I'd like to take this opportunity to Thank RILEY & WELLS Attorneys AT LAW, especially to Atty. Ed Riley who represented my 2 case charges last March 4th. I was not present during the court date, but Atty. Riley represented me and I trusted him and I was very satisfied with the results. With both same date of offense, 1)The defective equipment charge - upon payment of Court cost $15. will be dismissed and 2) The reckless speeding 58/35 mph zone charge - if successfully completed a Driving School Course and return the Completion Card to the Court with the cost $91. then the speeding charge will be dismissed. I had already complied the payment of $15. and I also completed the Driving school course and and got a certificate and I will go to the Court this week to give/return the Certificate completion card. Again, many thanks to you Atty. Riley and Lisa and Heather for your support into my case......All the best.Respectfully; LB

5 stars aren't enough. I was visited VA in October 2019 and traveling 70 in a 55 on 95 South. I changed lanes in front of a trooper (probably the only reason he saw ME). Got a ticket... found Riley & Wells online and gave them a shot. I'm from Florida and their reviews are what won me.. and I see why. $350.00 retainer and the Court date was Feb 24, 2020. $57.00 in court fees, and 8-hr online course (with recommendation for user-friendliness) at a cost of $34.00. Kristin at the office was my point of contact and she's always quick to respond. Likewise, the few times I called the office, no one was too busy to answer questions or help me with information. While I recommend to watch your speed, if you don't, I then recommend Riley & Wells. :-D

I recently had thr misfortune of getting a speeding ticket while driving through Virginia on I 95. I was required to make a court appearance in the Richmond traffic court. I was not familiar with the Virgina traffic violation process so I contacted Riley & Wells law offices for advice. One of the attorneys called me back and took all my information I was relieved to here I would not have to make the 5 hour drive back to Virginia and that the attorney would represent me .They successfully argued my case and to my surprise I was only required to take and online safe driving course and pay the court cost. I would highly recommend them to anyone

Mr. Remington was prompt and courteous. He explained the process of what to expect to me and was very knowledgeable about the court district in which I received my ticket. He was confident that he would be able to assist and delivered on his assurances. The paralegal assisting him, Jana, was very responsive and helpful. I am very happy I reached out and retained their services. Thank you!

I was represented by Joseph E. Dean who did a amazing job in the courtroom. I was the defendant in a case where a restraining order was requested against me. I felt this was unwarranted and Mr Dean was able to convey this message to the judge. There was a moment when I felt the case may have been in favor of the Prosecuting Attorney however, Mr Dean handled himself very well with the judge and I believe he was able to turn the case around by getting the judge to see the case through our eyes. I must admit I was worried since I never meet with Mr Dean until the day of court. I can't stress enough how well he handled himself with the Judge and his ability to get the facts and letter of the law to speak on my behalf. The Judge ruled in my favor and did not grant the restraining order, which could have affected my current employment and future employment. If there is an Appeal or I need legal assistance in the future I will reach out to Joseph E. Dean. The fee for the case was 2500 but well worth the representation as I feel I would have lost the case if I tried to represent myself in this matter.

Excellent service. 750$ to retain. Did not have to show up to court. Got my Reckless Driving charge reduced (was doing 88mph in a 70mph on I-95 North) to a Minor Traffic Infraction, Speeding 1 - 9 mph over the limit. 261$ for the ticket +30$ in Court Costs. Issue was resolved promptly and effectively. Service desk was helpful and polite when I called in for different updates and communication. Would highly recommend and use again myself.

Received excellent service from Riley & Wells and they were able to drop the charges to a lower level that did not impact my driving record or insurance. The circumstances were unfortunate but I am glad I had this team representing me.

Mitch Wells was able to maintain my "perfect" driving record by working with the judge/prosecutor to modify an 84/70 ticket to a defective equipment judgement. Happy with the outcome, and using my cruise control a lot more! :-) The back office support (Kristin) was on top of things in preparation for the case... so very happy with the interactions!

I came to Riley & Wells somewhat last minute about my reckless driving ticket (86/65) and they exceeded my expectations, even after reading all these great reviews. Edward Riley and Lisa Brannan took amazing care of me and my case. As long as I take a driving class my case will be completely dismissed. No fines, no loss of license, and I avoided a moving violation with 0 points on my record. I didn't even have to attend court and the price was beyond fair. Thanks guys!!!

I got a speeding ticket in Chesterfield county. Joe Dean, from Riley & Wells, handled my case excellently. They only needed a few phone calls to work out all the details. Mr. Dean attended court on my behalf, so I didn't need to take time off work. I am very satisfied with the outcome of my case, and the online driving school Mr. Dean recommended was affordable and easy to use. The assistant I spoke with most frequently, Heather, was knowledgeable and able to answer all of my questions.

I got a reckless driving charge in Emporia Virginia and received many letters from lawyers but not from Riley and Wells! I went with them because of the reviews on their website. So incredibly professional and the outcome was amazing! Thank-you to a fantastic team!!!!!
