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.

Trust and integrity is simply the watch words for Riley & Wells. I live in NC and needed legal help in the state of Virginia. I called Riley & Wells and they handled all of my legal matters above and beyond any set standards. Everyone I spoke to on the phone or in email treated with the upmost respect. They took care of my legal issues to highest level of my satisfaction without me needing to travel back to VA. They are truly the best legal team that I have ever met. If you need a total professional legal team with super and affordable prices please call Riley & Wells.

The firm was incredibly professional and easy to work with and even came recommended by fellow lawyers. Mr. Vinson took my initial call and answered all my questions (of which there were a few) and agreed to represent me. Heather and team were very responsive and communicative through email and things were wrapped up within a week after the court date. Mr. Vinson and team even got my ticket dismissed in Richmond court! Would definitely recommend their services for traffic violations in the area.

Very professional and easy to work with. Retainer is very reasonable, especially if you are from out of state and are unaware of Virginia's very strict traffic laws. Very well represented in court and in my case the original offense was downgraded. Cannot recommend Riley & Wells enough.

I recently got a reckless ticket going 87mph on a 70mph. As a full time college students and have a part time job I was very stressed/nervous if I can afford the lawyer fees or if I have the time to do additional requirements such as community services. Mr. Cody Remington gave me a flat fee of $1000 to represent me in court. He was able to reduce my charge to non effective equipment. Even though i spent a month of worth of pay check to paid for this and court fees. I’m very thankful for Mr. Remington and the receptionist for always being helpful and definitely learned my lesson.

Riley & Wells Attorney-At-Law made things so easy for me when they accepted my case and decided to represent me for a VA summons I received for going 97/70. As I am not from Virginia and it was inconvenient for me to take a trip back just for court they took that matter into their own hands and were able to attend for me. They managed to get my entire cases dismissed saving me from a conviction of a Class 1 Misdemeanor. They reduced the amount of stress I had for this was my first offense and I was terrified. They kept their promise of giving me their utmost service and I highly recommend recommend their services!

I had a unique situation come up and was shocked that Mitch took my call on a Saturday. He immediately put me at ease and I could tell over the phone that he was a professional. I was not disappointed with the great service we ultimately received and the final resolution. I can't recommend this firm highly enoughBilly W.

Riley & Wells took a huge load off my shoulders as they took my case and decided to represent me for a VA summons I received for going 87/70. As a resident from another state I could not make it to the court date without having to leave work, but they took that matter into their own hands. They fought hard and were able to reduce it to a lesser offense of only going 79/70, saving me from a conviction of a Class 1 Misdemeanor. They reduced the amount of stress I had for this was my first offense and I was terrified. They kept their promise of giving me their utmost service and I highly recommend recommend their services!

Ed Riley listened to details about my case, clearly explained to me my options and was up front about what realistic expectations I could have. My traffic violation was dismissed and I only had to go to traffic court, which was the best scenario I could have hoped for in my case. Mr. Riley appeared to have knowledge of and good rapport with the judges in this area. Highly recommended!

I highly recommend this law firm. I got a reckless driving ticket in Dinwiddie County for driving 90 in a 70 mph zone (I was extremely late for work). Cody Remington got it knocked down to a simple speeding infraction, saving me a ton of money in insurance costs and avoiding putting any points on my license. Worth every penny! Sincerely thank you again guys!

Mitch was very knowledgeable about traffic laws and knew just the right strategy to get our case dismissed. He has a lot of experience with traffic court and put our minds at ease about the case. We’re so glad we had him on our side.

It was a good experience being represented by Riley & Wells for a reckless driving speeding ticket in Virginia. Mr. Wells was very well prepared and on point with all the possibilities of the outcome of the trial. The result was very much relief for me, with charges being reduced to normal speeding ticket. Rest assured, this firm cares about their clients and their attorneys prepare well for the courtroom. Excellent communication and response from legal assistant Kristin as well. Would recommend this to anyone needing help with speeding or reckless driving speeding tickets in VA.

Was involved in a commercial vehicle accident back in March and although it was a major accident I was only cited with a lane violation. I contacted Riley and wells and received a prompt, professional call from Cody Remington. We discussed the accident and he presented his case. The fee was fair and and I did not need to be present for the trial (live out of state) I was found not guilty and I could not be happier. I would highly recommend Cody Remington as council again. Thank you, sean taylor

I was charged with reckless driving - speeding 91/70 mph zone. Riley & Wells was able to get the speeding ticket reduced to defective equipment, which is a no points, non-moving, minor traffic infraction. I also did not have to show up to court as Cody represented me there.At the firm I worked with Cody and Kristin, they turned a bad situation into a good one. They were caring, friendly, and responsive to my concerns. I want to thank you, and everyone else in helping me to get the best possible outcome with my case.I highly recommend Riley & Wells, because they're the best!

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.
