I was not an easy client to fight for and it took me some time to get my life together. But Mr Riley never gave up on me and was in my corner the whole time. He is the best lawyer I have ever dealt with and I highly recommend him. Even his staff and assistant are very helpful and sympathetic. They make your experience easy and they give nothing short of 100% in everything they do.

I couldn't recommend Riley & Wells more. They were incredibly responsive, professional and answered all of my questions. They made the process very easy, especially from being out of state. With Covid-19, the Courts were closed and my case was continually rescheduled. They were extremely communicative, answered all my questions, and were able to resolve my case extremely well (with just some manageable fines and online steps). Thank you!

I'd like to take this opportunity to Thank RILEY & WELLS Attorneys AT LAW, especially to Atty. Ed Riley who represented my 2 case charges last March 4th. I was not present during the court date, but Atty. Riley represented me and I trusted him and I was very satisfied with the results. With both same date of offense, 1)The defective equipment charge - upon payment of Court cost $15. will be dismissed and 2) The reckless speeding 58/35 mph zone charge - if successfully completed a Driving School Course and return the Completion Card to the Court with the cost $91. then the speeding charge will be dismissed. I had already complied the payment of $15. and I also completed the Driving school course and and got a certificate and I will go to the Court this week to give/return the Certificate completion card. Again, many thanks to you Atty. Riley and Lisa and Heather for your support into my case......All the best.Respectfully; LB

5 stars aren't enough. I was visited VA in October 2019 and traveling 70 in a 55 on 95 South. I changed lanes in front of a trooper (probably the only reason he saw ME). Got a ticket... found Riley & Wells online and gave them a shot. I'm from Florida and their reviews are what won me.. and I see why. $350.00 retainer and the Court date was Feb 24, 2020. $57.00 in court fees, and 8-hr online course (with recommendation for user-friendliness) at a cost of $34.00. Kristin at the office was my point of contact and she's always quick to respond. Likewise, the few times I called the office, no one was too busy to answer questions or help me with information. While I recommend to watch your speed, if you don't, I then recommend Riley & Wells. :-D

I recently had thr misfortune of getting a speeding ticket while driving through Virginia on I 95. I was required to make a court appearance in the Richmond traffic court. I was not familiar with the Virgina traffic violation process so I contacted Riley & Wells law offices for advice. One of the attorneys called me back and took all my information I was relieved to here I would not have to make the 5 hour drive back to Virginia and that the attorney would represent me .They successfully argued my case and to my surprise I was only required to take and online safe driving course and pay the court cost. I would highly recommend them to anyone

Mr. Remington was prompt and courteous. He explained the process of what to expect to me and was very knowledgeable about the court district in which I received my ticket. He was confident that he would be able to assist and delivered on his assurances. The paralegal assisting him, Jana, was very responsive and helpful. I am very happy I reached out and retained their services. Thank you!
