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.

I recently used Riley & Wells for a court case that I was extremely nervous about and I can truly say that I am more than satisfied with my outcome. I am an out of state resident and was unaware of the penalties for reckless driving in the state of Virginia. The team at Riley & Wells communicated with me throughout the process and kept me updated with my case. I ended up getting all charges dropped. And only had to pay minor court fees. I was extremely happy and would recommend this law firm to anyone who wants a positive outcome to their case.

The entire team was very responsive and professional. Mr. Wells took the time to explain to me all potential outcomes regarding my daughters reckless violation. His attentiveness put my mind at ease and the positive outcome was exactly how he predicted it would be. I was referred to his office by another attorney that was not willing to give a consultation even though they advertised that they offered it as a free service. Highly recommend this firm.

I got charged with a wreck less driving ticket, I was very nervous about this because I have a class A cdl drivers license. My driving record was already horrible, So I retained MR. Wells. who was referred to me by a friend! I couldn’t have been more pleased with him and his staff, they were great at communicating and very professional; not to mention My charge was dropped to defective equipment!!! I would recommend anyone who finds themselves in trouble with the law to give Riley&Wells a call they definitely know what they are doing!

I usually don't write reviews but when searching for a lawyer to represent me in court I heavily relied on Google reviews for guidance. I was given a ticket for Reckless Driving, which is a criminal misdemeanor in VA, it's a big deal, so I didn't want to take any chances by going with the most "affordable" lawyer who didn't have as many reviews on google. I had a great experience with Riley and Wells. Communication was great, via phone and email. Cody, who represented me was able to come to an agreement with the judge who lowered my charge to a non-moving violation for defective equipment and no points to my license. Very satisfied with their service, highly recommend to others who need representation in court for speeding tickets!

I had many questions and fears over my case that seemed I'd be lucky if I keep my license and not be in jail. Good instructions, and representation helped dismiss the case. Considering my behaviour, the respectful friendly cop, and an amazing Judge... I'll never speed again. And big Kudos to law inforcement and legal bodies we have in USA. no other country has this... Believe me I've lived everywhere.

By far, the most professional, kind and reputable law firm I have ever had to hire. Simple phone call and free consultation led me to victory on my case with attorney Mr. Wells. I was out of state, he represented on behalf of me. I was super nervous and worried. Next thing I get a phone call and an email saying the case have been dismissed. I found this firm on Google which had impressive reviews and overall great reputation after doing some research. The entire staff are very friendly, especially Kristin Carrington who helped me over the phone. They even gave me couple days to make the payment, unlike many other firms won’t work with you until you make the payment. Very flexible. They care about you more than your money. I have never been treated like this with any other law firms. I’m lazy when it comes to writing reviews, but as you see it’s getting much of your time, I just can’t thank them enough so I would do my best to spread the word and do anything to recommend this to everyone else, so they may be as happy as I am with the outcome of their service. Highly recommend.

I was headed up north with my family early one morning. I was minding my own business and keeping up with the flow of traffic while cruising through Virginia. Then all of the sudden BAM, speed trap or shall I say money grab. You can tell it is a money grab because I know I have a clean record and the officer didn't even speak with me to see if a warning can be given. X2 in a x0. Got to my final destination and begin look at possible repercussions. Virginia reports to North Carolina so I can't take a chance with it hitting my insurance so I begin my Google Search. I see numerous excellent reviews for Riley and Wells. I give them a call and they take my information. The next day I receive a call back with my options. Mr.Remington was knew what he was doing as well as the judges in the court I was due to appear in. His confidence was impressive which made me feel comfortable. His paralegal Jana then took over communications and was there for me through out the entire process. Her responsiveness was quick which left me with no doubts. Court day hits and I receive the great news, my ticket was reduced to a defective equipment ticket. Could not be any happier with the outcome. If you can caught and need help I highly and strongly suggest Riley and Wells Attorneys-At-Law.

Received a reckless driving charge and they we're able to get it waived with the exception that I attend driving school (which I did online). They also represented me in court and I didn't ever have to step foot on the premises. Very little hassle and worth the price!
