James Riotto is an exceptionally talented Attorney, and I have the utmost regard for his professional capabilities. In representing me for a rather serious traffic violation, his unparalleled expertise resulted in the complete dismissal of all charges, which far surpassed my expectations. He also did an outstanding job of keeping me well informed, and putting me at ease throughout the entire process. Without hesitation, I give him my highest recommendation.

I contacted James to help with charges that my teenage son was facing. He responded within the hour and immediately made me feel less anxious about the situation. During the whole process he was always accessible to me and made the process easier to deal with. He went above and beyond on several occasions for me and my son. The outcome of the case was excellent and he saved my sons future! I would recommend Mr. Riotto to anyone needing a criminal lawyer.

James Riotto handled my cases perfectly. He was able to assist me with a hefty speeding ticket and was extremely professional and helpful throughout the entire process. He consistently updated me with the status of my proceedings and took care of almost everything himself. His office was reachable 24/7 via phone for any questions or concerns, and his communication via email was always prompt and helpful. I would highly recommend his office for any legal matters. Thanks James!

I found James Riotto via the internet...I had never used a lawyer before so wasn't sure what to expect. I sent an email and received a call back a few hours later...the whole experience was professional and friendly. Anytime I had a question or concern I was contacted back immediately with a response! Great experience and I will absolutely recommend James to all my family and friends if ever in the market for exceptional lawyer service!

I contacted Mr. Riotto regarding a traffic violation that I felt I I inappropriately received while traveling through New York. Mr, Riotto immediately responded to my inquiry for advice and ultimately representation. He made the process so much easier than I could have anticipated. I would highly recommend the services of Mr. Riotto and his associates to anyone. Knowing that your situation is in such capable hands while you are physically so far away truly helps to decrease the stress level.

I was driving through Rochester (60 miles into a 2,000 mile vacation) and got hit by a LASER trap. My fault, wasn't paying attention, guilty... I found Jim via Google and sent an email in the evening. Received a call back almost immediately. I had also contacted four or five others. Jim's call (and background) made me the most comfortable. Jim was honest on the probability of a reduction (low). But he got it. Speeding down to a parking ticket. I couldn't be happier with the service.

I am not a client, but a fellow attorney in the Rochester, NY area. I do not practice criminal law, but when my clients need a criminal defense attorney, I refer them to the only person I trust with my clients: James L. Riotto. James is responsive, hard-working, and dedicated. He can navigate a client through the criminal justice process with the care and sensitivity required in what can be an embarrassing and stressful experience.

I had several speeding tickets that resulted in suspensions. All of my contact with Mr. Riotto was done via email/phone after submitting a request on his web page. This made things so much easier for me as it's very difficult to travel or have meetings due to my work schedule. Mr. Riotto and his entire team are courteous, prompt, and professional. I highly recommend Mr. Riotto.
