Hands down best in the business, Thank you for helping me with my case

After talking with literally hundreds of lawyers about my case, in my opinion, David was the most professional out of all of them. I did not end up retaining Mr. Pilato because of the distance and travel costs (which for the distance was extremely reasonable) however during our initial consultation he gave me some great advice which helped me get more time to find an attorney. He told me I could call him anytime for advice on my case, I could tell he was a genuine person & actually cared about my situation.

Will hire again and again

Go to the bottom and read the real reviews, not the fake 5 stars. He seems to be a nice person and professional lawyer according to other reviews, and that was why I retained him. BUT, my experience on a traffic ticket was awful. He and his coullgues will take your case (and persuade you to pay) even though they know it's totally a waste of your money. It was NOT HELPFUL AT ALL. There is some information he will never tell you before you pay. Try avoid him if you have a simple traffic matter but just want to try pre-trial conversation with a prosecutor. You can actually do it on your own, or find a lawyer who is less arrogant and more professional. Save the money, and there is no any difference regarding the results. Until today I read other negative reviews and learned he was a police officer. That may help you guess which cases he is good at and what cases he just wants your money and not plans to really help you. That's all I can say. Be smart before you make a decision!!

Hands down the best

As i moved out to the wonderful state of New York, I became REALLY good friends with the New York State Troopers as well as many police departments in the upstate area. :) Unfortunately, our friendship turned sour as I found my multiple court summons in my mailbox. :( I was referred to a law firm in the upstate area, and fortunately turned down all my cases. I then looked no further when i came into contact with the Law Office of James L. Riotto, (well, the wonderful Destinee Kessler) She took my case and ran with it, putting in numerous hours, days, and months to perfect the best possible outcome. I (She) ended my rigorous battle with the wonderful state of New York with some pretty fines and like 1 or 2 points off my license. (originally i was charged with like 3 speeding tickets and a misdemeanor with like 11 points. and now I have a couple parking tickets and like a point) THANK YOU DESTINEE :)

Excellent outcome of a speeding ticket my daughter received, if I could give them 6 stars, I would. Professional, always responded to emails and calls, and to top it off, got a dismissal of the infraction.

Impressive from the initial call to the resolution of our traffic matter. The communication process was exceptional and we couldn't be more appreciative of the outcome.

Jim never disappoints! He and his office have handles several driving infractions for me, and the entire office is attentive, courteous and professional. And, my ticket was thrown out!! Thanks Riotto Law!

Alexis handled my ticket very professionally and ensured I was offered the best arrangement avaliable. Highly recommended!

I was recently stopped for speeding in New York and given a ticket with a significant fine and points on my license attached to it. Thanks to the team at Riotto Law I was able to take a 5 hour defensive driving course and all fines and points were dismissed. I also did not ever need to appear in court. Throughout the process, everyone I worked with was extremely helpful, friendly, and professional. I was always kept in the loop about progress in my case, and any questions I had were promptly answered. I could not recommend them enough!

We acquired the services of Janes Riotto without knowing much about him and his team, then we learned some thing very fast, James Riotto knows the law as do all people that work for him and because they do we had a very favorable outcome of our case. They were all very professional, knew the law and saved us a ton in the way of fines and penalty's. A giant thank you is in order.....
