Sussex County Virginia Trial Lawyer Client Reviews

$I was heading home to NY from a funeral in NC and was pulled over in VA. The trooper informed me that it's reckless driving in VA going over 80 mph. This is the first time I was pulled over for such a fractious situation. As you might imagine I was saddened by the loss of a family member only to encounter this on my way back. Little did I know that a reckless driving offense in VA carries a misdemeanor charge. Panicked, I hired Mitch through a colleague at work who happened to use his services. I did not regret it at all. Office staff and Mr. Wells himself were true professionals and eased my nerves at a delicate time. Please use this gentlemen for your needs though I hope my experience will teach others to slow down. It's not worth it. When i did the math at the speed limit versus speeding, it only saved me an hour. My advise? Slow down.$

Sussex County Virginia DUI DISMISSED

Sussex County DUI DISMISSED

Our Sussex County Traffic Lawyers represented a client who was accused of drunk driving while driving on Route 460 by a Virginia State Trooper. After extensive investigation and due diligence, we determined that the prosecution had serious issues with the case that prevented them from possibly being able to prove the allegation beyond a reasonable doubt, which the law requires according to the U.S. Constitution. After multiple appearances before the Court, and negotiations with the prosecution, we were eventually able to successfully convince the Judge to DISMISS the case.

Coming from out of state the whole process was unfamiliar and intimidating. Before my court date I had several phone conversations with Mitch who made me feel comfortable and gave me a lot of information. After discussing some reasonable outcomes we exceeded those expectations with his expertise. He was very helpful and I'd recommend him to anyone!

The easiest process especially since I live out of state! I called two weeks before my court date and was able to email all of my documents, payment over the phone and my attorney (Cody Remington) was able to appear on my behalf without my presence and was able to get my reckless driving by speeding ticket reduced down to defective device. That means no points on my driving record! Very pleased with service!

To begin, I strongly recommend Riley and Wells. I hired Mr. Joseph Dean as my attorney to represent me in court as I was facing a misdemeanor assault and battery charge. Not only did he do an excellent job of keeping me informed since I was completely bewildered and overwhelmed, not to mention sinking into an utterly emotional wreck, he resolved my case quickly and easily while breaking everything down so I could easily understand what was going on. I have been in communication with his most capable and efficient paralegal, Ms. Kara Clark. She also kept me calm and informed, handling every single question with complete grace in a timely manner. As Mr. Dean had an emergency pop up the day of my trial, he had Mr. Douglas White represent me. Mr. White talked me through everything and handled the day's event wonderfully. All three associates handled my questions, concerns, and uncertainty with a degree of compassion and proficiency one would expect from the very best. I would absolutely recommend Riley and Well's and will not hesitate to call upon their professional services if I need them again. They will ensure you get the best possible service.

I retained Mr. Wells for my speeding ticket in Henrico 51/35mph and I couldn't be more pleased with my outcome!! All I have to do is driving school and my charge will be dismissed! I want to take this time to truly thank Mr. Wells and his amazing team (his paralegal Erin was fantastic) for working with me! I was in full panic before speaking with him and his team because my driving history wasn't the best but they made me feel 100% better about my situation. I HIGHLY recommend Riley and Wells if you are in any type of pickle!

After getting the legendary reckless driving ticket near Emporia, I contacted Riley& Wells after returning from my trip to SC. They got the job done, I don't regret the decision, trust is the issue.Virginia legal advertising is designed to frighten and upset people. I must have received two dozen letters from attorneys, with offers to represent me. I can only say that the outcome with R&W was as good as one can expect, but everyone has to make their own choice of attorneys.

Riley & Wells and especially my attorney Mr Remmington are a terrific group. I am particularly fond of how no nonsense and to the point they are.I had a speeding ticket that would have otherwise landed me with a huge fine, points on my license and a misdemeanor on my record. Mr Remmington resolved my case with the best possible outcome. I ended up with only a fine and a non moving violation for defective equipment.Thanks guys.

I contacted them on very short notice after deciding that I probably didn't want to fight my reckless driving ticket on my own. They were very quick to help me. The girls in the office were responsive and helpful with getting all my information and follow up after court and Mr. Remington was quick and helpful as well. Thank you for the help team, you saved me time and frustration I appreciate it more than you know!

They were quick and easy, no nonsense. They told what they needed me to provide them, I did that, and they did their job. It was that simple as it should be. It accomplished the job and now I won't owe hundreds of dollars in extra insurance fees over the next few years.

So I am writing this review post two days from my appearance in traffic court. My name is Mike and I am in the Navy on Active Duty. Was on transfer leave moving from California to Quantico, VA. I was traveling from Jacksonville, North Carolina up to New Jersey and just after crossing into Virginia I had pulled over into the left lane to pass a vehicle in front of me and while in the process of doing this, I was pulled over by a Virginia Police Officer. I was cited for reckless driving with 82mph in a 70mph zone. I was in shock and didn’t know what to do, as this was the first time for me. I went home and proceeded to google for lawyers in the area and what the consequences were for a reckless driving ticket in Virginia. I found Riley & Wells and began to read through reviews to see how they were. I don’t think I read a single bad review from past clients. They were it. Following my first phone call with their staff, I immediately felt my nerves at ease. They were professional, knowledgeable, and confident that they could help me out of the rough spot I was in. They kept in touch with me every step of the way throughout piecing their strategy together. The day of trial came and the staff was phenomenal. I arrived in Emporia, VA for court and a Mr. Cody Remington was already at the courthouse and laying the groundwork. He brought me up to speak to the judge when it was time for my case and after about 5 minutes of general questions, Mr. Remington managed to get all charges dismissed after I paid $209 in court costs and fines. If things didn’t go in my favor that day, I would have felt the repercussions of my own carelessness for years to come. Riley & Wells were worth every single penny and I would give my utmost recommendation to anyone needing legal assistance with a traffic ticket in Southern Virginia.

I received a speeding ticket for what the state of Va calls reckless driving, I was clocked doing 84 in a 70MPH. I was anxious to just pay it but I would be charged with a misdemeanor. I read the reviews on the Riley & Wells and I made the decision to give them a call. I didn't have to appear in court and the team worked to get my ticket down to moving violations. I do not recommend speeding but if you happen to get pulled over do yourself the favor call Riley and Wells. Don't try to fight it alone. They have an amazing team.

The best lawyers I've worked with! They knew exactly what to do and kept me updated throughout the process. Dismissed one of my tickets and was found not guilty for 80 in a 70. I only had to pay court cost as well! Highly recommend them for your ticket needs!!
