Car accident We called James Riotto after we had a car accident. Within one call he summed up how he would handle the situation for us. We paid the fee upfront and he got to work. he told us exactly what information he needed from us and he handled the rest. He keep us informed of every step along the way. We are very happy with the results of the court case and so glad we hired him. The accident was traumatic enough without having to deal with the aftermath and going to court. The fee was more than worth it. Thank you team for handling this situation!
