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.

Doug from Riley & Wells represented me for a speeding ticket. He was very clear about the options and possible outcomes. Our conversation went quickly and I had to do very little. He got the results I was hoping for.

RILEY & WELLS YOU ARE THE BEST!I received a reckless driving ticket in VA and the attorney was able to get the ticket dismissed (I had to pay fees/court cost ). There are no points on my license, my license did not get revoked, and most of all my insurance did not go up. THANKS R&W firm

My husband recently was charged with a very serious traffic offense in Virginia (we are MD residents)...and had to appear in court (almost 3 hours from our home). We contacted our lawyer in MD who referred us to Riley & Wells. After just one phone call and one email, we were set for them to represent him. They told us what to expect, what they thought they could do and what they thought the outcome would be. Court was yesterday - they did MORE than they originally said, the outcome was INCREDIBLY better than they had initially thought, we are THRILLED. This situation could have seriously impacted our lives and within a little over a month, it is done, settled and behind us. THANK YOU! And, I must add, the legal assistant we dealt with, Jana, was about the most efficient person I have 'met' in a long time. Her responses were quick, and accurate every time....

I was very scared when I saw that what I thought was a regular speeding ticket on my way home through Virginia, was in fact a Misdemeanor reckless driving ticket. I immediately looked for a reputable firm local to that county and Riley & Wells was at the top of the list. They were kind and helpful and explained everything that would happen. I was very pleased with the outcome of my case, and would recommend them to anyone who was in my position. Thanks :)

When you get your first speed ticket, those who hurry to write you to tell you their experience in the field are not usually the right ones for you. I got my first ticket when I was driving to DC from Raleigh NC to resolve an issue . The officer pulled me out for reckless driving (82/70). I received multiple letters from autornies when I got back. I check online for most rated and find Riley and wells. Thier fees are reasonable. Remington did a wonderful job. Finally I only had to pay the fine and the court fees. I recommend Remington if anyone has the same problem.

Cody Remington was an excellent attorney that provided the best possible outcome and I highly recommend him. I am an out of state resident that was caught in, what is considered in almost every other state, a speed trap. A disreputable city that controls a one mile stretch of highway uses it as a revenue source for their city. Cody was able to provide me with an outcome that didn’t put a moving violation on my record but this crooked city still got their money. This officer looks for out of state plates and snags people who are going a few miles an hour over the speed limit on an empty highway where nobody would expect to be ticketed. I’m happy about Cody’s performance but I think the state of Virginia needs to look at this unconstitutional speed trap.

I was ticketed in Sussex County at 57/35. I was represented by Mr. Joe Dean in court and he managed to get my charge dismissed. I could not have been more pleased with the outcome. Mr. Deans legal assistant Ms.Niki Flores was top notch as well. She responded to all my questions promptly and helped set my mind at ease. Thank You!

Was out of town on vacation and got a skeptical reckless driving charge. I was in disbelief and stressed beyond measure. I reached out and called Riley & Wells immediately for assistance. I told them the situation and he confidently said "you have nothing to worry about". The end result was 'not guilty' of the initial charge and it was dropped to a lesser non-moving violation with no points deducted on my license. I am greatly pleased by the outcome.

Thanks to Ed Riley and his excellent staff at Riley & Wells, my traffic violation was greatly reduced. They gave me good advice from the very beginning and shepherded me through the whole process. Everyone from Mr. Riley to his paralegals, was professional, friendly, and highly competent. I strongly recommend Ed and his team when you need a lawyer for traffic related offenses. Don't take chances with your driving record, get the professional assistance you need for a good outcome.

I contacted Riley and Wells for an underage drinking charge, and other complications. We are extremely happy with the outcome, as well as the treatment we received from Mr. Wells and his office staff. In every instance they were efficient and professional, responded to phone calls in a timely manner, and treated us with kindness. Would recommend without reservation

I hired Cody Remington at this firm to handle a speeding ticket that I got in Virginia while driving north. He and his firm got me an excellent result (charge reduced to mere violation, no points, minor fine). They were responsive, good communicators, very professional, and they delivered! As a retired attorney I can say this is not always what you get when dealing with lawyers. I highly recommend Mr. Remington and Riley & Wells.

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!

I really appreciate the handling of my overspeeding case by Riley & Wells. Although they charged me quite high compared to what few others had quoted, I had my peace regained with the case closed very neatly by my attorney. Thanks a lot, Mr. Remington for the same. Also thanks a lot to Jana for the reassurance during the process!
