Stellar guy

I caught a "reckless by speed" on rt. 3 in King George County...... 76 in a 45 zone. There were clear indications that something with the stop was fishy. One being I didn't get pulled over for 2.2 miles from where I was supposedly clocked, and more. I called around for about a week, talking with ...attorneys. Spoke with Doug one evening and he literally dropped what he was doing and spent about 40 minutes explaining his view, the possible outcomes and various things I could do to better my position. First hearing Doug could tell something was off, I as well had not completed one of my tasks, which was an online class. Doug got the trial postponed and even got the Judge to scratch his previous markings! Month later, second hearing, I finished up the class, Doug explained me very well (which I do have alot on my side, no tickets for 15 years, no points, good job, single father etc.) and the Judge literally asked "Mr. McGee, what do you want me to do here?" No bullspit.... Doug asked for a 30.1 so I walked out with NO POINTS AND $100 fine!! Completely unheard of in VA, as far as I am aware of. This could have been devastating for me, 6 points, thousands in fines, possible jail time. Doug nailed it! He is well connected and respected in the system, which was evident. He will spend as long as it takes explaining details. Very down to earth. Even if this did not work out this well, I would still have 5 stars up. Thanks Doug!!!!!

High Caliber Attorney

Douglas McGee is an elite attorney. He has represented me on several occasions throughout the years for traffic violations and each time the outcome has been favorable and beyond my expectations. Most recently I had a violation that was dismissed as a result of the efforts of Mr. McGee.

Excellent at what he does

Doug is an incredible attorney and great person. He has helped me and my family/friends on numerous cases, all with amazing results. He genuinely cares about his clients and works tirelessly on getting the best outcomes. His experience in the region makes him your best choice for your legal needs. He... loves his job and works around the clock to deliver professional and winning representation. I consider him a powerful lawyer and prominent friend.

Excellent Experience with RD Citation

If you find yourself with a Reckless Driving, other traffic citations or criminal misconduct in The Commonwealth of Virginia, do yourself a favor and contact Douglas McGee as soon as possible. He helped talk me through my initial panic, calmed my fears and got me to a place where I saw hope of avoidi...ng a jail sentence and license suspension. It wasn't easy, he and I both put in a LOT of work, but in the end The Court showed mercy on me, thanks to the council and guidance of Mr. McGee, and my willingness to follow his directions from day one. Don't panic, just give him a call and let him walk you through the process. It won't always be easy, but in the end it will be worth it to know you did everything possible to mitigate the circumstances surrounding your specific incident, and obtained the most favorable outcome from The Court.

None Better!!

I was cited for reckless driving and Doug represented me. He told me exactly what to do and even provided supporting information to help me in my case. He is very personable and took the time to get to know me. He always kept me informed and reassured and was able to get my charges reduced. He is li...terally a life saver. A conviction could have cost me so much. Thanks Doug! You are truly the best!

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.
