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

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. Driving while your license is revoked from a DUI conviction or in violation of a restricted driver’s license is taken seriously by the DMV and the Courts. A conviction triggers a 12 month loss of driving privileges and in many cases a jail sentence.

RILEY & WELLS YOU ARE THE BEST!I received a reckless driving ticket in VA and the attorney was able to get the ticket dismissed (I had to pay fees/court cost ). There are no points on my license, my license did not get revoked, and most of all my insurance did not go up. THANKS R&W firm

My husband recently was charged with a very serious traffic offense in Virginia (we are MD residents)...and had to appear in court (almost 3 hours from our home). We contacted our lawyer in MD who referred us to Riley & Wells. After just one phone call and one email, we were set for them to represent him. They told us what to expect, what they thought they could do and what they thought the outcome would be. Court was yesterday - they did MORE than they originally said, the outcome was INCREDIBLY better than they had initially thought, we are THRILLED. This situation could have seriously impacted our lives and within a little over a month, it is done, settled and behind us. THANK YOU! And, I must add, the legal assistant we dealt with, Jana, was about the most efficient person I have 'met' in a long time. Her responses were quick, and accurate every time....

I was very scared when I saw that what I thought was a regular speeding ticket on my way home through Virginia, was in fact a Misdemeanor reckless driving ticket. I immediately looked for a reputable firm local to that county and Riley & Wells was at the top of the list. They were kind and helpful and explained everything that would happen. I was very pleased with the outcome of my case, and would recommend them to anyone who was in my position. Thanks :)

When you get your first speed ticket, those who hurry to write you to tell you their experience in the field are not usually the right ones for you. I got my first ticket when I was driving to DC from Raleigh NC to resolve an issue . The officer pulled me out for reckless driving (82/70). I received multiple letters from autornies when I got back. I check online for most rated and find Riley and wells. Thier fees are reasonable. Remington did a wonderful job. Finally I only had to pay the fine and the court fees. I recommend Remington if anyone has the same problem.

Cody Remington was an excellent attorney that provided the best possible outcome and I highly recommend him. I am an out of state resident that was caught in, what is considered in almost every other state, a speed trap. A disreputable city that controls a one mile stretch of highway uses it as a revenue source for their city. Cody was able to provide me with an outcome that didn’t put a moving violation on my record but this crooked city still got their money. This officer looks for out of state plates and snags people who are going a few miles an hour over the speed limit on an empty highway where nobody would expect to be ticketed. I’m happy about Cody’s performance but I think the state of Virginia needs to look at this unconstitutional speed trap.

I was ticketed in Sussex County at 57/35. I was represented by Mr. Joe Dean in court and he managed to get my charge dismissed. I could not have been more pleased with the outcome. Mr. Deans legal assistant Ms.Niki Flores was top notch as well. She responded to all my questions promptly and helped set my mind at ease. Thank You!

Was out of town on vacation and got a skeptical reckless driving charge. I was in disbelief and stressed beyond measure. I reached out and called Riley & Wells immediately for assistance. I told them the situation and he confidently said "you have nothing to worry about". The end result was 'not guilty' of the initial charge and it was dropped to a lesser non-moving violation with no points deducted on my license. I am greatly pleased by the outcome.

Thanks to Ed Riley and his excellent staff at Riley & Wells, my traffic violation was greatly reduced. They gave me good advice from the very beginning and shepherded me through the whole process. Everyone from Mr. Riley to his paralegals, was professional, friendly, and highly competent. I strongly recommend Ed and his team when you need a lawyer for traffic related offenses. Don't take chances with your driving record, get the professional assistance you need for a good outcome.

I hired Cody Remington at this firm to handle a speeding ticket that I got in Virginia while driving north. He and his firm got me an excellent result (charge reduced to mere violation, no points, minor fine). They were responsive, good communicators, very professional, and they delivered! As a retired attorney I can say this is not always what you get when dealing with lawyers. I highly recommend Mr. Remington and Riley & Wells.

I retained Mr. Wells for my speeding ticket in Henrico 51/35mph and I couldn't be more pleased with my outcome!! All I have to do is driving school and my charge will be dismissed! I want to take this time to truly thank Mr. Wells and his amazing team (his paralegal Erin was fantastic) for working with me! I was in full panic before speaking with him and his team because my driving history wasn't the best but they made me feel 100% better about my situation. I HIGHLY recommend Riley and Wells if you are in any type of pickle!

I really appreciate the handling of my overspeeding case by Riley & Wells. Although they charged me quite high compared to what few others had quoted, I had my peace regained with the case closed very neatly by my attorney. Thanks a lot, Mr. Remington for the same. Also thanks a lot to Jana for the reassurance during the process!
