Emporia VA Traffic Court Client Review

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!

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.

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!

I live in NJ and was traveling down 95 through Richmond VA because my flight was cancelled in Florida. 17 hour drive. I received a speeding ticket on 95 and did not want points on my license or have to drive back for the court appearance. I contacted Riley & Wells who successfully fought my ticket. No points, quick and easy. Great communication and the outcome I wanted.

I worked with Mr. Dean and not only were all my questions answered but they were very professional. I had gotten a reckless driving charge in New Kent County and Mr. Dean worked his hardest to get it dropped to a minor traffic infraction. I was 77 in a 55, 22 over and ended up with a speeding ticket instead of a reckless and also only had to take a drivers improvement course which Mr. Dean and His paralegal had given me the link to. Thank you guys so much for your hard work. My life, Career, and Insurance thank you greatly.

I was represented by Joe Dean for a traffic matter and was very pleased with the offices hard work. I considered this a simple matter and they still prioritized my confidence.

I recently used Riley & Wells for a court case that I was extremely nervous about and I can truly say that I am more than satisfied with my outcome. I am an out of state resident and was unaware of the penalties for reckless driving in the state of Virginia. The team at Riley & Wells communicated with me throughout the process and kept me updated with my case. I ended up getting all charges dropped. And only had to pay minor court fees. I was extremely happy and would recommend this law firm to anyone who wants a positive outcome to their case.

The entire team was very responsive and professional. Mr. Wells took the time to explain to me all potential outcomes regarding my daughters reckless violation. His attentiveness put my mind at ease and the positive outcome was exactly how he predicted it would be. I was referred to his office by another attorney that was not willing to give a consultation even though they advertised that they offered it as a free service. Highly recommend this firm.

I got charged with a wreck less driving ticket, I was very nervous about this because I have a class A cdl drivers license. My driving record was already horrible, So I retained MR. Wells. who was referred to me by a friend! I couldn’t have been more pleased with him and his staff, they were great at communicating and very professional; not to mention My charge was dropped to defective equipment!!! I would recommend anyone who finds themselves in trouble with the law to give Riley&Wells a call they definitely know what they are doing!

I usually don't write reviews but when searching for a lawyer to represent me in court I heavily relied on Google reviews for guidance. I was given a ticket for Reckless Driving, which is a criminal misdemeanor in VA, it's a big deal, so I didn't want to take any chances by going with the most "affordable" lawyer who didn't have as many reviews on google. I had a great experience with Riley and Wells. Communication was great, via phone and email. Cody, who represented me was able to come to an agreement with the judge who lowered my charge to a non-moving violation for defective equipment and no points to my license. Very satisfied with their service, highly recommend to others who need representation in court for speeding tickets!
