Virginia Speeding Ticket Defense Lawyer

Virginia ranks as one of the toughest states on speeders. A Virginia Speeding Ticket is probably the most common type of traffic violation in Virginia. Consult a lawyer before you attempt to plead guilty. NOTE: Receiving a Speeding Ticket is NOT a conviction. A conviction can negatively affect you in many ways. Excessive fines. Assessment of moving violation demerit points to your driving record. Loss of driving privileges depending on speed and prior convictions. Increased insurance premiums.

CAUTION: A speeding ticket conviction will on average increase the automobile insurance premium by 20%-30% EACH YEAR, according to a study conducted by Insurance.com

Virginia Reckless Driving Speeding Attorneys

The most serious type of speeding case in Virginia is the Reckless Driving Speeding Ticket pursuant to Va. Code 46.2-862. Reckless driving in Virginia is a criminal misdemeanor violation. A driver is guilty of reckless driving for travelling at a speed of 20 miles per hour or more above the speed limit OR in excess of 80 miles per hour regardless of the speed limit. There are many places on Virginia interstates where the speed limit is 70 miles per hour. Thus, driving 11 mph over the 70 mph speed limit can trigger this harsh law.

Excellent service. 750$ to retain. Did not have to show up to court. Got my Reckless Driving charge reduced (was doing 88mph in a 70mph on I-95 North) to a Minor Traffic Infraction, Speeding 1 - 9 mph over the limit. 261$ for the ticket +30$ in Court Costs. Issue was resolved promptly and effectively. Service desk was helpful and polite when I called in for different updates and communication. Would highly recommend and use again myself.

Received excellent service from Riley & Wells and they were able to drop the charges to a lower level that did not impact my driving record or insurance. The circumstances were unfortunate but I am glad I had this team representing me.

Mitch Wells was able to maintain my "perfect" driving record by working with the judge/prosecutor to modify an 84/70 ticket to a defective equipment judgement. Happy with the outcome, and using my cruise control a lot more! :-) The back office support (Kristin) was on top of things in preparation for the case... so very happy with the interactions!

I came to Riley & Wells somewhat last minute about my reckless driving ticket (86/65) and they exceeded my expectations, even after reading all these great reviews. Edward Riley and Lisa Brannan took amazing care of me and my case. As long as I take a driving class my case will be completely dismissed. No fines, no loss of license, and I avoided a moving violation with 0 points on my record. I didn't even have to attend court and the price was beyond fair. Thanks guys!!!

I got a speeding ticket in Chesterfield county. Joe Dean, from Riley & Wells, handled my case excellently. They only needed a few phone calls to work out all the details. Mr. Dean attended court on my behalf, so I didn't need to take time off work. I am very satisfied with the outcome of my case, and the online driving school Mr. Dean recommended was affordable and easy to use. The assistant I spoke with most frequently, Heather, was knowledgeable and able to answer all of my questions.

I got a reckless driving charge in Emporia Virginia and received many letters from lawyers but not from Riley and Wells! I went with them because of the reviews on their website. So incredibly professional and the outcome was amazing! Thank-you to a fantastic team!!!!!

I had court for 118mph in a 55 reckless driving on HENRICO. I grew up in the system one charge after the other, I've had a lot of lawyers and been tried many times. I have never in my entire life seen somebody work his magic like that and get a ridiculously awesome outcome on a definite jail sentence. Im not even playing this dude was making moves in court and got me a $750 fine for a charge that carries almost definite jailtime and liscense suspension. This dude is worth every penny.

Hands down the best experience one could possibly hope for. Mr. Wells got my case dismissed and was able to talk me through it. I also was in touch the whole time with his fantastic assistant Kristin. Worth every penny.

Coming from out of state I was weary about who I would find to represent me in a situation I did not expect to find myself. The 'reckless driving' charge that I received for speeding in VA was a shock to me but Riley & Wells have seen it many times. My lawyer was clear about the services he could provide and delivered on them all. The communication was precise easy to understand.

Got my 84 in a 70 case dismissed! Well worth the cost to avoid the long term cost of increased insurance rates! Would recomend!

In January 2020 I was issued a reckless driving ticket for a incident that I was involved in. I am a CDL driver and need a good driving record for my job and this ticket could take all of that away. I knew I needed to find a attorney that was well respected to help me. I contacted a friend who works in the court system, a person I hold in high regards and asked him for a recommendation. He suggested Mr Wells at Riley & Wells. I contacted Mr. Wells and did a phone interview with him. He was very aware how serious a this charge is to a my CDL and for my job. I also explained employer that had suspended from driving until my case had been resolved. At the time we talked my court date was two months way. Mr. Wells suggested that we have the court date moved up as soon as possible. Two weeks after my initial contact with Mr. Wells I received a phone call from him. I thought he was calling to further discuss my case and about moving it forward. Instead he called to tell me that he had already discussed the matter with the courts and the commonwealth's attorney and that my case had been dismissed. He said that the incident would not show up on my driving record and to quote Mr Wells " it's like it never happened". The next day when I walked into work , they told me my driving privileges had been reinstated. If you are looking for a attorney that understands how important driving is to your lively hood and can make things happen. You need to call Mr. Wells.

I was personally a bit skeptical hiring a lawyer for a reckless driving charge would be worth it. Now I have a speeding ticket instead. The staff is on top of everything and everyone is pleasant to work with.

Great experience. They were able to drop my misdemeanor charge down to faulty equipment. They were very helpful considering that I lived out of state. Mr. Remington’s staff was friendly and helpful and explained everything ever step of the way. Would 100% recommend to anyone needing a traffic court lawyer.

Mitch Wells and his Assistant, Kristin, were wonderful to work with. I am from out of state and was traveling through Virginia when I was pulled going 84/70. Mr. Wells was able to convince the judge to reduce my charge to defective equipment. Mr. Wells provided me with peace of mind and confidence that they would take care of me and followed through! The fee is not bad either compared to some of the other offices I looked into. I would highly recommend this group to anyone looking for help with a speeding ticket. A+++
