Best lawyer ever

Douglas was absolutely amazing to work with! He thoroughly explained and communicated every step throughout the entire process, replied quickly, and kindly answered all of my questions and concerns. I did all of the suggestions he recommended I complete before my court date and he was able to bring ...my speeding misdemeanor all the way down to faulty equipment! Hopefully I never need a lawyer in VA again, but if I do he is definitely the one I’m going to!

Reckless driving ticket dismissed.

Thank you again Mr. McGee, you were very helpful, very professional and was able to explain everything perfectly to a first time offender. Thank you very much for making this part of my crash my easier on me! I hope I never need your services again, but if I do, you're already hired! Thank you and G...od bless you.

Best Choice I Ever Made

I got a ticket for going 85 in a 60 mph work zone in rural Virginia. I had planned on paying the fine, but I hadn't realized how serious it was! I live in Alabama part time, and work as a waitress. I used to work for a law firm, who recommended Doug to me. Thank gosh they did! He was able to appear ...in court on my behalf so I didn't have to drive all that way and miss work, and my charge was reduced to faulty equipment! Which is a fine that's significantly easier to pay for someone working for tips. He was super communicative, and gave me clearly outlined prep steps to ensure the best outcome. Super nice person too! I'll use him for any Virginia traffic needs I have forever!

Got reckless driving case dismissed

Hired to be my lawyer when I received a reckless driving ticket (78 in a 55 mph) in a small, rural county renowned for being tough with reckless speeding tickets. Mr. McGee is very familiar with the area I was charged—which I believed made him in invaluable in representing me. He was a prompt and ef...fective communicator in what I needed to do to prepare for the trial, and he is very knowledgeable in traffic law. Additionally, he was very kind, patient, and reassuring with my nerves about the case. Eventually, he got it dismissed, as I had a clean driving record and followed all his directions. I highly recommend him. Mr. McGee is a truly professional, experienced, and competent attorney.

Awsome Results!!

My wife was caught speeding in Carrol County Va. in route to WV to get her sick mother. Douglas was recommended to us by another lawyer here in North Carolina. Upon contact he was very polite and explained everything thoroughly. We hired Douglas at a very reasonable fee and the ticket was reduced in ...court. As a result it saved us about $900 dollars a year in insurance costs. If your caught speeding in Virginia do yourself a favor and contact Douglas, I'm sure you wont be sorry. Thanks Randy

I contacted other lawyers before deciding on Mr. McGee and can tell you if you have a case in his area call him first, you will be satisfied."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
