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.

Ed fought for me and swiftly had my innocence brought to light in an auto accident case. The professionalism of the office keeping me informed was admirable. The cost was about what I expected. I recommend highly as a native Richmonder.

I would highly recommend this firm!!! They literally saved my career!! I had a reckless driving charge in my regular car but I have a commercial drivers license! So being convicted wouldve really held me back, my lawyer Vinson appeared on my behalf in court and had my charged DROPPED!! (Henrico county) how he did it? I couldn’t tell you because the officer alleged I was going 80/35!!!! So my only guess is magic!!!! I couldn’t be more thankful and grateful for this firm!!! Again thank you 10/10 I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Dan Vinson is an amazing lawyer! He won a really hard DUI criminal defense case by persistence, laying out a plan and doggedly following through, chiseling away at the other side every step of the way! Not only does he understand the dynamics of the individuals that run the courtroom, but he also has an amazing grasp of technical law in order to fight as hard as he can for his clients!!! He has been persistent and got my matters to a positive resolution. Thank God for Dan!!!

*Realized when I logged into review them again that I never posted officially from 2018*So I am writing this review post two days from my appearance in traffic court. My name is Mike and I am in the Navy on Active Duty. Was on transfer leave moving from California to Quantico, VA.I was traveling from Jacksonville, North Carolina up to New Jersey and just after crossing into Virginia I had pulled over into the left lane to pass a vehicle in front of me and while in the process of doing this, I was pulled over by a Virginia Police Officer. I was cited for reckless driving with 82mph in a 70mph zone. I was in shock and didn’t know what to do, as this was the first time for me.I went home and proceeded to google for lawyers in the area and what the consequences were for a reckless driving ticket in Virginia. I found Riley & Wells and began to read through reviews to see how they were. I don’t think I read a single bad review from past clients. They were it.Following my first phone call with their staff, I immediately felt my nerves at ease. They were professional, knowledgeable, and confident that they could help me out of the rough spot I was in. They kept in touch with me every step of the way throughout piecing their strategy together.The day of trial came and the staff was phenomenal. I arrived in Emporia, VA for court and a Mr. Cody Remington was already at the courthouse and laying the groundwork. He brought me up to speak to the judge when it was time for my case and after about 5 minutes of general questions, Mr. Remington managed to get all charges dismissed after I paid $209 in court costs and fines.If things didn’t go in my favor that day, I would have felt the repercussions of my own carelessness for years to come. Riley & Wells were worth every single penny and I would give my utmost recommendation to anyone needing legal assistance with a traffic ticket in Southern Virginia.

Great customer and professional services! We hired them as my husband got a traffic ticket in Dinwiddie County on our way back home from vacation. They were able to bring the charges reduced from reckless driving to defective equipment! We would definitely recommend their services!

I could not be happier with the legal representation I received from Riley and Wells. I received a speeding ticket for 85 in a 70mph zone (I-95). Cody Remington was my attorney and he and his office communicated with me clearly from the outset. They outlined what they needed from me and the process was very smooth. I didn’t even have to appear in court in person, which was great. I live 4 hours away in MD. My case was dismissed, no moving violation, no points. I was surprised and thrilled! Thank you so much Mr. Remington and the team at Riley and Wells.

Ed worked ver hard on this case and was determined to get great results.Mr. Riley answered all my questions and explained the process to us clearly.

If you’re in need of legal assistance then look no further. I got caught going well over (more than double 😅) the posted speed limit and the team at Riley & Wells really helped me out. They quickly had me in communication with one of their attorneys whom patiently provided everything I needed to know as a first time offender. I really like how friendly the staff treated me throughout the entire process as I reached out to them several times before my case and each time they were very helpful. The outcome of every case will definitely be different but through the help of the team at Riley & Wells the results of my case were better than I expected (case dismissed).

I needed legal help after passing through Virginia in Sussex County and getting a ticket. I contacted Riley and wells because of their excellent reviews on line. I am so glad I did. The reviews were absolutely correct. Cody Remington put me at ease on our first phone call. He and his associates handled everything. All I had to do was worry. But I got such a favorable result because of them. So I worried a bit for nothing. Thank you Cody and your team.
