end path of life. He gave my son opportunity to shine and shine he has with a 4.2 GPA and heading towards the Air Force. He is so exited about life now, a complete 180 and we owe it all to you Joe Riccio. Thank you, his Dad.

Relationship: Co-worker

"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."
