Greensville County VA Reckless Driving Client Reviews

Mr. Dean was my attorney for a reckless driving charge, he was able to talk them down to dismissing the case after driving school, overall very satisfied with his performance.

I was alleged of 92 in 70 criminal reckless driving. Mr. Wells defended my case in Emporia and got it ruled as defective equipment just like he told me he would attempt to do. There are definitely cheaper options, but I live out of state about 7 hours from Emporia and I value my time heavily so I didn't mind paying for him to show up for me to defend the case with his great track record. Would recommend.

I was charged with a criminal reckless driving offense in Virginia when I was driving by, I was scared and it felt like my world was coming to end, someome recommended this firm and I decided to try them out, they reduced my offense from a criminal conviction to a defective equipment, non moving ticket, which is almost like a dismissed case cos it carrys no point and doesn't affect my driving record or increase my insurance.. So it was a let off for me and I can once again drive around with my clean record still intact... Am glad I chose them to represent me.. Thank you for all you do

Couldn't be happier with my Riley & Wells Team! From start to finish everyone that I had communications with was kind, professional, quick to respond and left no details out. They took care of my misdemeanor/reckless driving ticket without me having to even be there. I hope to NOT have to use them again, but if you need an attorney this is the Team to turn to! Thank you Jana & Cody for EVERYTHING!!

I used Riley and Wells for two charges against me in the state of VA. Every employee I talked to was always very responsive and courteous. I never had an issue getting a response via phone or email. From my initial conversation with Mr. Wells, he was able to give me a good sense of the outcome he would expect, he was very transparent. I would recommend Riley & Wells, especially if you are out of state and cannot make the trial in person, their communication and responsiveness made the entire process easier.

They are a life saver! I appreciate the quality work the attorney did for me. I wasn’t promised an outcome, but was reassured they would deal with my case the best they could. I can tell there was a lot of leg work because of my situation, and they delivered. They were dedicated to my case and kept in touch with me about all the necessary steps they were doing. The team communicated with me in a timely manner, allowing me room to get all my documents. They know what they are doing, I am so glad I decided to go with them. If I find myself in a position of needing an attorney, they will be my first call.

Called Riley & Wells after I got a speeding ticket doing 70 in a 55. The process was super easy. Heather and Joseph Dean (who represented me) were super responsive. After I had called I communicated with Heather mostly via email, especially since my court date kept getting pushed back due to Covid. Heather kept me up to date and was very responsive. Joseph Dean represented me at court last week and was great!! AlI I have to do is pay the court fees and take a driving course and the ticket will be dismissed. Well worth it and would definitely call them again if needed!!

I have nothing but good things to say about Riley and Wells. I got charged with reckless driving (a 1st degree misdemeanor) and hired Cody Remington from this law firm to defend me. Despite the absurdly high speed the Commonwealth of Virginia alleged I was going, Mr. Remington was able to have my criminal charge dropped and replaced with a measly traffic infraction. He was helpful and well experienced in reckless driving cases in the local courts. He knows the judges and prosecutors well and is both willing and able to schedule hearings with the judge best suited for a best case scenario ruling on his client's behalf. The law firm was also responsive with his paralegal, Jana Jankowiak, never more than a message away and always willing to promptly answer the many questions a criminal defendant is bound to have. This may sound like a basic and expected review, but this law firm was genuinely the greatest thing I could have hoped for as a defendant. I highly recommend them, especially if you're an out of state traveler like me.

I was referred to Ed Riley by a trusted friend after getting a 2nd DUI this past January. I was facing up-to a year in jail. Mr Riley spent a solid hour on the phone with me before I moved forward. He was straight forward from the very start. Not only did Mr Riley get my 2nd DUI charge dropped to a 1st offense, but you can tell that he truly does care to help. Lisa and the rest of the team were also wonderful through this entire process. I highly recommend Ed Riley and the entire team at Riley & Wells Attorneys-At-Law.

I called Riley and Wells Attorney-At-Law for a speeding ticket, my 17 year old son, needed representation on. They were friendly and great customer service. He communicated well with me and inform me of what he could do for my case. There were several recommendations to prove to the court that my son was of high character and made a mistake, we followed all of these and it played out in court the way he prescribed. He answered all my question and payment was easy. The results in my case was amazing and super happy with them. I definitely recommend them. Thank you for your help and making sure that my teenager wasn't paying the price for years to come in insurance premiums and lost driving points.

Riley & Wells was able to come to my rescue at an affordable price and was able to lower my charges, avoid jail time and save my license. it was an easy process, they are very responsive and informative. I greatly appreciate their services and would recommend them to everyone.

Mr Remington answered all my questions and delivered the discussed results. As never living in VA I was completely unaware of the barbaric “reckless over 80” laws they have. Most states tack reckless on a ticket for true reckless driving, whereas VA just arbitrarily tacks it on all speeds over 80. I was clocked at 84 in a 70 and given a reckless charge, and since I drive for work this could have been detrimental to my future employment. Mr Remington came to my defense and was able to get the charge reduced to a non-moving violation. Thank you Riley and Wells, you put my mind at ease and delivered the results I needed.
