Very Helpful

Mr Ricca was very helpful with my court visit to 16 cooper street, I was in and out in 30 minutes with just fines as promised with no additional points. Would recommend to friends and family.

Reduced my speeding ticket to a parking ticket.

Michael handled my speeding ticket like a professional. He was excellent on the phone. He explained the entire process to me very thoroughly. He reduced my 79 in a 55 speeding ticket to a parking ticket.

Highly Recommended Criminal Defense Attorney

Mr. Ricca was able to swiftly dismiss criminal charges that were lodged against me without me ever appearing in court. He was knowledgeable, professional, and a fraction of the price of what other lawyers wanted to charge me.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
