VanDette Law PLLC | Richard J. Morrisroe, Criminal & Traffic Defense in Buffalo, NY (h1)
VanDette Law PLLC is a multi-practice firm with offices at 403 Main Street, Suite 600, Buffalo, New York 14203, and 314 Central Avenue, Suite 200, Dunkirk, New York 14048, reachable at (716) 806-3500. Attorney Richard J. Morrisroe practices criminal and traffic defense at the firm alongside colleagues James M. VanDette, Patrick A. Makin, and Christina Tretter-Herriger, giving clients in both Erie and Chautauqua Counties access to a team that also covers personal injury, family law, and real estate matters.
Morrisroe’s criminal defense work covers DUI charges, misdemeanors, felonies, and traffic violations, and he is known for handling matters personally rather than passing clients off to junior staff. He brings over 14 years of legal experience to the practice, including prior service as City Attorney for Dunkirk and general counsel to the Dunkirk Housing Authority, background that gives him direct familiarity with local government and court procedure in the Dunkirk-Fredonia area. He is bilingual in English and Spanish, which he uses to serve the region’s Hispanic community directly.
Morrisroe earned his J.D. cum laude from the University at Buffalo School of Law and his B.A. cum laude from Amherst College. He is a member of the Northern Chautauqua County Bar Association, a graduate of the Leadership Buffalo Rising Leaders Program, and was named a 2023 Friend of the Hispanic Heritage Council of Western New York, recognition that reflects his standing in the Dunkirk community beyond the courtroom.
