Recommend Attorney MeGee for your reckless driving charges

Connected with Attorney McGee back in May of 2026 due to a reckless driving ticket I received in Virginia. After connecting with Doug and explaining my situation and my desire to not have to travel back to VA for a court appearance, he went to work. Doug laid out the 4 supplemental recommendation...s needed to help try to circumvent my reckless driving ticket of 100MPH. The gathering of my driving record was easy as I only had to request from my local DMV. Obtaining a calibration of my speedometer from 2 different dynometer shops was slightly harder to accomplish as shops were not in my local vicinity. Taking the online defensive driving schools wasn't not very difficult but was time consuming. The last piece was difficult for myself in trying to accumulate 100 hours of community service before my court date. Due to full time job obligations, I was only able to volunteer on weekends. Again these were not extremely difficult things to accomplish but were definitely needed to help defer my case from reckless driving to improper driving. And even after doing these 4 highly requested recommendations, there was no guarantee the charge of reckless driving would be reduced. Doug kept in constant communication to see where I was in this 4 step process and was always available to answer any questions, albeit via phone/text/email. I would highly recommend attorney McGee if you need assistance in your reckless driving charges as he helped defer mine down to improper driving.

Communicative, Personable, and Effective - Hire Doug!

Doug has been in the business for a while and he has excellent expertise, especially when it comes to traffic violations such as Reckless Driving. Throughout the ~4 months between my charge and my court date, he communicated consistently and effectively, clearly laying out what was necessary to get m...y charge reduced, or maybe even dismissed. He is always very real about possible outcomes and the importance of different tasks to do before court in order to have the best chance at success. Doug is very easy to talk to and is a very nice individual. He also clearly has a great relationship with those within various circuits in Virginia, and he knows the courts very well. In the end, with the combination of completing the tasks he requested of me and his expertise, Doug was able to get my Reckless Driving case not only reduced, but completely dismissed. Couldn't be more more with the result and my decision to hire him. It is possible to get your reckless driving misdemeanor dismissed!!

Highly Recommend

I highly recommend Doug. He is very responsive and professional. I hired him to help me with a traffic ticket and his expertise got it dismissed.

Gives great instructions -- Follow Them!!

My son had a reckless driving charge that could have seriously impacted his ability to get hired for a first responder job that he wanted. Doug McGee was recommended to us and I am so glad we retained him! He told him exactly what to do. He sent an email laying out what steps to take to help get the ...best possible outcome. He also did a couple of phone calls to describe what the process would be like, what to expect in court and how to prepare. That said, you have to do the work. If he says to get community service hours, take a class, etc., you have to do it. Get your paperwork in order, do everything he says, you won't be sorry! My son got his charge reduced, he was eligible for hire, and the new job starts in a couple months. It was the best possible outcome and I am so grateful. A huge relief!

Excellent for out of state drivers

I live in a different state and received a citation in VA. I was referred to Mr. McGee and he did a great job defending me and getting the desired outcome. His advice was spot-on and I appreciate that he was familiar with the judges and troopers in the county where my citation occurred. Thank you!...
