				I want to thank Attorney Ryan Rakness, he did an amazing job with two of my wife’s tickets. I would give him more stars if that was an option. I highly recommend him if you’re in need of excellent representation.

				we had an excellent experience with Rakness & Wright, PLC. my bf was facing a speeding ticket in Virginia for going more than 15 mph over the limit, which I knew could have serious consequences.

Attorney Rakness handled everything professionally and efficiently. He noticed that the officer failed to provide the required documents. Because of this, he was able to successfully get the case dismissed.

I’m very grateful for his expertise and thoroughness. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable and reliable attorney who pays close attention to the details, I highly recommend Rakness & Wright, PLC.

				I was pulled over for having a “fake inspection sticker” and Ryan looked through my case and found where the state cop made an error on the infraction and got the case thrown out ! Highly recommend

				Won't return calls, lies without remorse. Left a few voicemails over the past YEAR needing him to just to answer 2 seconds worth of questions he promised he'd help me with.  Waiting for over a YEAR to talk to him for 2 small minutes.....

				I retained Mr. Rakness earlier this year and was very pleased with his work. He was easy to contact, personable, and worked diligently on my case. He and his team were quick to schedule a meeting if I had any concerns and worked hard to answer any questions I had. If you’re considering retaining Mr. Rakness, you can be confident that your case is in good hands.
