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!

Couldn't be happier with my Riley & Wells Team! From start to finish everyone that I had communications with was kind, professional, quick to respond and left no details out. They took care of my misdemeanor/reckless driving ticket without me having to even be there. I hope to NOT have to use them again, but if you need an attorney this is the Team to turn to! Thank you Jana & Cody for EVERYTHING!!

Matthew Leister

18:06 10 Oct 20

I was alleged of 92 in 70 criminal reckless driving. Mr. Wells defended my case in Emporia and got it ruled as defective equipment just like he told me he would attempt to do. There are definitely cheaper options, but I live out of state about 7 hours from Emporia and I value my time heavily so I didn't mind paying for him to show up for me to defend the case with his great track record. Would recommend.

I used Riley and Wells for two charges against me in the state of VA. Every employee I talked to was always very responsive and courteous. I never had an issue getting a response via phone or email. From my initial conversation with Mr. Wells, he was able to give me a good sense of the outcome he would expect, he was very transparent. I would recommend Riley & Wells, especially if you are out of state and cannot make the trial in person, their communication and responsiveness made the entire process easier.
