Jessica Friedman, Family Attorney on Aug 17, 2017
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
I had the pleasure of working with Mr. Riccio in a divorce matter. Mr. Riccio is extremely knowledgable in family law and is a zealous advocate in the courtroom. I would highly recommend his services to anyone going through a divorce.
Marshal Willick, Family Attorney on Feb 18, 2017
Relationship: Supervised lawyer
Joe worked in this office some years ago, and I was impressed by his ability to quickly size up a situation and move to address it; he was a pleasure to work with. I've not had the opportunity to litigate a case with him as opposing counsel since then, but have heard good things about his work.
David Jacks, Family Attorney on Feb 17, 2017
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

Joe is a passionate litigator and will fight for his clients to the end. He has strong negotiation skills that allow him to get what his clients deserve.
Jamie Hendrickson, Family Attorney on Jun 29, 2016
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.
John O'Brien, Criminal defense Attorney on Jun 4, 2014

An extremely talented and well respected attorney in the legal community, I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a lawyer who knows the law and truly cares about protecting the rights of his clients and getting them the most favorable result possible.

Joe is the real deal. He has the ability to communicate with his clients and build trust in a way that most lawyers can't comprehend.
Tracy Rau, Family Attorney on Jun 5, 2013
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
Joe is an aggressive advocate and works hard to advance the positions of his clients. He is also courteous, knowledgeable and professional.
Mario Fenu, Family Attorney on May 6, 2013

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

Audrey Beeson, Family Attorney on Apr 15, 2013
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
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.
Renee Mancino, Family Attorney on Mar 21, 2013
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
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.
James Claflin, Family Attorney on Mar 6, 2013
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
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.
