On behalf of my son and my family, I would like to express my sincerest gratitude for the professionalism, decency, understanding, thoroughness and utmost peace you afforded us during my son’s recent brush with the law, and his requirement that he appear in court to answer to inarguable charges of various traffic infractions, at least one of them serious.

After receiving a traffic citation that I thought there would be no resolution I was unsure what to do. Pay the fine and take the hit? Someone suggested I contact a lawyer. I was fortunate to find James Riotto. After my first conversation with him it was clear I was in capable hands. He was very professional and communication was excellent. Never once did I have to worry about my case. He exceeded my expectations in all aspects. I would highly recommend him for anyone in need of his service.

Mr. Riotto was recommended by a very reliable source in the community as a criminal defense Lawyer who is unrivaled for his professionalism and competency. I was impressed with his staff from the first conversation until the last. What I found striking is their ability to communicate the expected outcome without misleading me with unrealistic expectations. I found their rates to be unexpectedly fair for the amount of work they poured into my case.

I live in Virginia and my daughter goes to college in Rochester. She was involved in a traffic accident and received a citation. I felt she needed legal representation, so I was fortunate to find Mr. Riotto through a Google search. Mr. Riotto could not have been any more responsive and my daughter's citation was resolved very favorably. If you need legal representation in the Rochester area, I highly recommend Mr. Riotto.

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.

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 for. I did a little bit more searching, but it was clear that Mr. Riotto was the best attorney in the area. Mr. Riotto could not have done a better job. I am highly pleased with his level of skill, and I will not hesitate to contact him again.

Mr Riotto did a perfect job in appealing my speeding ticket. Before I contacted his office, I thought there would be hundreds of fine and 4 points loss in my driving record,incurring a huge increase in car insurance. But he successfully reduced the ticket to a non-moving violation and to my big surprise, there's no point loss at all and the fine was reduced to almost nothing. During the whole process, I always got the latest, even at weekend. So I highly recommend him to those in need : )

After doing something foolish on a Friday night, I called around on Saturday, expecting to get some answering machines or services. I got a person at Mr. Riotto's office and he called me within the next 20 minutes. He eased my fears about what happened, was honest about my options and the possible consequences, prepared my case well, and made sure I knew what was going on. I'm grateful for his personable and professional demeanor.
