Friendly, Effective, Easy. Highly Recommend.

I was caught in a speed trap in VA. I reached out to Doug and he very thoroughly explained the process and what he could possibly do to get it reduced. If you follow everything he tells you to do, he will help tremendously. He was able to get my case dismissed with only a court fee. Give him a ca...ll.

Professional!

I am pleased to highly recommend and commend the outstanding legal services of Doug, who recently represented me in a reckless driving case (89 in 60 work zone). Through his exceptional professionalism, deep legal expertise, and strategic approach, he successfully reduced my charge to a non - moving ...ticket , significantly easing my situation. From the outset, Doug demonstrated a thorough understanding of traffic law, carefully analyzing every aspect of my case and crafting a strong defense. His ability to negotiate effectively and present compelling arguments in court was instrumental in securing a favorable outcome. Beyond his legal acumen, Doug provided invaluable guidance and reassurance throughout the process, ensuring I was well-informed and prepared at every stage. His dedication, responsiveness, and commitment to achieving the best possible result were truly commendable. I wholeheartedly recommend Doug to anyone in need of a skilled and diligent attorney. His professionalism and ability to navigate complex legal matters make him an exceptional advocate in any case. Thanks for your support!

Reckless Driving over 90mph reduced to 'Defective Equipment'

I was pulled over on i-80 in Virginia going 93 in a 70 zone. With Doug's guidance, he was able to get my ticket down to 'defective equipment'. Which is the equivalent to a tail light bulb being out. He recommended I take the 8 and 4-hour driving retraining courses. As well as, perform community s...ervice and have my vehicles speed calibrated. I accomplished all of those tasks and Doug was able to use that to get my reckless Driving charge reduced to the non-moving violation. I just had to pay court costs and fines. My vehicles speed ended up being 4mph off which helped greatly. So, I would highly recommend taking the time to get that done if you can. Doug, is knowledgeable, punctual, and professional. He made the whole process less painful than it had to be by following his guidance. I would absolutely recommend Doug if you need an attorney for a reckless Driving charge.

Got reckless diving ticket reduced to improper driving

Even though I was out of state, Doug was able to reduce my reckless driving ticket (102 in a 70) down to an improper driving ticket! I just had o pay a fine and court costs. I could have served jail time, so this was an amazing outcome! Additionally, he got the prosecution to agree that I would not h...ave to drive to VA for court! Hopefully I won’t need him again, but I would definitely recommend Doug to anyone needing representation.

Awesome!

Doug was awesome and easy to work with. We had a short phone call to run through the details, he gave a realistic outcome, and sent me a list of things to do to help the case. He got a 90 in a 70 with a misdemeanor and six points down to a defective equipment ticket. If you’re thinking the speed cali...bration check he advises is going to be a waste of time like I did…it is not, and was a game changer in the case.
