Solid but communication could improve

I worked with Ms. Mariani on a complex family law arbitration case, and while her expertise in collaborative law was evident, I felt the communication could have been more consistent. Appointments were often delayed, and responses to emails were sometimes slow. Her legal strategy was sound, and she clearly knows the nuances of Connecticut family law, but the case dragged on longer than expected. The outcome was fair, but the process could have been smoother.

Skilled and compassionate family law attorney

Linda L. Mariani's extensive experience and deep knowledge of family law made her an invaluable asset during my complex divorce proceedings. Her 48 years in practice, combined with her recognition as a Best Lawyer in Connecticut and a Super Lawyer, gave me confidence that I was in capable hands. She skillfully navigated the intricacies of property division and child custody arrangements, always prioritizing my family's best interests. Her collaborative approach, honed through years of family law arbitration, allowed us to reach a fair settlement without unnecessary conflict. While her legal fees were reasonable, I would have appreciated slightly quicker responses to urgent emails at times. Overall, Linda's expertise and compassionate guidance were instrumental in helping my family move forward. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a seasoned family law attorney in New London.

Experienced but communication could improve

Linda L. Mariani is clearly well-respected in family law and arbitration, with decades of experience and multiple recognitions. Her expertise was evident in handling my complex custody case, but I felt the communication could have been more consistent. While her legal knowledge was impressive, follow-up calls took longer than I expected, and updates were sometimes delayed. She handled the case competently, but I hoped for a more attentive approach. Overall, a solid attorney with strong credentials, but client communication could be refined.
