Hired Attorney James L. Riotto

Within 30 minutes of calling the law office of James Riotto, I was contacted by Lindsey Pieper. After explaining my situation to her, she immediately informed me of what could be done. Knowing my short time frame she quickly put the plans into place. I couldn't be more thankful for what Lindsey was able to do for me. I was blown away by her professionalism and knowledge of the traffic system and would highly recommend the law office of James Riotto for all your legality needs.

I hired Jim to represent me on some 7 year old arrest warrants in Rochester. I have been living in GA for 5 years and my employer found the warrants on a background check. I've dealt with many attorneys in my life and Jim along with his amazing staff were the best I've ever hired. Their communication blew me away. The speed at which they moved was unbelievable. The price was right and the service was excellent. In less than two months walked out of court with everything wrapped up perfectly.

James handled my matters while I was living in another state. Many charges between 3 courts. He reduced all of my traffic tickets to just one zero-point violations and he did this in all of the courts. I now have a license to drive again and he did it very inexpensive. The whole thing took a few months and lindsey kept me informed throughout every step of his efforts. Thank you again jim.

He was very conscientious and diligent throughout the dealings with my daughter's recent case. He remained in close contact almost on a daily basis. He proved success at getting my daughter's charges reduced without any repercussions on her record, for that I am grateful. He is a true inspiration to the profession and legal system. I would recommend him to anyone whom may be in need of legal services. He stands by his word.

James was very good at getting back to my on my case. He did exactly what he said he was going to do..and explained everything to me and put my mind at ease. He was easy to get in touch with..and returned calls and emails. He made a stressful situation , not as bad.

Mr. Riotto did an outstanding job of addressing a traffic incident for me. He handled the case in depth, including obtaining a video tape of the incident. Based on Mr. Riotto's evidence, which I was unable to obtain alone, the judge set the case aside. So, if you are in doubt, trust in Mr. Riotto to set the story straight! And drive cautiously. :-)

My husband received three tickets when pulled over for a non-operating tail light. Included in the tickets was a felony for operating a vehicle with a suspended license. They handcuffed my husband and took him to the precinct. THANK GOD they did not have him remain there until his court date. (Background: My husband and I made payments to reinstate his license before this incident. We assumed things were well after the payments were made and thought we did not owe anything else.turns out we were wrong.)
We were given the “run around” when we called DMV to see how much was owed and how to complete the process and reinstate my husbands license. I began to seek advice on line regarding the felony charge against my husband. I came across the Law Office of Jim Riotto in addition to other law offices. Jim Riotto’s website spoke of his expertise in various areas. He knew about suspensions of license and the process to reinstate an individual’s license. I was excited to read the reviews of others and thought maybe he could help. I connected with his office and spoke with him concerning the matter. He was honest and informed us of the process of how things would proceed. He and his team made necessary calls and informed us of the exact amount we were to pay, the department to make payments to and how to make the payments. After making the payments my husband is now a legal driver in New York State.
Mr. Riotto spoke with the prosecutor and enabled my husband to receive a deal of which the felony charges were dismissed and my husband is to pay a fine.
Mr. Riotto and his office provided us with support and guidance seen as though neither I nor my husband dealt with such matters before.
Both my husband and I are thankful for the service that was provided. We highly recommend Mr. Riotto and his law firm to anyone facing legal issues. His fees are great and he works with you if you are unable to make a one-time payment in full. Mr. Riotto HELPS TO MAKE THE IMPOSSIBLE POSSIBLE.
A special thanks to Mr. Riotto and Ms. Lindsay Pieper. They were patient with me even though I had multiply questions and concerns throughout the process. Thank you also to Mr. Dave Wade for stepping in last minute to attend our last court appointment with us.

Mr. Riotto did an excellent job at representing me for a pistol permit denial. He walked me through the hearings and appeal to have it rightfully overturned and approved. Excellent quality service from Mr. Riotto and his paralegal, Lindsey, for a fair price. I'd highly recommend his services.
