Excellent lawyer for any traffic issue.

Doug did a fantastic job in getting a ticket I received in Danville VA reduced to a non-moving violation, and therefore eliminating points on my record. He is very personable and was easy to talk to throughout the process. He was quick to respond to questions, gave excellent advice, and cleared the c...ase even before my court date. Despite this being a relatively minor case for him, he pursued it aggressively and eased my stress over the whole ordeal. I would recommend him highly and without reservation.

Reckless driving reduced – strong result

I hired Doug for a reckless driving case in Smyth County where I was charged with 105 in a 70. I knew how serious that charge was and what it could mean for my record and future, so I needed someone who knew how to handle it the right way. From the start, Doug was straightforward and realistic abo...ut the situation. He explained what I was facing and what steps I needed to take before court. I appreciated that he didn’t sugarcoat anything and kept things clear the whole time. Communication was solid throughout the process. Whenever I had questions, he responded and kept me on track. I always knew what was going on and what to expect next. In the end, he was able to get the charge reduced to improper driving. Considering the speed involved, I understand that’s not something that just happens. That result made a major difference for me by avoiding a criminal conviction and the long-term impact that comes with it. Overall, Doug handled everything professionally and stayed focused on getting the best possible outcome. I would definitely recommend him to anyone dealing with a serious traffic charge.

Reckless driving violation in Virginia

While traveling through Virginia to get to Tennessee, I received a reckless driving charge for driving 92mph in a 70mph zone. A thorough web search to find a good attorney in a place five hours from home suggested Douglas McGee got fantastic results with regard to my charge. He had great reviews and... after a consultation I knew he was the man for the job. My charge was in Smyth County and Doug knew all of the prosecutors, the police officers, everyone! I hired him and did everything he told me to do before my court date. He represented me in my absence and I was very pleased to learn he got my charge reduced to the lowest possible traffic ticket. I no longer have to worry about renewing my professional license or paying higher insurance rates because of Doug’s help. From experience, if you need a good attorney in Virginia, I absolutely recommend Doug. He’s a straight forward, honest, professional attorney with fair fees. Doug, Thank you! I appreciate you and your expertise. It was a pleasure speaking with and working with you. Thank you for helping me like you did. Wishing you continued success.
