He saved me from reckless driving

He saved me from reckless driving that twice the speed limit, and he is a very kind and patient to me throughout the whole process. Even the English is my second language, he explains the every detail to me and help me to reduce the consequences as low as possible. I am very grateful for his help.

Military Friendly Lawyer

I was charged with Reckless Driving in Southampton County (86/60) while on Military travel orders. Luckily I was referred to Doug and I could not be more grateful for how he handled my case. What I admired most was his honesty and his commitment to offer my case the personal attention that was requir...ed. I was not just one of many cases on his plate. Doug communicated clearly with me up front about all of the documents he needed to best support me and maintained communication throughout so that I knew exactly what I needed to provide. Doug was able to argue my charges to be dropped completely without so much as a speeding ticket. I can vouch for Doug's willingness to work with Military members and any case where the client lives out of state. I give Doug my strongest recommendation.

Reckless driving

Doug is absolutely amazing! He helped get my reckless driving ticket down to defective equipment. He was extremely knowledgeable on the law in Virginia, considering that I am from out of state, and he was able to explain everything to me as to how the process works. He also was completely honest in t...erms of possible outcomes. He is absolutely excellent and fairly priced. He also took alot of the stress off me considering that I was in the process of moving to a different state 16 hours away and trying to get a law enforcement job. But in the end everything worked out! I can't Thank him enough for everything!

Highley reccomended!

Great Lawyer and best decision I ever made. I was charged with a RD noted 92 in a 60mph zone. Doug took it upon him self with great patience and support. He was very personable and always made time for me. With being only 19 years old I didint exactly know what I was doing but Doug did a great job of... leading me through the whole process. In the end result, Doug was able to reduce my recklace driving charge all the way down to a defective equipment charge which led to a zero point reduction with a very small fee. I am beyond amazed with his work and would highley recommend him.

Grateful and relieved parent

When my son got a speeding ticket from Bland County, we thought that was what it was, a speeding ticket, only to discover he was being charged with misdemeanor reckless driving with possibility of jail time, large fine and suspension of license. Being out of state and not knowing any attorney in Virg...inia, we researched the internet and found Doug. Doug was very prompt in returning my call. He was very comforting and reassuring, and professional at the same time. He understood the enormity of a conviction of the charge. Doug was very specific in outlining what we needed to provide in preparation for the court date. He maintained effective line of communication all through the process. My son did not have to appear in court being that he was out of state. We were excitingly relieved when Doug called with the good news. He got the charges reduced from misdemeanor to defective equipment with no points on the driving records. Doug is a life saver and we appreciate greatly all he did. One may not find a lot of reviews for Doug, he is old school with a lot of experience under his belt, but he is the best! Talk to him first before any other.
