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.

Riley and Wells were amazing representation for my case. They alleviated any of my stress and were able to reduce my charge and get it entirely dismissed. I was advised to do a few things such as community service and get a few character references. I found it helpful to call and talk to the lawyer representing me to reiterate my understanding of what I can do and what needs to be done and then act on that. Would highly recommend them!

I had a fantastic experience working with Riley & Wells. They explained the process, handled everything for me, and went to court on my behalf. After their retainer, I only paid court costs and there were no points on my record. I couldn't ask for a better result! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

I reached to Riley & Wells for the speeding charge where finally the case was reduced to defective equipment. I went with this firm after reviewing many firms and the result was good - no points. I recommend the firm if you receive a traffic violation in the state of Virginia.

I am a Professional Truck Driver and I received a 70 in a 55 in Petersburg, VA and Riley & Wells handled the process. They were able to get it knocked down to a defective speedometer which was no points on my Commercial Drivers License nor does it go against my insurance so it my insurance rates would not be impacted. I was very pleased at the outcome and well worth the investment in order to protect my Commercial Drivers License and prevent an increase in my insurance policies. I would highly recommend this firm to anyone who has a moving traffic violation, specially those that have a Commercial Drivers License in order to protect their livelihood. Thank you again Riley & Wells for the great results.

Was charged with reckless driving that could have cost me up to $2500, a criminal record, and an insurance nightmare. I was represented by Mitchell Wells for a fee of $750 and had a very favorable outcome. I didn't have to be present thankfully because I live in Quebec Canada ,and the end result was a non moving, non criminal violation with zero demerit points and a small fine of $165 plus $66 court cost. Thank you Mr. Wells and staff for your professional services and saving me from a lifetime of hardship.

My son received a speeding ticket (72 in a 55) in Brunswick County -- we live in North Carolina. I searched online and found Riley & Wells to have top reviews. I knew that Virginia had very strict traffic laws. Without question, I felt secure in my choice. I spoke to Cody and he said he would do whatever he could to reduce the charges. Riley & Wells went above and beyond and got the best possible outcome, short of getting the matter dismissed. No insurance points! You will not be disappointed if you choose this firm. Their team made me feel like they cared about me and getting the best possible result. Thank you Riley & Wells for making this as painless as possible.

I received a reckless driving citation in Prince George County. I contacted a handful of firms, all of which never gave me a straight answer about the whole process, including fees. I then contacted Riley and Wells. I was able to speak to Cody Remington on the spot. He was very up front assured me that with my driving record and my occupation he could most likely come to a favorable resolution. Additionally, the flat fee was more reasonable than any of the other firms I spoke with. In the end the violation was reduced to improper driving and I had a minor fine and court fees. The best part was that it was NOT a misdemeanor and won’t negatively impact my insurance or driving record. Thank you Cody Remington and Riley and Wells for your impeccable service and attention to detail.

If you're looking for Traffic Lawyers, this is the place you want to start. I got a reckless driving (76/55) ticket when driving in Virginia from an out of state trip. Contacted Riley & Wells, and their team guided me on what's the best and worst outcome that will happen and everything worked out at the end. I didn't need to show up and my Ticket was reduced to something understandable. Again thank you again.

I am very skeptical concerning lawyers and the promises they make. In this case, my expectations were exceeded by Riley & Wells. They did not waste my time. They gave me their game plan and did exactly what they said they were going to do. I am very happy with the outcome and I wouldn't hesitate to use them in the future.sf

I had a great experience working with Riley & Wells! Mr. Remington communicated with me as to the plan beforehand, and the office staff's communications were clear and professional. The outcome for the case was good, and I would recommend this firm to anyone needing legal assistance in Virginia.

Mr. Wells was a Godsend. He is Friendly, Patient, Honest and Understanding. I questioned him, as I was skeptical and rather than just answering my questions he substantiated what he had told me. He was honest and a man of his word! I cannot more highly recommend this company to anyone who gets a ticket in his area of Virginia. I keep him on speed dial. By the way his staff is a reflection of their boss, all very friendly, quick to help and very patient. I hope never to have another ticket in Viginia but if I do I have the number of the best representation available. By the way I called other attorneys who sent me solicitations and found them to be lacking, charging less and providing less service and only in it for the quick Dollar. In this case you truly get what you pay for. If you are in need you will find no better advocate then Mitch Wells!
