Review of services

There is a reason James Riotto has four and half stars and 226, now 227, excellent reviews. He and his staff do excellent work and keep you informed of their progress as it happens.

Dismissed

Very knowledgeable and professional team of Lawyers. From the outset Emma Outlined the procedure and likely outcome of the case. And the follow up process was seamless, and it took them four weeks to have the case dismissed. I would highly recommend this team of Lawyers

Charge dismissed!

My Charge was Dismissed due to the knowledge, expertise and professionalism by Mr.James Riotto and his team. From October 2020 the odds were not in my favor due to the courts. Mr. Riotto’s ability to break down what was occurring and how strong of a defense we had encouraged me to keep fighting. With... the confidence of the team I agreed to an appeal which resulted in my charge being dismissed. I’m extremely thankful for the work they put in and the excellent communication. Over the past 23 months.

Highly recommend

I contacted Mr. Riotto to represent my son in a criminal defense case vs NYS. Not only did he get the state charges dropped, but he also followed up and represented my son in a federal case. I could not be more pleased with the outcome-- what could have been a 15 year sentence became less than 3!!!! ...James and his staff kept me updated every step of the way. Emails were read and answered immediately. He spoke to my son when requested and if he couldn't reach him by phone, he reached out to me to relay messages. For what I paid, I got WAY more and would HIGHLY RECOMMEND James and his team.
