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.

The experience my daughter and I had with Riley & Wells was flawless. Mr. Riley returned my phone call quickly and then immediately had his staff contact me to collect further information. Everyone at the office was professional, courteous and patient with my daughter and I. The day of my daughter's court date, Mr. Riley ensured that the ticket was dropped. The process from beginning to end was easy, professional and we were very pleased with the outcome. We highly recommend Riley & Wells.

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!

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 was dealing with a traffic/criminal matter that I was extremely concerned about. I've never been in trouble before and I had no idea how to handle the matter. What made things worse: I live in Virginia Beach but had to report to Henrico County for the hearing/trial. I decided to Google attorneys in Richmond and saw nothing but positive reviews for Riley & Wells. I decided to give them a call. My call was returned promptly by Mr. Riley. He explained the entire process to me and quoted me a reasonable price. My trial was today and Mr. Wells represented me in court. Before the trial he explained my best options and allowed me to choose what worked best for me. I got the best possible outcome that I could have gotten, in my opinion. Mr. Wells did all the talking to the judge and then explained to me what would happen afterward. He and Mr. Riley put my mind at ease. I was so unbelievably stressed about this issue that I developed peptic ulcers. I am so thankful that I hired Riley & Wells to represent me. I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I would HIGHLY recommend Riley & Wells.

My husband recently was charged with a very serious traffic offense in Virginia (we are MD residents)...and had to appear in court (almost 3 hours from our home). We contacted our lawyer in MD who referred us to Riley & Wells. After just one phone call and one email, we were set for them to represent him. They told us what to expect, what they thought they could do and what they thought the outcome would be. Court was yesterday - they did MORE than they originally said, the outcome was INCREDIBLY better than they had initially thought, we are THRILLED. This situation could have seriously impacted our lives and within a little over a month, it is done, settled and behind us. THANK YOU! And, I must add, the legal assistant we dealt with, Jana, was about the most efficient person I have 'met' in a long time. Her responses were quick, and accurate every time....

I received my first speeding ticket in crazy ticketing Virginia. The highway patrol officer alleged I was going 86 in a 70 which was a lie, I was going about 76. I know better to speed in Va due to their costly fees. Anyhow, I was charged with Reckless driving which is a criminal offense and I was horrified. When I got home to NYC I received a bunch of letters from different traffic attorney's but not from this one. I found this firm online and read their positive reviews. There was great communication and follow ups. Their fee was $500 which is comparable to other attorneys I reviewed and consulted. Hopefully I will never have to use their services again but I would definitely recommend them, BTW, my charge was dismissed BUT I had to pay $80 in court fees and take a defensive driving online course for Virginia. :-( This experience was truly a wake up call for me to drive more cautious

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
