Caroline County VA Reckless Driving 125 mph REDUCED by the Jury

Caroline Reckless Driving Jury Trial Not Guilty

Most traffic law cases are tried with a bench or Judge trial. This case was resolved with a jury trial. This reckless driving case alleged speed evidence of 125 mph in a 65 mph zone. We discovered a significant issue with the accuracy of the state trooper’s RADAR evidence. This issue involved calibration documents for the state trooper’s RADAR equipment. We convinced the jurors that there were significant errors with the trooper’s evidence and the Jury ruled for our client by finding him not guilty of misdemeanor reckless driving. The jury reduced our client’s case to the minor traffic of improper driving and imposed a $250 fine.

After receiving a traffic infraction on 460/Sussex County. I contacted Riley & Wells the same day. After speaking with the attorney and being advised as to what I could expect. I paid the fees and they handled the rest; 100%. I did not receive any negative points on my +5 driving record and only paid court costs and a fine. I couldn't ask for more. They did what they said they would do.

I want to express my deepest and sincerest appreciation for the expert legal counsel and representation by your firm at my recent court appearance at Hanover County General District Court for the charge of reckless driving. Mr. Wells’ counsel prior to, and representation during my case was outstanding and resulted in the best possible judgement possible given the circumstances. I am also very thankful to Mr. Riley for taking my case and his initial counseling in which he advised me of a number of actions to take in order to mitigate the consequences as a result of the reckless driving charge. Furthermore, I would like to extend thanks to all of the associates at Riley and Wells law firm that assisted in my case.Riley and Wells attorneys at law have exceeded my expectations and guided me the entire way through my case.

I am thankful to Mr. Riley and his team for the swift process of expunging a case that was on my records holding me back from residency in another country. They were able to take care of everything for me without me ever stepping foot in their office, and I am highly appreciative of that because my family and I have been traveling frequently for the last few years. My family and I can continue our travels with a light heart, and it's all thanks to Mr. Riley's diligent efforts! We thank you, and we highly recommend this law firm!

I-95 is a long road that switches up its speed limits on a regular basis through VA. Remington knows the road, knows the areas, and knows the courts in those areas. It’s a mistake not to go with Riley & Wells when facing the state.

If you ever get a speeding ticket this law firm is the best destination for you especially by having Cody Remington whom shown the passion, desire and determination toward fighting my charge reducing it to a defective equipment traffic violation containing a small fee consisting of fine and court cost.

So, I was vacationing in Florida with my fiance in January 2023. I was in such a rush to get home being as it was the only cold weekend in Florida when we happened to be out there and we live all the way in New Jersey. While I was passing by Virginia on I-95 I didnt realize that I was going 92 mph on a 70 mph zone until a police officer had stopped me and told me that he could take me to jail for it. I also could not find my license because I was in such a panic and it wasn't in my wallet where it always is, it happened to be in my back pocket (where I didn't check). So I ended up with a reckless driving ticket going 92 in a 70 and also a ticket for not being able to provide a license. I was panicking and doing so much research and called around like crazy to different lawyers in Virginia. I stopped calling around after I called Riley & Wells because Ive heard alot of good things from them on Reddit from people saying they had actually been going 92 in a 70 like I had and that Riley & Wells really saved them from jail time and everything. As soon as I got on the phone with Mr. Remington at Riley & Wells I immediately felt at ease as he said he would probably be able to get my "no license ticket" removed, if not just a small $10 payment and would be able to get my Reckless Driving down to the lowest charge possible and that I would not receive jail time. He also talked of how he knew everyone who was going to be there at the date of the court and that he knew the cop personally and he just made me feel very assured that he would get me the best deal possible. I immediately agreed to go with him, the price was very reasonable for those crazy tickets. All that he had recommended that I should do was take a 12 hour online driving course which I completed. I was so happy to hear that on my court date my "license ticket" was completely waived and for the reckless driving ticket I only got charged instead with a NON MOVING infraction with ZERO points. I was and still am over the moon happy and I would recommend this place a thousand times over to anyone who is stuck with anything in Virginia and needs an AMAZING lawyer. His team is also very personable and always got back to me as soon as possible whenever I had questions or concerns and I am speechless as far as how happy I am that I went with Riley & Wells. Everyone with traffic violations should go here as I wish I could give them 100 stars instead of 5. I could never thank these people enough, thank you for fighting for me!Amanda Kasprzak

I got a ticket for a 90 in 70 with one previous reckless driving ticket. I was in a panic and afraid of possible incarceration or losing my license. I contacted Riley & Wells and everyone I spoke with on the phone was so friendly. The day of my court date Mr. Remington was able to get my reckless driving down to a minor traffic infraction. I never felt so relieved.
