I contacted this firm after receiving a reckless driving charge in Virginia that stemmed from a…read morespeeding citation on I-81. I had never been in serious legal trouble before, so when I learned that reckless driving in Virginia is actually a criminal offense and not just a simple traffic ticket, I was extremely concerned. My biggest worries were the potential impact on my driving record, insurance rates, and employment, especially since I travel regularly for work and maintain a clean record. From my very first conversation with the firm, I felt like I was talking to people who deal with these situations every day. Instead of giving generic advice, they reviewed the details of my case, explained the specific statute I had been charged under, and walked me through the possible outcomes. What I appreciated most was that they were honest. They didn't make unrealistic promises or guarantee a particular result. Instead, they explained what factors could help my case and what steps I could take before the court date to put myself in the best possible position. Their team recommended several proactive measures, including completing a driver improvement course and gathering documentation that demonstrated my otherwise clean driving history. They also explained the court process in detail so I knew exactly what to expect. Having that level of preparation significantly reduced my anxiety because I wasn't left guessing about what would happen next. Communication throughout the case was excellent. Whenever I had questions, whether by phone or email, someone responded promptly and provided clear answers. Legal matters can feel overwhelming when you're unfamiliar with the system, but Riley & Wells consistently made complex issues understandable. I always felt informed and never felt like my case had been pushed aside. When the court date arrived, it was obvious that they were thoroughly prepared. They knew the facts of the case, understood the local court procedures, and presented everything professionally. Their familiarity with Virginia traffic law and courtroom practice gave me a great deal of confidence. Rather than simply showing up and hoping for the best, they approached the matter with a clear strategy based on the circumstances of my case. The final outcome was significantly better than I had feared when I first received the charge. More importantly, I walked away feeling that I had been represented by attorneys who genuinely cared about achieving the best possible result while keeping me informed every step of the way. If you're facing a reckless driving charge or other traffic-related offense in Virginia, I highly recommend Riley & Wells. You can't go wrong with them.

He represented my son a few years back and refused to EVER visit or even speak with my son, his own client. He appears misogynistic, and accused me of all the things my ex was doing TO myself and my son. We were both abused and gaslighted by a sociopath and Mr. Samuels only listened to the sociopath, thus treated us very poorly. Thankfully my son turned 18 and never saw his abuser again. Mr. Samuels did not want to hear our side, or look at any real evidence. He ignored all my faxes and efforts to contact him, which made a fool of him in court because I was able to provide those to the judge after he gave inaccurate testimony and then left early. Thanks Mr. Samuels, for the extended abuse, lies, and defamation brought about by the sociopath. Take a psychology course or make a real effort listen to the child you're supposed to represent next time.

However, David Long got it reduced down to a speeding ticket, and I am forever grateful. He is very professional, no nonsense, and straight to the facts. I absolutely love that about him because other lawyers I consulted were either hazy/unsure on the situation or their ability to do anything in my situation, or they claimed my case was trivial while being under-informed about my situation. David Long told me exactly what could happen, previous cases' outcomes, and everything in between. He is very informative and I would highly recommend him.
