Lexington VA Reckless Driving DISMISSED

Our Lexington VA reckless driving attorneys represented a client accused of reckless driving for driving too fast. In this case, we developed defenses to the police RADAR device used to calculate speed. A plea of not guilty was entered. We were able to effectively cross examine the police officer who operated the RADAR in this case and made the reckless driving allegation. We exposed the fact that the RADAR used in this particular case was not tested for accuracy with properly calibrated tuning forks, which is required by Va. Code 46.2-882. The Judge granted our motion to dismiss the case.

We were able to present compelling evidence and arguments to persuade the Court to take the case under advisement and to eventually find our client NOT GUILTY of the allegation.

I needed legal help after passing through Virginia in Sussex County and getting a ticket. I contacted Riley and wells because of their excellent reviews on line. I am so glad I did. The reviews were absolutely correct. Cody Remington put me at ease on our first phone call. He and his associates handled everything. All I had to do was worry. But I got such a favorable result because of them. So I worried a bit for nothing. Thank you Cody and your team.

Mr. Remington was a huge help for me. I was pulled over for speeding by state police......... in Prince George, VA. I was late for my Veterans affairs appointment because the VA set my appointment two hours away from me (of course). My court date was April 14 and Mr. Remington got everything dismissed. I wanted to attend court but got sick right before. I currently live in NJ and Mr. Remington handled everything for me. I highly recommend Riley and Wells, especially Mr. Remington.

I spoke with Cody Remington, he explained the process and informed me of the parties that would be involved . I followed his instructions and communicated all my concerns with him. My case was settled with the utmost professionalism and I couldn’t be happier with the results.

I was very happy with the outcome. There were a lot of twists around my son’s case of a stolen cell phone and it was very confusing if you didn’t know all the people involved. I wasn’t sure if my case had been reviewed thoroughly but once I brought this to Mr. Riley’s attention and explained the whole situation, I feel that he believed us and did a great job relaying this to the commonwealth attorney and to the judge. They chose not to prosecute my son’s case due to lack of evidence against him and evidence that pointed to another person that actually stole the phone. So we are happy with and relieved about the outcome and are able to move on with our lives.

I unfortunately received a speeding ticket in Dinwiddie County on route 460 on my way home from work. I was going 82 mph on route 460, 60 mph speed limit. I don’t live in VA, from NV, and had no idea how terrible VA traffic laws are compared to NV. Plus, the state troopers don’t give warnings. Found out the hard way if driving over 20 the speed limit and or going over 80 mph is a misdemeanor, reckless driving. Yikes! My last speeding ticket was over 20 years ago. After reading more about VA misdemeanor reckless driving law and what this can do to my insurance and the high fines, I knew I needed an attorney. Hired Riley and Wells because of the 5 star reviews. . Kristin took all my information and Mr. Wells called me back. Very professional. After talking to Mr. Wells, I felt very relieved and more at ease with my possible outcomes. With my excellent representation in court by Mr. Wells, I was found not guilty, only defective equipment. A win, no points on my record. Highly recommend them!

Riley and Wells is one great legal team. I had a gun case from 20 plus years ago that they helped me get my gun rights back and I couldnt be more happier. It took a whole whopping 5 min in the courtroom, in and out, and thats how I like it. Felt good knowing I wasnt going to the back room again (if you know what I mean) but felt even better getting out of there in 5 min with my rights restored. If you need a good attorney, look no further, you just found them!

I was given a ticket for doing 85 in a 70 mph zone on Interstate 95. I live in Pennsylvania and was not sure how to proceed. The only speeding ticket I ever received was 35 years ago. I contacted Riley & Wells. They walked me through the entire process. During all of my interactions with them, I was always treated with respect and dignity. I ended up getting a non-moving violation with a fine and no points. I highly recommend Riley &Wells, without any reservations, to represent you for any legal matter.

Mr. Wells represented me in Greensville County District Court for speeding, that led up to a reckless driving charge. I was found not guilty of reckless driving, however, found guilty of defective equipment. The courts imposed a fine of 250.00 plus 76.00 court cost. This is considered a win, since my insurance will not go up and there is no points to my license. Advice to others, don't speed in Emporia. Emporia is widely considered the most notorious speed trap in Virginia, despite being their state's second least-populous independent city. That should tell you enough right there.Thank you Riley & Wells Attorney At Law for your assistance in my case.

Want to thank the entire team for their work over the last few months. From start to finish they have been amazing and communicating so that I was aware of each step. Because of them, I was able to have my ticket dismissed. I really appreciate the work and professionalism.

Driving through Henrico county in Virginia, on my way to Northern Virginia, I was stopped by the police, and issued a speeding ticket for 11 miles over the limit. Didn’t matter that we had entered the road only a couple of miles earlier, and had not yet seen a posted speed limit. We found Riley and Wells listed on Google, and read the reviews. We couldn’t be happier with our experience or the result. For a reasonable fee, the attorney attended Court, and was able to plead down to a lesser offense. Moreover, the staff was extremely helpful, staying in touch via email and phone calls to keep us apprised of the progress of the case. We were able to speak to the attorney, Mr. Remington, directly. And when the case was concluded, we got full information via email, and directions as to how to pay the much reduced fine in court costs online. That kind of communication was both reassuring and helpful throughout the process. My advice is, don’t drive through Emporia, Virginia if you can help it! But, if you do run into any problems, I highly recommend contacting Riley & Wells to see you through it.
