We are from out of state were wholly reliant upon Mr. Vinson's expertise. Mr. Vinson laid out a very clear plan of action for my son to take that resulted in his charges to be reduced to the lowest possible. We are very grateful for all the assistance Mr. Vinson and the team at Riley & Wells provided for our family.

Me. Vinson is the best attorney one could ever have. He’s not arrogant or have any negative attitudes. He’s straight forward in so many ways. My husband and I share the same about Mr. Vinson. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs help as he did me. He won my case and I can’t express how happy I am! Thanks to everyone at Riley & Wells

Mr. Vinson was kind, courteous, and patient. With his representation, he got me down to a much lesser penalty than what the state of Virginia charged me with. The price for his services was fair, and his staff (Ms. Hannah Bowery), were all kind. I highly recommend this firm for any traffic violations in the local vicinity.

Mr. Vinson did an excellent job in acquiring me the best-case scenario for my second-time offense. Would highly recommend Riley & Wells to anyone and everyone!

The attorney who represented me, Mr. Vinson, was very professional. Another attorney from another firm that I had a legal consult with seemed a bit judgmental and very unprofessional. Mr. Vinson showed up to court on my behalf and was able to get my case dismissed without points. I would definitely recommend him and the firm in general.

I just would like to say Thank you guys for helping me out an extremely difficult situation. From the first phone call til now, the staff and Mr. Vinson has been nothing but extreme professionalism. Mr. Vinson took on my case and produced extremely favorable results. Best outcome possible considering my case and what I stood to lose at that time. There is nothing like a partner representing you and a firm behind him. Spoke volumes and the hard work showed. This is the firm you need. Price is reasonable. Outcome is favorable. Once again, Thank you guys for your representation and hard work. Truly appreciated.
