Sussex Reckless Driving 106 mph & Aggressive Driving DISMISSED

Sussex County Reckless Driving & Aggressive Driving DISMISSED

In this case, our reckless driving lawyers represented a client from Florida. Our client was travelling thru Sussex VA on Interstate 95. The Virginia State Trooper that confronted our client made some serious accusations. The State Trooper alleged that our client was traveling 106 miles per hour on the Interstate. Additionally, an aggressive driving allegation was also made. Both serious offenses in Virginia. Our client was a decorated soldier in the Marine Corp. A conviction and/or incarceration would have jeopardized his career. Our lawyers presented an overwhelming amount of evidence and argument. We were able to protect our client. We convinced the Court to dismissed both cases due to procedural problems. The Judge granted our motion to dismiss.

Sussex Reckless Driving Speeding 92/70 mph REDUCED

Sussex County Reckless Driving 92 mph REDUCED

In this case, our attorneys represented a client from Pennsylvania. A Sussex VA Deputy Sheriff was operating R.A.D.A.R. along Interstate 95. The Deputy Sheriff observed our client speeding. The Deputy Sheriff claimed that our client was driving 92 miles per hour in a 70 mile per hour zone. Our client thought she received a minor traffic ticket. It was not until later that the client realized that she had been charged with a criminal misdemeanor. In Pennsylvania, this event would have only triggered a simple speeding ticket. Our client was in shock. Our lawyers were able to convince the Judge to reduce the misdemeanor reckless driving allegation to a minor infraction.

Ed Riley listened to details about my case, clearly explained to me my options and was up front about what realistic expectations I could have. My traffic violation was dismissed and I only had to go to traffic court, which was the best scenario I could have hoped for in my case. Mr. Riley appeared to have knowledge of and good rapport with the judges in this area. Highly recommended!

I highly recommend this law firm. I got a reckless driving ticket in Dinwiddie County for driving 90 in a 70 mph zone (I was extremely late for work). Cody Remington got it knocked down to a simple speeding infraction, saving me a ton of money in insurance costs and avoiding putting any points on my license. Worth every penny! Sincerely thank you again guys!

It was a good experience being represented by Riley & Wells for a reckless driving speeding ticket in Virginia. Mr. Wells was very well prepared and on point with all the possibilities of the outcome of the trial. The result was very much relief for me, with charges being reduced to normal speeding ticket. Rest assured, this firm cares about their clients and their attorneys prepare well for the courtroom. Excellent communication and response from legal assistant Kristin as well. Would recommend this to anyone needing help with speeding or reckless driving speeding tickets in VA.

Was involved in a commercial vehicle accident back in March and although it was a major accident I was only cited with a lane violation. I contacted Riley and wells and received a prompt, professional call from Cody Remington. We discussed the accident and he presented his case. The fee was fair and and I did not need to be present for the trial (live out of state) I was found not guilty and I could not be happier. I would highly recommend Cody Remington as council again. Thank you, sean taylor

I was charged with reckless driving - speeding 91/70 mph zone. Riley & Wells was able to get the speeding ticket reduced to defective equipment, which is a no points, non-moving, minor traffic infraction. I also did not have to show up to court as Cody represented me there.At the firm I worked with Cody and Kristin, they turned a bad situation into a good one. They were caring, friendly, and responsive to my concerns. I want to thank you, and everyone else in helping me to get the best possible outcome with my case.I highly recommend Riley & Wells, because they're the best!

Contacted Riley & Wells law firm because of a reckless driving ticket and was facing misdemeanor charges. Riley & Wells law firm was very helpful with on point communication. They represented me in court due to being from out of state. Court results were very successful with minimal fines, ticket reduced to speeding 1-9 over and only 3 points on my license. I would highly recommend this firm should you find yourself needing an attorney.

I had an awesome experience with Riley & Wells! I got a reckless driving charge in VA while on vacation & decided to get an attorney to go to court for me. I had no experience with court or how getting an attorney works, but their team made it so easy & gave me clear information as to what to expect & what they will be doing for me. Mr Wells got the misdemeanor charge down to the lowest offense- a non-moving infraction of defective equipment. That means no record & no points for me! $750 flat fee for his representation, plus $266 for the fine & court fees. I’d say that’s a pretty good deal considering what that reckless driving charge would cost me in fines & the spike in my insurance costs- plus the time off work & gas it would’ve cost me to drive back to VA to appear in court myself. Both Mr Wells & his assistant Kristin are great!

I was represented by Mr. Wells for a reckless driving charge of 86/65 in Prince George County. In our initial discussion over the phone everything was explained clearly regarding the charge and that he would go to work immediately on the case if hired. His confidence of getting the charge dismissed or reduced to a lower infraction helped remove the feeling of an anvil hanging over my head. In addition the concern that I would have to drive 2 hours to get to an unfamiliar court across the state during a pandemic was also put at ease has he would attend on my behalf.From this point his wonderful secretary contacted me and requested a copy of the driving record and advised me if anything else is needed they would be in touch. Few days before court I checked-in with Mr. Wells one last time and nothing else was needed on my case since the driving record was a good one in addition to my behavior with the officer. Result…he got the case reduced to a minor infraction. He is an excellent attorney and could not thank him enough, I highly recommend his firm!

I worked with Mr. Dean and not only were all my questions answered but they were very professional. I had gotten a reckless driving charge in New Kent County and Mr. Dean worked his hardest to get it dropped to a minor traffic infraction. I was 77 in a 55, 22 over and ended up with a speeding ticket instead of a reckless and also only had to take a drivers improvement course which Mr. Dean and His paralegal had given me the link to. Thank you guys so much for your hard work. My life, Career, and Insurance thank you greatly.
