Very Good lawyer - knows what he's doing and cares about his clients

Doug really went to bat for me. He's really well-informed, and he gave me good advice, which I followed. I couldn't have dreamt of a more favorable result! Go with Doug McGee -- you won't regret it. He really cares, is empathic, and is well-informed about all the players in the court.

Reckless driving

I was stopped doing 104 in a 70 on my way home from visiting family. I just didn't notice the speed. When I got home the search for an attorney started. Douglas was given my case from another lawfirm and I am glad they gave it to him. He always made time to answer my many questions and was very easy ...to talk to. He made sure i understood what consequences I could possibly face but also lead me in the right direction to help mitigate things before court. I followed all of his instructions and it payed off. With his help i went from possibly facing a year jail time with over 2000 in fines and a possible suspended license to a 250 dollar fine and court fees. He was able to get it taken down to Improper operation. All I can say is if you need an attorney Douglas is your man. I can't recommend him enough .

Great DWI/DUI and criminal defense attorney. I highly recommend!

I highly recommend Douglas McGee, if you stop reading now and hire him you will not be disappointed. I had a really bad night and made some very irresponsible choices which left me charged with Driving while intoxicated (1st Offense, elevated BAC of 0.20), Hit and Run and FELONY Grand Larceny. I ha...ve a very good job with high level security clearances, which were in jeopardy with these pending charges. I started googling best DUI lawyers in Virginia and other similar searches and came upon reviews for Mr. McGee. When I first reached out to him, he was out of town on business (I believe) but he made time to talk to me and told me that I should forward all of my case documentation to him for review and he would be in touch. I talked to multiple lawyers over the course of a week, some of whom wanted me to retain them ASAP. After reading the reviews, I wanted to at least talk to him before I made my decision, and I am glad that I did. What they say is true, he is very knowledgeable and is a straight forward person. From the beginning, he made no promises and I knew the best and worst case scenarios for my legal issues, and everything in between. He told me exactly what I should do to try and help my case (Driver Improvement Clinics, etc) and what he was going to do to see if there were any mistakes or holes in the prosecutions case and what my options going forward would be. With the corona virus causing delays in the court system, my trial was over three months after my arrest date and I could not return to work until the felony charge was resolved. The county that I was charged in, has a commonwealth attorney that is less than adequate when it comes to communications on upcoming cases and doesn’t seem to look at most cases until the day before the court date. Numerous phone calls and emails to her were left unanswered and disregarded. As my court date approached, a resolution wasn’t looking probable and I was facing more unpaid leave from work. Nevertheless, Mr. McGee was resilient, and in the end persevered and was able to arrange a plea agreement on my court date. I plead guilty to the DWI/ DUI, the hit and run was dismissed and the felony grand larceny was reduced to a misdemeanor trespassing charge! I served the bare minimum jail time for the charges, with the bare minimum restrictions for this DUI. Even after his retention (our contract time) had ended, he would answer my calls and give his advice. I’m not sure what has brought to here to this review, but if you are facing a DUI or any other similar charges, do yourself a favor and give Douglas McGee a call. You will be glad you did.

Wreckless driving charge dismissed!!

I received a wreckless driving charge after I rear ended someone and after reaching out to a few firms Doug was the first person that actually explained the process and made me feel important. Through out the entire process he was very transparent and thorough! Leading up to my court date he explaine...d possible out comes and what I needed to do to mitigate them. During the hearing he was on it and made sure I knew exactly what was going on (this was my first time going to court ever). —-The hearing ended with the judge dismissing the case. —-post hearing we sat down and he explained everything that just happened and what to expect next. He was up front and honest the entire time!!
