Great experience with Riley and Wells handling a reckless driving ticket (83mph in a 70mph zone). Being from out of state, I didn't realize Virginia handled certain speeds differently than a simple moving violation. They walked me through what was needed and got a favorable outcome from the court appearance.

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!

I was represented by Joseph E. Dean who did a amazing job in the courtroom. I was the defendant in a case where a restraining order was requested against me. I felt this was unwarranted and Mr Dean was able to convey this message to the judge. There was a moment when I felt the case may have been in favor of the Prosecuting Attorney however, Mr Dean handled himself very well with the judge and I believe he was able to turn the case around by getting the judge to see the case through our eyes. I must admit I was worried since I never meet with Mr Dean until the day of court. I can't stress enough how well he handled himself with the Judge and his ability to get the facts and letter of the law to speak on my behalf. The Judge ruled in my favor and did not grant the restraining order, which could have affected my current employment and future employment. If there is an Appeal or I need legal assistance in the future I will reach out to Joseph E. Dean. The fee for the case was 2500 but well worth the representation as I feel I would have lost the case if I tried to represent myself in this matter.

Excellent service. 750$ to retain. Did not have to show up to court. Got my Reckless Driving charge reduced (was doing 88mph in a 70mph on I-95 North) to a Minor Traffic Infraction, Speeding 1 - 9 mph over the limit. 261$ for the ticket +30$ in Court Costs. Issue was resolved promptly and effectively. Service desk was helpful and polite when I called in for different updates and communication. Would highly recommend and use again myself.

Received excellent service from Riley & Wells and they were able to drop the charges to a lower level that did not impact my driving record or insurance. The circumstances were unfortunate but I am glad I had this team representing me.

Mitch Wells was able to maintain my "perfect" driving record by working with the judge/prosecutor to modify an 84/70 ticket to a defective equipment judgement. Happy with the outcome, and using my cruise control a lot more! :-) The back office support (Kristin) was on top of things in preparation for the case... so very happy with the interactions!

I came to Riley & Wells somewhat last minute about my reckless driving ticket (86/65) and they exceeded my expectations, even after reading all these great reviews. Edward Riley and Lisa Brannan took amazing care of me and my case. As long as I take a driving class my case will be completely dismissed. No fines, no loss of license, and I avoided a moving violation with 0 points on my record. I didn't even have to attend court and the price was beyond fair. Thanks guys!!!

I got a speeding ticket in Chesterfield county. Joe Dean, from Riley & Wells, handled my case excellently. They only needed a few phone calls to work out all the details. Mr. Dean attended court on my behalf, so I didn't need to take time off work. I am very satisfied with the outcome of my case, and the online driving school Mr. Dean recommended was affordable and easy to use. The assistant I spoke with most frequently, Heather, was knowledgeable and able to answer all of my questions.

I got a reckless driving charge in Emporia Virginia and received many letters from lawyers but not from Riley and Wells! I went with them because of the reviews on their website. So incredibly professional and the outcome was amazing! Thank-you to a fantastic team!!!!!

I had court for 118mph in a 55 reckless driving on HENRICO. I grew up in the system one charge after the other, I've had a lot of lawyers and been tried many times. I have never in my entire life seen somebody work his magic like that and get a ridiculously awesome outcome on a definite jail sentence. Im not even playing this dude was making moves in court and got me a $750 fine for a charge that carries almost definite jailtime and liscense suspension. This dude is worth every penny.

Sean Tracy

Hands down the best experience one could possibly hope for. Mr. Wells got my case dismissed and was able to talk me through it. I also was in touch the whole time with his fantastic assistant Kristin. Worth every penny.

Coming from out of state I was weary about who I would find to represent me in a situation I did not expect to find myself. The 'reckless driving' charge that I received for speeding in VA was a shock to me but Riley & Wells have seen it many times. My lawyer was clear about the services he could provide and delivered on them all. The communication was precise easy to understand.

Got my 84 in a 70 case dismissed! Well worth the cost to avoid the long term cost of increased insurance rates! Would recomend!

In January 2020 I was issued a reckless driving ticket for a incident that I was involved in. I am a CDL driver and need a good driving record for my job and this ticket could take all of that away. I knew I needed to find a attorney that was well respected to help me. I contacted a friend who works in the court system, a person I hold in high regards and asked him for a recommendation. He suggested Mr Wells at Riley & Wells. I contacted Mr. Wells and did a phone interview with him. He was very aware how serious a this charge is to a my CDL and for my job. I also explained employer that had suspended from driving until my case had been resolved. At the time we talked my court date was two months way. Mr. Wells suggested that we have the court date moved up as soon as possible. Two weeks after my initial contact with Mr. Wells I received a phone call from him. I thought he was calling to further discuss my case and about moving it forward. Instead he called to tell me that he had already discussed the matter with the courts and the commonwealth's attorney and that my case had been dismissed. He said that the incident would not show up on my driving record and to quote Mr Wells " it's like it never happened". The next day when I walked into work , they told me my driving privileges had been reinstated. If you are looking for a attorney that understands how important driving is to your lively hood and can make things happen. You need to call Mr. Wells.

I was personally a bit skeptical hiring a lawyer for a reckless driving charge would be worth it. Now I have a speeding ticket instead. The staff is on top of everything and everyone is pleasant to work with.
