Cody Remington represented me in a traffic case in VA. As a non-resident--I went out on a whim and decided to reach out to Riley & Wells based solely off of their Google Reviews.It was a great decision and I am beyond pleased with the results. Everyone at their office was always available, friendly, professional and efficient.A huge thanks to this team, especially Mr. Remington and Levi Dixon.I HIGHLY recommend this firm

Riley and Wells helped massively in lowering the penalty for a pretty bad traffic ticket and were also extremely personable, friendly, and patient throughout the whole process. I would definitely recommend them for anyone looking for legal assistance with difficult traffic tickets.

So, I was vacationing in Florida with my fiance in January 2023. I was in such a rush to get home being as it was the only cold weekend in Florida when we happened to be out there and we live all the way in New Jersey. While I was passing by Virginia on I-95 I didnt realize that I was going 92 mph on a 70 mph zone until a police officer had stopped me and told me that he could take me to jail for it. I also could not find my license because I was in such a panic and it wasn't in my wallet where it always is, it happened to be in my back pocket (where I didn't check). So I ended up with a reckless driving ticket going 92 in a 70 and also a ticket for not being able to provide a license. I was panicking and doing so much research and called around like crazy to different lawyers in Virginia. I stopped calling around after I called Riley & Wells because Ive heard alot of good things from them on Reddit from people saying they had actually been going 92 in a 70 like I had and that Riley & Wells really saved them from jail time and everything. As soon as I got on the phone with Mr. Remington at Riley & Wells I immediately felt at ease as he said he would probably be able to get my "no license ticket" removed, if not just a small $10 payment and would be able to get my Reckless Driving down to the lowest charge possible and that I would not receive jail time. He also talked of how he knew everyone who was going to be there at the date of the court and that he knew the cop personally and he just made me feel very assured that he would get me the best deal possible. I immediately agreed to go with him, the price was very reasonable for those crazy tickets. All that he had recommended that I should do was take a 12 hour online driving course which I completed. I was so happy to hear that on my court date my "license ticket" was completely waived and for the reckless driving ticket I only got charged instead with a NON MOVING infraction with ZERO points. I was and still am over the moon happy and I would recommend this place a thousand times over to anyone who is stuck with anything in Virginia and needs an AMAZING lawyer. His team is also very personable and always got back to me as soon as possible whenever I had questions or concerns and I am speechless as far as how happy I am that I went with Riley & Wells. Everyone with traffic violations should go here as I wish I could give them 100 stars instead of 5. I could never thank these people enough, thank you for fighting for me!Amanda Kasprzak

I got a ticket for a 90 in 70 with one previous reckless driving ticket. I was in a panic and afraid of possible incarceration or losing my license. I contacted Riley & Wells and everyone I spoke with on the phone was so friendly. The day of my court date Mr. Remington was able to get my reckless driving down to a minor traffic infraction. I never felt so relieved.

I highly recommend this law firm here in the Richmond area. Esp. Mr. Mitch Wells , our attorney was amazing!His knowledge and experience will put you at ease right away. He answered all our questions, was empathetic and resolved the issue impeccably. His assistant Ms.Amy was prompt in answering our mails and calls and following up on the documents needed. No one desires to be in a situation that would require legal help, but if you are this is a great place to find a great attorney.

Not only is Ed Riley an excellent lawyer, because of course he knows his stuff and will fight for you, but he’s a very smart lawyer! He can quickly understand your problem and knows exactly how to approach it with the best results. Not all lawyers possess that quality. He was able to drop the charges brought against me with ease! He listens to you and makes you feel very comfortable, so definitely highly recommended! You will always have peace of mind when Mr. Riley is on your side!!P.S: His staff are also great to work with, and get back to you immediately with any questions you have, especially Lisa!

I receieved a misdemeanor reckless driving charge for my alleged speed (88 in a 70) as well as a radar detector ticket while on I85-N passing through Dinwiddie, Virginia. I called Riley and Wells and Cody Remington took my case. He was able to get the reckless charge down to defective equipment (a non-moving violation with no points) and greatly reduce the fine on the radar detector ticket. I highly recommend Cody and the entire staff for anyone who finds themselves in a similar situation.

This is the firm that you're looking for ❗SERIOUSLY❗ look no further. Picked up my case literally last minute was able to get my charges dismissed and all I had to do was handle a few small conditions really seriously nothing major whatsoever. I'm not sure if you've ever had to appear in front of a judge and have a lawyer by your side and halfway through you're looking at your lawyer" like what are you doing"?. Not these guys upon appearing in front of the judge I already knew what what we were going to say and what the goal was and number one on that list was preservation of my record which I greatly appreciate. Had my interest at heart and not the C.A. agenda . Definitely if I ever need a lawyer again this is the group I'll be calling. Much appreciated and again these are the ones that you want they'll be in your corner for real for real.

Right after I recieved a reckless driving ticket from Petersburg Sherrif's department I looked for a lawyer. I saw the reviews on Riley and Wells and immediately called them. Their staff immediately took down my information and Mr. Wells called me later that day. After discussing my case with him I knew right away that they could help me out. I took some pictures and laid out a story for them to help them better understand my situation. Mr. Wells discussed my case with me and the possible outcomes and his confidence in getting my ticket reduced. I was out of town and worried about my career as I did not criminal misdemeanor on my record. Mr. Wells kept me informed and notified me on the day of my court appearance right that my reckless driving had been lowered to a non driving violation. I am extremely glad that I called Riley and Wells and that they fought hard for me.

My case was very unique in a sense.. there were a lot of evidence against me & my attorney Mr. Daniel Vincent did an AMAZING job in getting my chargers reduced. Every time I called the office to either ask questions or make payments, I was always treated with the best service. I appreciate that Mr. Vincent was always very honest and upfront with me about HOW the case could go and what options were on the table going forward. Overall I was just very satisfied.
