Emporia VA Reckless Driving 100 mph NOT GUILTY

Emporia VA police stop a motorist in Emporia VA for a reckless driving traffic violation and issues a reckless driving traffic ticket

Emporia Police Issue Reckless Ticket

Driving 100 mph is taken very seriously by Emporia VA judges. In this case, our client was a professional driver who at the wrong moment with an open road decided to “open up” his Mustang and “punched it” for a few seconds. Unfortunately, a Police Officer was operating stationary RADAR at the exact same location and exact same time as our client and gathered evidence of speeds of 100 mph. Our lawyers were eventually able to present various arguments based on the evidence in the case to convince the Judge to enter an order that found our client NOT GUILTY of criminal misdemeanor reckless driving. The case was reduced to defective equipment. Click on the image to the left for actual court disposition.

Driving in Violation of DUI Restricted Driver’s License

Driving in Virginia with a suspended driver's license is a serious traffic violation In Virginia, there are various driver’s license offenses. These range from not having a driver’s license in your possession to driving with a revoked or suspended license. Va. Code 18.2-272 criminalizes one of the more serious types of driving without the proper licensing.

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.

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.

After getting a ticket on the 'golden corridor' of 295 around Richmond, I was inundated with ads for legal representation Instead, I sought an attorney from the local area, with a strong, positive online presence to represent me from out of state. While they weren't the least expensive option, they definitely achieved the results I hoped for, communicated through out the process, and in my estimation, were well worth it. If I had it to do over, I would make the same choice.

got a reckless driving ticket (83 in 70) on I95 S in Greensville County VA. I was terrified because I was a month away from applying for Citizenship and the last thing I wanted is a misdemeanor. contacted Mr. Remington who excepted my case and told me that there is nothing to worry about. he was able to reduce it to a faulty equipment ticket with $130 and no points.

I had a traffic citation in Virginia and needed legal assistance.

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.
