Great DWI/DUI and criminal defense attorney. I highly recommend!

I highly recommend Douglas McGee, if you stop reading now and hire him you will not be disappointed. I had a really bad night and made some very irresponsible choices which left me charged with Driving while intoxicated (1st Offense, elevated BAC of 0.20), Hit and Run and FELONY Grand Larceny. I ha...ve a very good job with high level security clearances, which were in jeopardy with these pending charges. I started googling best DUI lawyers in Virginia and other similar searches and came upon reviews for Mr. McGee. When I first reached out to him, he was out of town on business (I believe) but he made time to talk to me and told me that I should forward all of my case documentation to him for review and he would be in touch. I talked to multiple lawyers over the course of a week, some of whom wanted me to retain them ASAP. After reading the reviews, I wanted to at least talk to him before I made my decision, and I am glad that I did. What they say is true, he is very knowledgeable and is a straight forward person. From the beginning, he made no promises and I knew the best and worst case scenarios for my legal issues, and everything in between. He told me exactly what I should do to try and help my case (Driver Improvement Clinics, etc) and what he was going to do to see if there were any mistakes or holes in the prosecutions case and what my options going forward would be. With the corona virus causing delays in the court system, my trial was over three months after my arrest date and I could not return to work until the felony charge was resolved. The county that I was charged in, has a commonwealth attorney that is less than adequate when it comes to communications on upcoming cases and doesn’t seem to look at most cases until the day before the court date. Numerous phone calls and emails to her were left unanswered and disregarded. As my court date approached, a resolution wasn’t looking probable and I was facing more unpaid leave from work. Nevertheless, Mr. McGee was resilient, and in the end persevered and was able to arrange a plea agreement on my court date. I plead guilty to the DWI/ DUI, the hit and run was dismissed and the felony grand larceny was reduced to a misdemeanor trespassing charge! I served the bare minimum jail time for the charges, with the bare minimum restrictions for this DUI. Even after his retention (our contract time) had ended, he would answer my calls and give his advice. I’m not sure what has brought to here to this review, but if you are facing a DUI or any other similar charges, do yourself a favor and give Douglas McGee a call. You will be glad you did.

Wreckless driving charge dismissed!!

I received a wreckless driving charge after I rear ended someone and after reaching out to a few firms Doug was the first person that actually explained the process and made me feel important. Through out the entire process he was very transparent and thorough! Leading up to my court date he explaine...d possible out comes and what I needed to do to mitigate them. During the hearing he was on it and made sure I knew exactly what was going on (this was my first time going to court ever). —-The hearing ended with the judge dismissing the case. —-post hearing we sat down and he explained everything that just happened and what to expect next. He was up front and honest the entire time!!

Excellent Attention!!

I was coming from my vacation from NC to CT and I was stopped for doing 88 in a 70 zone. I had no idea it is considered Reckless Driving in Virginia. I called few law firms and I did not get much info besides how much their fees were even after having a consultation with them. Doug McGee was the only... attorney who I contacted who explained the process to me and took the time to reassure me I was in good hands. He was with me each step of the way. Any questions or concerns I had he was there to answer them. If anybody else is having an issue like this I 100% recommend Doug McGee. He made the process easily and the money you will be paying him isn't anything compared to the consequences you would face if convicted.

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.

I can’t believe how much he helped

I got a reckless driving ticket (96 in a work zone) on my way to Georgia due to my job I was not able to make it to the court on the date. I looked online and found mr. Douglas McGee he made contact with me and I explained what happened and why I couldn’t make it to court on the upcoming date. He was... able to work with me and help walk me through the process, and what I can do to help with the case. He was able to get my ticket from a reckless driving to a much lower speeding ticket. I am more than thankful for his work and how much he helped me. I most likely wouldn’t have gotten a better outcome from someone else. If you get a ticket I highly recommend Mr. McGee and that if he asks for anything get it done. 10/10 would choose him again or recommend someone
