Reckless speeding charge

Helped me with a reckless by speed charge. 102 in a 70. He laid out his recommendations for me as to how to prepare for my hearing and with his help I avoided doing time. With Mr. McGee's help and a good amount of effort on my end I was sentenced in the best case scenario for someone going my speed. ...If not for Mr. McGee I would not be free to write this review. Highly recommend his help if you need it.

Outstanding speeding ticket defense

Knows the courts, knows the law. Took me from reckless driving to defective equipment. YMMV depending on your circumstances, but Doug McGee will provide you with the opportunity for a result like that.

Great Lawyer

McGee was very helpful and succesful with my husbands case, he was able to drop the rd charges to improper driving. His team was also bilingual and assisting us very well, especially Alejandra. Thank you for all

Great Lawyer!

I was pulled over in southern Virginia on my way to my travel job for speeding which resulted in a reckless driving ticket. I contacted Mr McGee and explained what had occurred and if he could provide legal assistance. After speaking with him I quickly understood the implications that this speeding t...icket could have on my life. I retained Mr McGee to represent me. He explained what steps I should take to help in my case which included online driver training, community service, speedometer calibration, driving records and personal references. I completed the recommendations that Mr McGee suggested and provided him with all the documentation to support my case. Mr McGee represented me on my court date and I did not have to make the long trip to Smyth County for the court appearance. The outcome of my case turned out to be very good. The reckless driving charge was dropped and I was charged with speeding 9 mph over the posted limit resulting in a small fine and court costs. I cannot thank Mr McGee enough! He did an outstanding job with my case keeping me well informed during the entire process. I highly recommend Mr McGee and would not hesitate to retain him again if the need arises.

Best Lawyer in VA! 20+ over DISMISSED

Let me start off by saying what I said throughout the phone call I received from Doug post court, WOW. I cannot thank Doug enough from start to finish with my case. With several recent traffic violations and a few accidents on my record, Doug warned me of all the possible outcomes my 20+ over cha...rge, coupled with a defective brake light charge could have on my life. He provided me a list of recommended procedures from driving school, to volunteer service, and to letters of recommendations to have done on my behalf in the hopes of helping my case. His list of procedures seemed daunting at first glance, but really weren’t bad-he asked for less than a page in writing for all documents and the minimum amount of volunteer hours. I completed almost all of his procedures in the hopes that it would help him plead my case. The phone call I received post-court was filled with laughter, relief, and amazement—I couldn’t believe it: Doug McGee was able to get all charges DISMISSED! I only had to pay the $76 court fee! I was beyond thrilled and amazed with his skill. Throughout our communication, his instantly likable personality, overall communication, and seriousness with my case made our dealings seem like conversations with a good and trusted friend. Despite the seriousness of my case, every phone call was filled with laughter all the while being extremely informative. Doug was such a pleasure to work with, and I cannot thank him enough for his thoroughness and care in and for my case, as well as his concern for me as a person (how a negative outcome would have affected my life). I am so thankful I found Doug to handle my case and will recommend him to anyone with a charge in VA. THANK YOU Doug!

"I endorse Mr. McGee. He handled a civil traffic case for me with excellent results, getting case dismissed. He was always available and kept in communication during pendency of case. I contacted other lawyers before deciding on Mr. McGee and can tell you if you have a case in his area call him first, you will be satisfied."

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals.

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
