100% recommend!!

I hired Doug Mcgee back in June of this year for a wreckless driving ticket i received in VA while being a resident out of state, I was extremely lucky to have came across his name as Mr. Mcgee was one of the most down to earth person I have ever met. I had explained I had a pending charge from anoth...er state and was very worried about my ticket becoming a misdemeanor so he had given me all of the realistic outcomes and possibilities along with the tools to atleast get the misdemeanor dropped being the main goal. Mr Mcgee would check in within the four months until the court date and very fast with responses to my questions and concerns. Within the time I got the ticket i had also received another speeding ticket out of state so the odds were against me. In court Me Mcgee came completely through for me and not only got the misdemeanor off the table but i only received the lowest moving violation in the VA state. Please do not second guess going with Doug you will not regret it & i couldnt thank him enough!

Doug McGee is THE MAN

I was driving home from Florida to N/Y. Stopped for doing 84 in a 70 zone. In Virginia that's considered RD. I contacted my N.Y. Lawyer who recommended Doug's law firm to handle my case. Doug called me and we reviewed my options. He was so spot on and professional. I received calls from him on Sunday...s, unheard of in my opinion. I sent him with all the documents he required for a court appearance. Rather than winding up in an Orange Jump Suit, I received a minimum fine, no points and could not have been happier. Thanks to Doug McGee

Place your trust in Doug McGee - you won't regret it!

As so many others have noted in reviews on this site, I received a reckless speeding ticket (84 in a 70) in Emporia, NC and was shocked to learn it was a misdemeanor. I am employed in a position that demands I hold a particular clearance level. This meant not only would the speeding ticket leave me w...ith "a record", but it threatened my current position and ability to procure future positions requiring the same level of clearance. I called Doug the day I received the ticket and he responded immediately - as he did throughout the process. Doug was very straightforward and clear with me from the first conversation explaining possible/probable outcomes and proactive measures I could take to mitigate the outcome of my case. I did exactly as he recommended. Doug was able to get the ticket DISMISSED! and on my on my court date. This was not done on appeal. I did not have to appear in court - Doug clearly presented my case in such a manner that this was not required. Doug is very professional - highly effective and super responsive ( responding to 2am an anxiety ridden text from me at 3am) who does that! I recommend Doug McGee to anyone who has found themselves in a similar situation. Cannot say it enough, THANK YOU Doug!!!

Expect the BEST outcome for your situation

I was charged with a DWI, reckless driving and leaving the scene of an accident ( Total of 3 charges). Doug had my charges reduced to improper driving and reckless driving. My driving license WAS NOT suspended, I DID NOT have to get a breathalyzer installed, Suspended all jail time. Doug looked for e...ver angle possible to leverage my defense against the prosecutor, he keep me informed of all information well ahead of time. By far the best attorney I have ever had ( I have needed quite a few ). Pay what he asks, do what he asks, and expect the BEST outcome for your situation. There is no one else that I would ever call when/if legal services/advise are needed in the future.

Out of State Reckless Driving Ticket (CDL)

I am from New York and being a new CDL driver I was hit with a radar @ 86MPH in a 70MPH speed zone on the interstate . Very concerned as how it would affect my future and career. I contacted Doug and he responded almost instantly with all of the correct answers to all my questions and concerns. Bein...g around the holidays and what not he was very responsible with his retainer fees . He works most days like the rest of us ! So if you have any problems or questions just shoot him a text he will reply promptly. He managed to save my career and CDL I can not thank him enough my ticket was reduced and now I have zero points with a fine ! Just remarkable , the outcome was more than adequate ! I give him five stars any day of the week !!!!! (Out of staters he is your guy ! ) you will not be disappointed. God Bless
