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.

1st offense DUI dropped to a reckless

Highly recommend, very good lawyer. I was facing jail time and a DUI. I was almost late for my hearing by the time I got there I just walked straight up front in front of the judge. Doug whispered to me and said I got everything dropped to a reckless driving and some community service.

Couldn’t ask for a better lawyer

I had been charged with a DUI in Shenandoah county with a .15 BAC. Doug was great from the start explaining exactly what I should expect and prepare for. This was my first charge so I was unaware of the consequences. Doug explained what I should do to be proactive and he also made sure I understood w...hat his steps were. Long story short, he got my case reduced to a wreck less driving. WOW!!! I’m still surprised he made that happen. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for top notch legal help. Mr. McGee, your the best. Thank you again.

Expect the BEST outcome for your situation

I was charged with a DWI, reckless driving and leaving the scene of an accident ( Total of 3 charges). Doug had my charges reduced to improper driving and reckless driving. My driving license WAS NOT suspended, I DID NOT have to get a breathalyzer installed, Suspended all jail time. Doug looked for e...ver angle possible to leverage my defense against the prosecutor, he keep me informed of all information well ahead of time. By far the best attorney I have ever had ( I have needed quite a few ). Pay what he asks, do what he asks, and expect the BEST outcome for your situation. There is no one else that I would ever call when/if legal services/advise are needed in the future.
