My name is Andrew Curtiss. I would like to attest to the professional services of the Riley and Wells Law Firm. I was subject to the Virginia State “Over 80” stipulation, imposed by a Virginia State Trooper with a Napoleon Complex. Since I am a resident of another state I was forced with the option of accepting a misdemeanor and paying a ridiculous fine that may have caused my license to be suspended or revoked, or attending court. The problem is that I was in Virginia for work and was unable to make the court date because court was set for a date where I was not in Virginia. I was easily able to work with the Riley and Wells law office over the internet and phone to tackle this matter. The Riley and Wells Law Firm not only represented me in my absence; but they saved me from the damage of losing my license and taking a misdemeanor charge, which could have impacted my career. I was always treated with dignity and respect and the staff kept me well informed of my situation every step of the way. It is in my experience that Riley and Wells is one of the most professional Law firms I have dealt with. I would certainly use them again and would recommend their services to anyone.

While returning to NJ from SC, my wife was cited for doing 81 in a 70 and while we actually going nowhere near 81 mph, we were not overly confident in our ability to fight the charge from such a long distance. We contacted Riley & Wells, provided the details and they were able to help us lower the charge to a non moving violation, which was a huge help. We had several VA plates in front of us, moving faster, and several behind and still the officer pulled us out of the group. (NJ Plates) Something needs to be done about the dishonest way that the State of VA rakes in 100+ million a year in fines on the backs of out of state motorists. Thanks to Riley & Wells, at least we have a fighting chance! Hopewell, VA alone on a 2 mile stretch of 295 issues over 1000 speeding tickets per month and generate roughly 1.8 million per year for their town. The only problem is, folks like us were not speeding at the rates they claim and they know that most are passing through and have to either hire an attorney or eat crow and pay the fines. Until it changes, please keep fighting for the people getting the shaft! Thank you!

Mr. Wells represented me in Hopewell, Virginia for a Reckless Driving citation of 108 in a 70 mph zone. I got this citation on my way to process into the Air Force and I could not afford to have this on my record, so I hired Mr. Wells after consulting 15 different attorneys. Mr. Wells and his law firm did an exceptional job with my case. He was able to get the judge to take a disposition and drop the charge down to improper driving, which is not a misdemeanor. I could not have been more thankful for the job Mr. Wells did. If I was a football coach, Mr. Wells would be my defensive coordinator because that is how great of a defense attorney he is. Keep in mind though that Virginia is a commonwealth and every Judge is different. However, I do not think there is a judge Mr. Wells cannot face. If you received a citation for reckless driving, I recommend you consult with Mr. Wells and he will be willing to help you out as long as you do everything he instructs you to do. God bless you abundantly Mr. Wells!

Mitch Wells is a lawyer on a different caliber of efficiency, knowledge, and effectiveness. I appreciated every aspect from the greetings on the phone to the sit down at the office. All was a wonderful experience. The office was beautiful in structure to interior aesthetic. The feelings upon entering were warm and welcoming. I was an out of state driver and Mr. Wells fully took that into consideration along with many other concerns I had. He had a reassuring attitude to where I felt I was in a safe and reliable to converse openly with him in addressing every detail. Mr. Wells makes moves and plans with you leading up to the court date effectively. I am highly satisfied with the outcome of my case, and if ever need be, call him first. S+ Lawyer rated, and just a cool guy overall. Sincerely, Thank you!

I would highly recommend Riley & Wells as a dedicated, professional, knowledgeable team. After my daughter was in an accident, we looked at attorney options and quickly reached out to Ed Riley. From the first conversation Ed and the entire team at Riley & Wells made us feel comfortable while professionally and clearly discussing the process with us. They spent time understanding the situation and outlining what we should expect from the different judges and police officers. Additionally Ed did a very good job explaining the possible outcomes to my teenage daughter. He made clear that she should see this as a learning experience to help her become a more careful driver.

We recently had to engage Riley and Wells regarding a traffic citation (81 in a 70 MPH along the I-85 corridor) our daughter received while driving back to her college in VA. After seeing the reviews that were posted, and speaking with the staff at Riley & Wells I believe we made an excellent choice. I appreciate their professionalism and diligent work in getting our her citation reduced to defective equipment. They did a fabulous job in preventing her from having points placed on her license (which would have meant a BIG increase in her premiums). I heartily recommend them to anyone in similar circumstances.

I highly recommend Riley and Wells. I was reluctant to higher a lawyer and intimidated by all the mailings following my citation in Brunswick County. I needed an excellent outcome for employment reasons, and of course driving record/insurance reasons. My violation for 83/70, reckless by statute in Virginia, was reduced to defective equipment. My costs including fine and lawyers fees came out a little less than a man in front of me at the cashier. However, he was convicted of reckless, got points, and will pay more on his insurance. He claimed to be a lawyer, and that he represented himself. Womp womp...

