Knowledgeable and patient.

I had a wreckless driving charge out in Shenandoah County it was my first offence that severe and I was very nervous about the outcome. I contacted several lawyers and Doug was the most prompt and professional that I delt with. He was highly competent and knew the Shenandoah area and its laws well. H...e made time for my MANY questions and concerns and while the answers where not always the most comforting they were well informed and honest. In the end he got my wreckless ticket bumped down to a significantly less severe charge. The judge that tried my case literally said I was lucky to have him as my lawyer. Follow his instructions and I'm sure he'll do his best for you.

You gonna get through this With Mr.Mcgee

I was going for a vacation from NY to Florida. Stopped for doing 88 in a 70 zone and I had no idea it is considered as RD in Virginia. I called few law firms and I did not get much info or particular attention. I found Mr. McGee's contact on the web while I was looking an attorney to help me out. His... all reviews were good and I'm so happy today I made my decision to hire him. When I reached him he knew what exactly to do and even before taking the case, He walked me through and explained all quite nicely and taken his own time with out any charge. I sent him with all the documents,He has taken good time to prepare for the case and requested me to obtain few docs like my Driving records,Ordometer calibration, I received a minimum fine, no points and could not have been happier. Thanks to Doug McGee.I recommend him 100% as this charge gonna make your life hard if convicted with bad choices.

Look no further than Doug

Receiving a reckless driving ticket, I was in search for a lawyer. With concerns of this being considered a felony it was important to find the right person to handle this case. During the consultation Doug was transparent sharing the severity of the charge and his recommended actions. I was impresse...d because he called the same evening as the request to be contacted was made. Throughout the entire process he kept his word, following up as promised even with his busy schedule. The plan of action he outlined we followed to a tee. He was able to arrange a plea to a speeding of 20 over the speed limit, fine plus court costs. This was way better than the 12 months of jail time and a criminal record.

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.

Highly recommend!

He help me get my reckless driving in VA Beach reduced when everyone else with this particular judge was getting jail time and non-reduced sentences. Very easy to talk to and was always available for me when I had questions.
