A meticulous professional.

Everything you'd want from a lawyer, you get with Doug. Someone who understands the system, who loves what they do, knows when to fight with the sword or the pencil. I partnered with Doug because I was issued a "Following too closely" citation after in accident I was involved with, Doug immediately f...rom the first phone call calmed my nerves and spoke with confidence. He gave me many different options on how I wanted to proceed and once I communicated my goals, he quickly aligned with that vision and gave me several different strategies on how he was going to fight on my behalf towards my goals. I could write an essay on how Doug portrayed everything I needed as my lawyer, but to put it simply, he was able to get my case dismissed. If the misfortune of needing a lawyer is ever weighing on your conscious, I highly recommend Doug, and I would happily pay Dougs rate, any time, any day. He is your shield and sword.

Reduction of Reckless Driving and Criminal Misdemeanor

In April of 2024, I was the unfortunate recipient of a Reckless Driving charge for speeding on the interstate while traveling from South Carolina back home to Canada. Unaware of the severity of driving penalties under Virginia state law, I was surprised to learn of the penalty for this charge and the... summons to return to Smyth County court. After doing research and consulting with several Smyth County law offices, I had the pleasure of getting in contact with Doug McGee and I couldn't be happier with the entire outcome. Doug was personable and easy to contact throughout the whole process from initial consultation to the final trial date. He was professional, realistic, and most importantly reassuring - providing sound advice for what steps to take to help my case. As an international driver, Doug worked with me to make sure we got the best results out of the obstacles that were faced and I would recommend him to anybody in a similar situation. Cannot say enough to thank him, and as I said when he relayed my verdict "I'd love to meet you and talk again, but I hope I never have to!" Thanks Doug!

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!

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!

Highly recommend

I hired Doug McGee after being charged with failing to move over a lane for a police vehicle parked on the side of the road. I didn't think I had time to get over, so I slowed down to 15 mph below the speed limit, but still found myself charged with a Class I Misdemeanor and a mandatory court date i...n Virginia (I was visiting from Texas). Doug responded promptly, treated me with kindness and understanding, and told me exactly what to do to get the best results in my case. He neither sugarcoated nor exaggerated the situation, but gave me realistic expectations of the range outcomes I could expect based on his years of experience and knowledge of the particular court I was dealing with. Doug was able to waive my appearance in court and represent me in my absence, saving me additional expense and stress. He requested a lot of prep work from me (driver improvement classes, community service, etc.), but I followed all of his suggestions and achieved an even better result than he expected - complete dismissal of the charge following 6 months of clean driving. Doug is truly gifted at what he does. He is a person of great integrity and compassion who treats his clients, the police, and all members of the court system with the utmost respect and calls out the best in each person to bring about a resolution.
