Reckless Driving in Shenandoah VA

I hired Mr. McGee for a 100+MPH Reckless Driving charge from Shenandoah VA. From our first discussion, Mr. McGee was helpful and thorough for explaining the possible outcomes of the charge. Once I hired Mr. McGee, he sent me a list of recommendations to complete which helped me reach a more favorable... result. On my courtdate, Mr. McGee called me and kept me posted on the agreement he was able to work out with the prosecutor. As an attorney, he is respected by the judge, prosecutor and officers. Doug was able to take my recommendations into account when obtaining a plea agreement that was favorable for all involved. He also gave me alternative options to consider in the event I did not like the agreement that was reached at the time. While charges like these are very stressful for both yourself and your family, Mr. McGee is the right guy to have on your side while going through it.

NJ license Reckless 80/55 in Virginia to Infraction 64/55

When I received the ticket I was baffled since it being my first every ticket. It was reckless by speed ticket and I wasn't aware of it being a Misdemeanor in Virginia. I tried contacting many law firms and Douglas was the only one who was confident and prompt with his replies. He initially gave alot... of information for free and made me confident about my case. Once I officially signed an agreement with him. He gave a proper list of things to prepare and was on point with communication. He represented me for the case and I did not have to travel all the way from NJ. This reduction in charge saved me from accumulating large number of points and a criminal history.

Great lawyer

Living in NJ and getting a ticket in VA where I was expected to show up in court, I was at a loss of how to make that happen. With a little bit of work on our end and all of Doug’s help and guidance he was able to show up in person for the court date in my place and have the ticket decreased to a sma...ll fine. I would highly recommend!

Very understanding and knowledgeable! Highly Recommend

Doug is extremely professional, respectful, and effective. Very honest and works hard. Mr. McGee did an amazing job getting my ticket reduced to a nonmoving violation, defective equipment! He was thorough, courteous, and prompt in responding to all my questions. Highly recommend Mr. McGee if you need... legal assistance.

Absolutely recommend

It was a great pleasure having Doug work my case and I absolutely would recommend him to anyone with a VA ticket. I got a wreck less driving ticket for 96/70 in Shenandoah. Found Doug online and when we spoke he was very realistic and assuring on the proper procedure and expectations I could tell rig...ht away compared to the somewhat cheaper online services that don’t do much that going with him was absolutely worth the few extra bucks. I really appreciated his care for detail and focus as he treats each case as if it’s his only case and really gets full attention. I was provided a list of recommended work to prepare for my case and although I wasn’t able to get everything completed Doug still was able to work his best with what I was able to provide and still had gotten a reduced charge that I am more than happy with. With Doug’s strong community ties I definitely don’t think it would be worth the risk to go with anybody else if found in a similar situation to mine as VA’s driving tickets are not taken lightly and carry some very scary and real consequences if not taken seriously.

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."
