99/70 reduced to a regular traffic ticket in Mecklenburg County

I was on my way from NC to MD when I got pulled over was cited for reckless driving at 99mph in a 70mph zone in Mecklenburg county. I was really bothered about this as I had an idea of the implication of this offense in Virginia. I immediately started contacting attorneys to prepare for the case. I ...spoke to a number of attorneys who didn't sound as convincing but as soon I was reached out to Mr McGee's office, I was told he will call me in person in a few days and he did, we spoke for about 45 minutes the first day and he ran me through the entire process and laid out the best case scenario and what I needed to do to get that. I went to work on all that he said right away and over the next few months before the court appearance. Throughout the process, Mr McGee was helpful in reassuring me when I needed any form of reassuring and clarification about anything. Apart from texting him country less times, I kept reading various reviews about him on this website to reassure and encourage myself with the success stories of so many others. (and now I hop my story encourages others also). On the court day, he got to the court before me, which really meant a lot to me and as soon as we met, he again reassured me about the probable outcome and once we were called, he handled the session so professionally that in less than 7minutes, the entire case was done and the Judge commended the actions I took in response to Mr McGee's suggestion and reduced the reckless driving charge to a mere speeding ticket without ANY implications on my driving record. I was only asked to do one more thing and pay a really low fine and court costs to get the case closed. If you have any traffic court case in the state of Virginia, look no further than to Mr McGee and you will be glad you did. He will definitely be worth your while.

Reckless driving in Brunswick county - 96/70

I got a reckless driving ticket in Brunswick county. I have approached around 10 lawyers in the area but no body was willing to take up my case because 96/70 is goner in that county. But when I consulted with McGee, he clearly mentioned all the things I have to do and also set my expectations pragmat...ic. I instantly felt better after his call. I did all the things he mentioned, went to the court and my reckless driving charge was knocked down to a moving violation which is the least one could get in Virginia

speeding ticket

Doug was great. I had a speeding ticket in VA and was facing potentially 6 points on my license. Doug told me exactly what to do to help mitigate it. I did those things and he went to court for me and got it knocked down to defective equipment with zero points. :) Highly recommend him, he was... a pleasure to work with too!

Spectacular Lawyer- Mr. Doug McGee

I live in Maryland and just returned from my court day in Sussex Virginia. I am very glad Mr. Doug McGee was by my side. I was charged with reckless driving on my way to Outer Banks with my family a few weeks ago. I simply did not see the sudden change in the speed limit and got caught in a speed t...rap (nice start to vacation). The officer cited me as reckless and stated I would have to come to court. I had absolutely no idea what any of this meant. I had never even had a speeding ticket. After researching it (yes, while on vacation), I realized I was being criminally charged, which was unbelievable to me. Furthermore, I am a professional who cannot have any such record on my background, as it is checked regularly. I also knew none in Virginia. I reached out to several lawyers (for the first time ever to represent me). Mr. McGee was the only one that returned my call promptly and spent nearly 40 minutes educating me and explaining that I had to take it serious but that we would be okay, all without charging me. He was polite, professional and very patient with my ignorance on this whole matter. He advised me meticulously on court preparation and what I needed before we appeared in from of the judge. After I spoke to him I felt much better and hired him. He was available to me at all times as needed. I completed all his instructions. Today, in court, he was phenomenal. He pleaded our case and my background to the judge and was able to persuade him to drop the reckless without need for additional community service. Let me add, this judge was very good and experienced, but not easily persuaded as I saw with other defendants. I also got to observe other lawyers representing other defendants and I must say, I knew I had selected the right lawyer. Mr. McGee is an experienced go to lawyer who happens to also be a good man, as I got to know him today. Do yourself a favor and take the charges serious and hire this serious lawyer. I hope I never go through this again, but he is my lawyer in the future, should the need arise. Overall, his fee was very reasonable for the spectacular representation. Thank you Mr. McGee.

I hired Doug after consulting several attorneys after being given a reckless driving summons in Mecklenburg County, VA for doing 85 in a 70mph zone. Doug took a half hour to speak with me over the phone that day, gave me a realistic outlook on my case, and most importantly gave me peace of mind over ...the following months while waiting for my court date. He is extremely down to earth, realistic, and I genuinely enjoyed talking with him. Not once did he ever try to scare me with the worst possible outcome as is common practice with some VA lawyers that make a living off these cases exclusively. Most importantly, he delivered on his word and got my case reduced to a non-criminal equipment malfunction. Would recommend him 110%.
