Highly recommended for traffic cases

Thanks for getting my two tickets reduced to a single parking ticket with no points! What sold me was that you did not do any hard sales, answered all the questions I had, and also warned me of potential negative consequences when fighting the tickets. The process of supplying you the necessary infor...mation was quick and simple. The communication was superb and someone at your office always responded to my questions within several hours or less. Overall, I had a great experience hiring my first traffic lawyer.

The Best!

James is the best! I had some tickets from when I was a teenager and 20years later needed help taking care of them. Not only did he take care of them but exceeded my expectations. I had no additional points given to me and the fines were not too bad. I will recommend James to everyone I know. thank y...ou so much!

Very satisfied and highly recommended

I was traveling from my home in Michigan through Rochester to Boston. I got a ticket for speeding near Rochester which I thought was undeserved. I called the Law Offices of James Riotto and was walked through the process or handling the ticket and what to expect. Mr. Riotto called me with the results... and I was very happy. He and his staff were always friendly, informative, and very responsive. I made the right choice and wouldn't hesitate to use him again.

Best In The Business

When I got an inane ticket for not using my turn signal, Mr. Riotto was the first attorney to show up in an online search of available attorneys in Monroe County, and there's no surprise why. From what I saw, Mr. Riotto was highly qualified and more than capable to handle anything I might need him fo...r. I did a little bit more searching, but it was clear that Mr. Riotto was the best attorney in the area. When the smoke cleared and everything was said and done, Mr. Riotto could not have done a better job. Instead of getting points added onto my license that would drive up my insurance for the next decade, Mr. Riotto got the ticket reduced to a simple, incredibly affordable fine. I am highly pleased with his level of skill and professionalism, and I know in the future that if I ever need an attorney again, I will not hesitate to call Mr. Riotto. When you need an attorney, I hope you call on him too.
