Lawrenceville Virginia Traffic Lawyer Client Review

We recently had to engage Riley and Wells regarding a traffic citation (81 in a 70 MPH along the I-85 corridor) our daughter received while driving back to her college in VA. After seeing the reviews that were posted, and speaking with the staff at Riley & Wells I believe we made an excellent choice. I appreciate their professionalism and diligent work in getting our her citation reduced to defective equipment. They did a fabulous job in preventing her from having points placed on her license (which would have meant a BIG increase in her premiums). I heartily recommend them to anyone in similar circumstances.

Lawrenceville Reckless Driving 90/70 REDUCED

Riley & Wells traffic attorneys represented a client from Maryland who was charged with misdemeanor reckless driving speeding 90/70 mph. During our client intake process, our client indicated to us what amounts to the “wrong car” defense. This is where the radar operator captures speed evidence thru the use of his RADAR unit, but sometimes there becomes an issue as to whether the police officer pulled over the correct vehicle. Our attorneys thoroughly and completely analyzed our client’s case and we were able to convince the Judge to reduce the misdemeanor reckless driving allegation down to a minor speeding case. Our client was happy with the outcome, and perhaps more importantly, was glad that we achieved his goal of avoiding a permanent misdemeanor criminal conviction.

Lawrenceville DUI 0.23 BAC DISMISSED

Riley & Wells Attorneys-At-Law represented a client who was arrested for DUI some period of time after the alleged incident. The client was located after some period of time at a local convenience store where he was observed consuming alcoholic beverages. The client did not perform any field sobriety exercises but provided a breath test that was analyzed. The client’s breath test result as determined by the Department of Forensic Science contained a blood alcohol content of 0.23. The primary issue in the case was what is referred to as “after consumed alcohol.” The Judge granted a defense motion to strike the admissibility of the breath test evidence, which left the prosecution with insufficient evidence to prove its allegation beyond a reasonable doubt. The case was dismissed.

Lawrenceville VA Drive on a Suspended License REDUCED

Riley & Wells traffic lawyers represented a client from Bumpass VA who was pulled over for displaying no front license plate in Lawrenceville-Brunswick County by a Virginia State Trooper. A driver’s license check revealed that our client was driving on a suspended driver’s license in violation of Va. Code 46.2-301. As it turned out, our client was convicted of several minor traffic offenses across Virginia, and had never paid the fines and court costs. As a result, the DMV suspended our client’s privilege to drive. We advised our client how to bring his driving privilege into compliance with the law, and then we made arguments to persuade the Brunswick Judge that the suspended driver’s license should be reduced to a lesser offense with only a minor fine being imposed.
