I contacted Riley & Wells within days of my offense and was able to retain Mr. Vinson for representation after just a few minutes on the phone.

Andrew Dyson
Great representation! I was the unfortunate recipient of a reckless driving ticket, 89/70, on I64 in New Kent I contacted Riley & Wells for legal representation. Attorney, Daniel Vinson handled my case. The initial consultation went very well. He put my mind at ease and clearly and confidently explained his approach. When my court date arrived, he was able to get the charge reduced to speeding which is a far minor offense. From my initial call to Riley and Wells to the end result, I was immensely impressed by their professionalism and highly compitant service. They are everything that a law firm should be.

Kimberly Keating
Because of Mr. Vinson (plus volunteer hours & driver improvement class), I can move forward without the burden of a reckless driving (96 in a 70) and failure to appear charge hanging over me, and will always be thankful for the difference he made in my life. Mr. Vinson was able to reduce my reckless driving to a speeding and the failure to appear was dismissed. This outcome means the world to me, and I truly appreciate all the effort Mr. Vinson put into ensuring the best possible result.