Mitch Wells was such a pleasure to work with. He is very charismatic and it was obvious that he had a good repute with the judge and officers who were present. Because of this, he was able to easily dismiss my speeding ticket (60 in a 45) in exchange for driving school and court costs. This was not my first ticket and I probably wouldn’t have stood a chance otherwise. I am so grateful that he was able to help me out. My dad is also very happy that our insurance won’t be going up! If you have a lead foot like I do (or a daughter who does), I would definitely recommend using this firm. Thanks again!

Back in May 2016, I was driving through Virginia for a family vacation. I am from NC, so I am very unfamiliar with the roads in VA. I was driving down one highway and got stopped, and was given a ticket for reckless driving! I was freaking out!! I was recommended to Riley & Wells by a lawyer here in NC. After seeing all the great reviews on google, I decided to go with them. Thanks to Cody Remington, my ticket was lowered to a non-moving violation with NO points!! Thank you Cody! I really appreciate your help with this situation. I have now also learned to slow down if I ever drive in VA again.

I had a traffic issue that I was faced with that could have possibly cost me my license in NC and so I googled VA lawyers and this was one of the first to pop up. After my first initial call I was impressed with both the staff as well as Mitch Wells so I allowed them to handle my case. Nothing but positive results and I would and will recommend them to anyone who is faced with a court issue in VA. They seriously deserve the 4.9 rating and more. If I ever have to have another issue handled in VA, and Lord I hope I never do, it will definitely be handled by none other than Riley & Wells!!!!

My experience at Riley and Wells was excellent. My free consultation took place over the phone which was convenient but also very thorough. Mr. Riley took the time to listen to the details of my case, gave me an idea of what to expect in court, and advised me on what to do before going to ensure a better result. When my court date arrived Mr. Wells spoke with me briefly about the details and what he anticipated the result would be before meeting with the prosecutor. I ended up with all three charges, one of which was reckless driving dismissed! Thank you for a great experience.

I drove to VA in August (from FL) and on my way home I got pulled over right in Greensville going 85/70. Since this was my first time driving in VA, I had no clue about their crazy driving policy! Apparently anything over 80 is considered reckless driving!! I got a court summons on the spot...I seared for lawyers in the area when I got home and found Mitchell Wells! He got the misdemeanor reckless driving down to a "defective equipment non moving violation" !! He was professional, quick and the entire time was very friendly. Highly recommend!!!

I hired Riley & Wells when I was charged with reckless driving going 83 in a 70 on I-95 which is a Class 1 misdemeanor in VA. I am from out of state and have never gotten any kind of ticket before so this was a very stressful situation for me. Riley & Wells made every step of the way easy. They were able to get my charge reduced to defective speedometer which is a no points non-moving violation. I hope I never find myself in a situation like this again, but if I do I would not hesitate to call Riley & Wells to help me.

After calling several Richmond attorneys about my Reckless Driving charge (82 mph in a 40 zone), Ed Riley was the only one hopeful about negotiating to avoid jail time. With a prior excessive speeding charge and two completed driving schools on my record- Ed Riley and Brenton Bohannon were able to have this potential misdemeanor dropped down to 19 over with community service and another driving school. No loss of license, no jail time, no hefty fine. Highly recommend, could not be more pleased with the results!

Riley & Wells are the best and highly recommended! I was nervous when I had to hire them because of a traffic violation but they were so professional and easy to work with that they put me at ease quickly. They were fast to answer all of my questions and always kept me informed. Do to their unmatched knowledge base and professionalism they were able to get my traffic violation dropped. I could not have asked for a better Attorney’s office to represent me. Thank you again Erin and Mr. Wells.

AWESOME! My attorney (Mitch Wells) represented me in my traffic case with prompt professionalism. With his competent knowledge of the laws, and strong relationship with courts and judges - he was able to have my case amended to "defective equipment". Not only did this save me time (from having to spend all morning waiting at general district court) - and a whole day of taking driving school, but saved me having to pay for a speeding ticket and kept my driving record clean!

The entire staff at Riley and Wells was there for me on very short notice. Mr. Wells met with me prior to court and eased my mind by explaining everything that would happen. I was elated when my case was dismissed. I had been planning to go to court on my own. Thank goodness I hired Riley and Wells to represent me. If you find yourself in an unfortunate situation like I did, I highly recommend Riley and Wells for their competence, experience, and professionalism.

I would like to thank Riley & Wells for the job they did handling my misdemeanor speeding case in Hopewell, VA, I have less than a stellar driving record and they were able to represent me and have my case reduced to improper driving. They were very professional and kept me informed on how the process was working. Hopefully I will never need their services again but I certainly would not hesitate to use them if I was placed in this situation again. Thank you

I hired Cody Remington at this firm to handle a speeding ticket that I got in Virginia while driving north. He and his firm got me an excellent result (charge reduced to mere violation, no points, minor fine). They were responsive, good communicators, very professional, and they delivered! As a retired attorney I can say this is not always what you get when dealing with lawyers. I highly recommend Mr. Remington and Riley & Wells.
