Successfully reduced speeding charge

Driving through VA on the way to Florida, I was pulled over and given a speeding ticket. Upon researching, I found that it was actually a charge for Reckless Driving, which is a misdemeanor. I immediately called a few lawyers that looked reputable. Doug called me back that same day and walked me thro...ugh the process. If you ever get a ticket in the area, you will receive TONS of solicitations from lawyers in the area. Doug never gave off that "salesy" vibe which was much appreciated. He seemed knowledgable and experienced - and I did everything he suggested. On the date of my hearing, Doug called with good news - the charge was reduced to a non-moving violation. I would recommend Doug McGee to anyone in need of an attorney in the area.

My Experience with Doug

Recently I found myself in a situation where a lawyer would be very convenient. I was charged with reckless driving in Virginia and was not going to be able to stand in for the court date due to being sent out of the area for training. After browsing a few websites I came across one and made a few ca...lls leading me to Doug. Him and I had a pleasant conversation discussing what had happened. Due to being military he told me what options I had and what documents I should send him, and after discussing a few more things I stated that I was interested in hiring him. He was very understanding and respectful to me despite my age and inexperience with matters such as these and helped me understand more of the legality behind it all. After hiring him he consistently stayed in touch with me and provided me useful updates pertaining to my case. In the end he was even able to get my case dismissed. Overall I would say that my experience with him was great. He was respectful, understanding, informative, and nothing less than a great lawyer to hire.

Miracle laywer!

I received a reckless driving ticket in Mecklenburg county, I was going 97 mph in a 70 mph zone over the 4th of July weekend driving back to PA from NC. This was my first time ever getting pulled over, let alone a ticket. I was extremely nervous and did not know how serious VA took this offense. I au...tomatically started researching lawyers and when I came across Doug and read all the wonderful reviews he has, I instantly new he was the right one to hire. Prior to hiring him I spoke with several different lawyers just to make sure I had options and went with the best one. Not one other lawyer made me feel as calm and hopeful as Doug did. He works great with communicating at a timely manner, whether that be text, e-mail, or calls. He answered all my questions and assured me he would put full effort on dropping the reckless driving ticket to a normal speeding ticket, and that was all done with little effort on my part. I unfortunately had certain life situations happen, where I could not complete all the tasks Doug recommended prior to my court date. Yet, he still managed to get the best peal he could for me. I am so happy I hired him and would do so again. If you need a lawyer in VA do not hesitate to call Doug, he will not disappoint.

99/70 reduced to a regular traffic ticket in Mecklenburg County

I was on my way from NC to MD when I got pulled over was cited for reckless driving at 99mph in a 70mph zone in Mecklenburg county. I was really bothered about this as I had an idea of the implication of this offense in Virginia. I immediately started contacting attorneys to prepare for the case. I ...spoke to a number of attorneys who didn't sound as convincing but as soon I was reached out to Mr McGee's office, I was told he will call me in person in a few days and he did, we spoke for about 45 minutes the first day and he ran me through the entire process and laid out the best case scenario and what I needed to do to get that. I went to work on all that he said right away and over the next few months before the court appearance. Throughout the process, Mr McGee was helpful in reassuring me when I needed any form of reassuring and clarification about anything. Apart from texting him country less times, I kept reading various reviews about him on this website to reassure and encourage myself with the success stories of so many others. (and now I hop my story encourages others also). On the court day, he got to the court before me, which really meant a lot to me and as soon as we met, he again reassured me about the probable outcome and once we were called, he handled the session so professionally that in less than 7minutes, the entire case was done and the Judge commended the actions I took in response to Mr McGee's suggestion and reduced the reckless driving charge to a mere speeding ticket without ANY implications on my driving record. I was only asked to do one more thing and pay a really low fine and court costs to get the case closed. If you have any traffic court case in the state of Virginia, look no further than to Mr McGee and you will be glad you did. He will definitely be worth your while.

Spectacular Lawyer- Mr. Doug McGee

I live in Maryland and just returned from my court day in Sussex Virginia. I am very glad Mr. Doug McGee was by my side. I was charged with reckless driving on my way to Outer Banks with my family a few weeks ago. I simply did not see the sudden change in the speed limit and got caught in a speed t...rap (nice start to vacation). The officer cited me as reckless and stated I would have to come to court. I had absolutely no idea what any of this meant. I had never even had a speeding ticket. After researching it (yes, while on vacation), I realized I was being criminally charged, which was unbelievable to me. Furthermore, I am a professional who cannot have any such record on my background, as it is checked regularly. I also knew none in Virginia. I reached out to several lawyers (for the first time ever to represent me). Mr. McGee was the only one that returned my call promptly and spent nearly 40 minutes educating me and explaining that I had to take it serious but that we would be okay, all without charging me. He was polite, professional and very patient with my ignorance on this whole matter. He advised me meticulously on court preparation and what I needed before we appeared in from of the judge. After I spoke to him I felt much better and hired him. He was available to me at all times as needed. I completed all his instructions. Today, in court, he was phenomenal. He pleaded our case and my background to the judge and was able to persuade him to drop the reckless without need for additional community service. Let me add, this judge was very good and experienced, but not easily persuaded as I saw with other defendants. I also got to observe other lawyers representing other defendants and I must say, I knew I had selected the right lawyer. Mr. McGee is an experienced go to lawyer who happens to also be a good man, as I got to know him today. Do yourself a favor and take the charges serious and hire this serious lawyer. I hope I never go through this again, but he is my lawyer in the future, should the need arise. Overall, his fee was very reasonable for the spectacular representation. Thank you Mr. McGee.
