*Realized when I logged into review them again that I never posted officially from 2018*So I am writing this review post two days from my appearance in traffic court. My name is Mike and I am in the Navy on Active Duty. Was on transfer leave moving from California to Quantico, VA.I was traveling from Jacksonville, North Carolina up to New Jersey and just after crossing into Virginia I had pulled over into the left lane to pass a vehicle in front of me and while in the process of doing this, I was pulled over by a Virginia Police Officer. I was cited for reckless driving with 82mph in a 70mph zone. I was in shock and didn’t know what to do, as this was the first time for me.I went home and proceeded to google for lawyers in the area and what the consequences were for a reckless driving ticket in Virginia. I found Riley & Wells and began to read through reviews to see how they were. I don’t think I read a single bad review from past clients. They were it.Following my first phone call with their staff, I immediately felt my nerves at ease. They were professional, knowledgeable, and confident that they could help me out of the rough spot I was in. They kept in touch with me every step of the way throughout piecing their strategy together.The day of trial came and the staff was phenomenal. I arrived in Emporia, VA for court and a Mr. Cody Remington was already at the courthouse and laying the groundwork. He brought me up to speak to the judge when it was time for my case and after about 5 minutes of general questions, Mr. Remington managed to get all charges dismissed after I paid $209 in court costs and fines.If things didn’t go in my favor that day, I would have felt the repercussions of my own carelessness for years to come. Riley & Wells were worth every single penny and I would give my utmost recommendation to anyone needing legal assistance with a traffic ticket in Southern Virginia.

Great customer and professional services! We hired them as my husband got a traffic ticket in Dinwiddie County on our way back home from vacation. They were able to bring the charges reduced from reckless driving to defective equipment! We would definitely recommend their services!

I could not be happier with the legal representation I received from Riley and Wells. I received a speeding ticket for 85 in a 70mph zone (I-95). Cody Remington was my attorney and he and his office communicated with me clearly from the outset. They outlined what they needed from me and the process was very smooth. I didn’t even have to appear in court in person, which was great. I live 4 hours away in MD. My case was dismissed, no moving violation, no points. I was surprised and thrilled! Thank you so much Mr. Remington and the team at Riley and Wells.

I highly recommend Riley &Wells. Ed Riley represented my son on very serious charges that my son was wrongly accused. Ed worked ver hard on this case and was determined to get great results.Mr. Riley answered all my questions and explained the process to us clearly. Their office staff were very helpful and always answered our concerns we had regarding the process. I definitely recommend this Firm.

If you’re in need of legal assistance then look no further. I got caught going well over (more than double 😅) the posted speed limit and the team at Riley & Wells really helped me out. They quickly had me in communication with one of their attorneys whom patiently provided everything I needed to know as a first time offender. I really like how friendly the staff treated me throughout the entire process as I reached out to them several times before my case and each time they were very helpful. The outcome of every case will definitely be different but through the help of the team at Riley & Wells the results of my case were better than I expected (case dismissed).

I needed legal help after passing through Virginia in Sussex County and getting a ticket. I contacted Riley and wells because of their excellent reviews on line. I am so glad I did. The reviews were absolutely correct. Cody Remington put me at ease on our first phone call. He and his associates handled everything. All I had to do was worry. But I got such a favorable result because of them. So I worried a bit for nothing. Thank you Cody and your team.

Mr. Remington was a huge help for me. I was pulled over for speeding by state police......... in Prince George, VA. I was late for my Veterans affairs appointment because the VA set my appointment two hours away from me (of course). My court date was April 14 and Mr. Remington got everything dismissed. I wanted to attend court but got sick right before. I currently live in NJ and Mr. Remington handled everything for me. I highly recommend Riley and Wells, especially Mr. Remington.

Great Law firm, Riley and wells to me is the best Lawyer services in the state. Mr.Riley was able to get 3 brandishing misdemeanor charges dismissed completely off my record I couldn't be more happy.

I spoke with Cody Remington, he explained the process and informed me of the parties that would be involved . I followed his instructions and communicated all my concerns with him. My case was settled with the utmost professionalism and I couldn’t be happier with the results.

I was very happy with the outcome. There were a lot of twists around my son’s case of a stolen cell phone and it was very confusing if you didn’t know all the people involved. I wasn’t sure if my case had been reviewed thoroughly but once I brought this to Mr. Riley’s attention and explained the whole situation, I feel that he believed us and did a great job relaying this to the commonwealth attorney and to the judge. They chose not to prosecute my son’s case due to lack of evidence against him and evidence that pointed to another person that actually stole the phone. So we are happy with and relieved about the outcome and are able to move on with our lives.

I unfortunately received a speeding ticket in Dinwiddie County on route 460 on my way home from work. I was going 82 mph on route 460, 60 mph speed limit. I don’t live in VA, from NV, and had no idea how terrible VA traffic laws are compared to NV. Plus, the state troopers don’t give warnings. Found out the hard way if driving over 20 the speed limit and or going over 80 mph is a misdemeanor, reckless driving. Yikes! My last speeding ticket was over 20 years ago. After reading more about VA misdemeanor reckless driving law and what this can do to my insurance and the high fines, I knew I needed an attorney. Hired Riley and Wells because of the 5 star reviews. . Kristin took all my information and Mr. Wells called me back. Very professional. After talking to Mr. Wells, I felt very relieved and more at ease with my possible outcomes. With my excellent representation in court by Mr. Wells, I was found not guilty, only defective equipment. A win, no points on my record. Highly recommend them!
