Great traffic lawyer - thank you!!

Was facing a pretty brutal traffic ticket in Ithaca City Court, but the Law Office of James Riotto got it reduced down to a simple parking violation with a fine that wasn’t even $100! Everything was handled within about a month. Nurdan and Aiden handled my case, and they were excellent. They clearly ...had a great understanding of the law, what steps to take, and kept great communication every step of the way.

Highly recommend

Working with James Riotto and his team was an outstanding experience from start to finish. I was issued a speeding ticket for driving 30+ mph over while out of state, and they handled the entire matter exceptionally and efficiently . From the very beginning, communication was clear and timely, and I ...felt fully informed throughout the process. Most impressively, Riotto was able to get the ticket completely dismissed without requiring my appearance in court. I’m extremely grateful for the outstanding service and highly recommend him to anyone in need of reliable and results-driven legal representation.
