Received a reckless driving charge and they we're able to get it waived with the exception that I attend driving school (which I did online). They also represented me in court and I didn't ever have to step foot on the premises. Very little hassle and worth the price!

I had a unique situation come up and was shocked that Mitch took my call on a Saturday. He immediately put me at ease and I could tell over the phone that he was a professional. I was not disappointed with the great service we ultimately received and the final resolution. I can't recommend this firm highly enoughBilly W.

Riley & Wells took a huge load off my shoulders as they took my case and decided to represent me for a VA summons I received for going 87/70. As a resident from another state I could not make it to the court date without having to leave work, but they took that matter into their own hands. They fought hard and were able to reduce it to a lesser offense of only going 79/70, saving me from a conviction of a Class 1 Misdemeanor. They reduced the amount of stress I had for this was my first offense and I was terrified. They kept their promise of giving me their utmost service and I highly recommend recommend their services!

Ed Riley listened to details about my case, clearly explained to me my options and was up front about what realistic expectations I could have. My traffic violation was dismissed and I only had to go to traffic court, which was the best scenario I could have hoped for in my case. Mr. Riley appeared to have knowledge of and good rapport with the judges in this area. Highly recommended!

I highly recommend this law firm. I got a reckless driving ticket in Dinwiddie County for driving 90 in a 70 mph zone (I was extremely late for work). Cody Remington got it knocked down to a simple speeding infraction, saving me a ton of money in insurance costs and avoiding putting any points on my license. Worth every penny! Sincerely thank you again guys!

Mitch was very knowledgeable about traffic laws and knew just the right strategy to get our case dismissed. He has a lot of experience with traffic court and put our minds at ease about the case. We’re so glad we had him on our side.

It was a good experience being represented by Riley & Wells for a reckless driving speeding ticket in Virginia. Mr. Wells was very well prepared and on point with all the possibilities of the outcome of the trial. The result was very much relief for me, with charges being reduced to normal speeding ticket. Rest assured, this firm cares about their clients and their attorneys prepare well for the courtroom. Excellent communication and response from legal assistant Kristin as well. Would recommend this to anyone needing help with speeding or reckless driving speeding tickets in VA.

Was involved in a commercial vehicle accident back in March and although it was a major accident I was only cited with a lane violation. I contacted Riley and wells and received a prompt, professional call from Cody Remington. We discussed the accident and he presented his case. The fee was fair and and I did not need to be present for the trial (live out of state) I was found not guilty and I could not be happier. I would highly recommend Cody Remington as council again. Thank you, sean taylor

I was charged with reckless driving - speeding 91/70 mph zone. Riley & Wells was able to get the speeding ticket reduced to defective equipment, which is a no points, non-moving, minor traffic infraction. I also did not have to show up to court as Cody represented me there.At the firm I worked with Cody and Kristin, they turned a bad situation into a good one. They were caring, friendly, and responsive to my concerns. I want to thank you, and everyone else in helping me to get the best possible outcome with my case.I highly recommend Riley & Wells, because they're the best!

Contacted Riley & Wells law firm because of a reckless driving ticket and was facing misdemeanor charges. Riley & Wells law firm was very helpful with on point communication. They represented me in court due to being from out of state. Court results were very successful with minimal fines, ticket reduced to speeding 1-9 over and only 3 points on my license. I would highly recommend this firm should you find yourself needing an attorney.

I had an awesome experience with Riley & Wells! I got a reckless driving charge in VA while on vacation & decided to get an attorney to go to court for me. I had no experience with court or how getting an attorney works, but their team made it so easy & gave me clear information as to what to expect & what they will be doing for me. Mr Wells got the misdemeanor charge down to the lowest offense- a non-moving infraction of defective equipment. That means no record & no points for me! $750 flat fee for his representation, plus $266 for the fine & court fees. I’d say that’s a pretty good deal considering what that reckless driving charge would cost me in fines & the spike in my insurance costs- plus the time off work & gas it would’ve cost me to drive back to VA to appear in court myself. Both Mr Wells & his assistant Kristin are great!

I was represented by Mr. Wells for a reckless driving charge of 86/65 in Prince George County. In our initial discussion over the phone everything was explained clearly regarding the charge and that he would go to work immediately on the case if hired. His confidence of getting the charge dismissed or reduced to a lower infraction helped remove the feeling of an anvil hanging over my head. In addition the concern that I would have to drive 2 hours to get to an unfamiliar court across the state during a pandemic was also put at ease has he would attend on my behalf.From this point his wonderful secretary contacted me and requested a copy of the driving record and advised me if anything else is needed they would be in touch. Few days before court I checked-in with Mr. Wells one last time and nothing else was needed on my case since the driving record was a good one in addition to my behavior with the officer. Result…he got the case reduced to a minor infraction. He is an excellent attorney and could not thank him enough, I highly recommend his firm!
