Brunswick County (Lawrenceville VA) Client Reviews

We recently had to engage Riley and Wells regarding a traffic citation (81 in a 70 MPH along the I-85 corridor) our daughter received while driving back to her college in VA. After seeing the reviews that were posted, and speaking with the staff at Riley & Wells I believe we made an excellent choice. I appreciate their professionalism and diligent work in getting our her citation reduced to defective equipment. They did a fabulous job in preventing her from having points placed on her license (which would have meant a BIG increase in her premiums). I heartily recommend them to anyone in similar circumstances.

Brunswick VA Reckless Driving Speeding 98 mph REDUCED

riley & wells attorneys successfully convinced the Brunswick judge to reduce a high speed reckless driving case

Brunswick County Reckless Driving 98 mph REDUCED

High-Speed cases in Virginia are taken very seriously by every Virginia Judge. In some states, excess speed allegations are merely minor infractions payable by a fine only unless there is some actual evidence of endangerment. However, in Virginia, the state law classifies speed in excess of 85 miles per hour as a misdemeanor reckless driving offense, which carries a jail penalty even if no evidence of endangerment exists. Such cases are always extremely difficult to resolve in such a way that protects the liberty of the client, not to mention protecting the record from a misdemeanor conviction. In this case, our Brunswick County reckless driving attorneys represented a client who was alleged to have been reckless driving speeding 98 mph on Interstate 85 by a Virginia State Trooper. The client feared both being incarcerated and being convicted of a misdemeanor offense for speeding that endangered nobody. Either scenario would have severely damaged a promising career path. We prepared our client’s case and were prepared for the trial date. We presented our client’s case to the Court and persuaded the Judge and the prosecution to reduce our client’s case out of the misdemeanor reckless driving category down to the lesser offense of improper driving, a mere traffic infraction punishable by a fine only. Our client avoided a potential career-ending misdemeanor conviction and protected his freedom. In some instances involving out-of-state motorists, a Virginia improper driving disposition will also better protect the out-of-state driving record from moving violation points because improper driving is a law that is unique to Virginia.
