Extremely competent attorney who treats you like a friend

I am an out of state driver who crossed a double yellow line to pass an unmarked County Sheriff vehicle. Needless to say, I was pulled over. The charge was Reckless Driving, a Class 1 criminal misdemeanor charge carrying 6 points. After talking with two other attorney’s offices, each felt that my cha...nces of conviction on the charge were high, but one emphasized that they would likely win on appeal. That attorney has an aggressive mail campaign and exhibits extensive pressure through multiple calls/texts/emails after the initial consultation. Doug, on the other hand, responds in a friendly, relaxed and knowledgable fashion. He takes the time to provide a thorough explanation of what to expect and court procedures. More importantly, he makes specific recommendations for actions the client can perform to increase the chances of a good outcome. Happily for me the outcome was a reduced conviction of Defective Equipment, a non-moving violation with no points. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire Doug to represent me in the future. His responsiveness during the case couldn’t have been better.

The Best Choice I Could Have Made in a Stressful Time

When this whole situation first began, I was scared and overwhelmed. The uncertainty of not knowing what would happen weighed heavily, and one of the most stressful parts was figuring out how to choose the right lawyer. We wanted someone with strong recommendations, someone we could trust, but also s...omeone who understood the importance of working within our budget. That balance felt nearly impossible to find at first. In the end, the overall cost came to about $2,000, which included not only Doug’s fee, but also car reports, two required classes, and the extra expenses of gas from volunteering and traveling back and forth to court. For such a difficult and draining experience, knowing that we were able to afford quality representation without being crushed financially was a huge relief. What truly stood out, though, was Doug’s character. From the very beginning, he was calm, kind, and reassuring — exactly what I needed in such a stressful time. He was patient as I asked what felt like 101 questions before signing on the dotted line, and instead of making me feel like a burden, he answered each one with care, honesty, and full transparency. That level of forthrightness was refreshing, and it built trust from the start. Throughout the entire process, Doug’s professionalism was matched by his humanity. He was not only thorough and knowledgeable, but also compassionate and understanding. His calm demeanor gave me peace of mind, and his guidance helped me navigate what could have been an overwhelming experience. Although this situation was unfortunate, meeting and working with Doug was not. I hope I never have to go through something like this again, but if I do, I know how fortunate I would be to have him by my side.

Excellent Attorney & Excellent Result

I had the privilege of working with Doug McGee after being charged with a misdemeanor for reckless driving. From our first interaction, Doug was both thorough and kind. He made a very serious and stressful situation feel more manageable by taking the time to explain every step of the process and pati...ently answering all of my questions along the way. It was clear that Doug was genuinely invested in my case—he approached it with care, professionalism, and a deep understanding of the law. Thanks to his efforts, my charge was ultimately reduced to the lowest-level speeding ticket, which was a huge relief. I’m incredibly grateful for his guidance and would highly recommend Doug McGee to anyone in need of a skilled and compassionate attorney.

Great Lawyer - Great Results!

Outstanding Lawyer, Mr. Gee is one of the finest. He explained everything that I needed to know in a phone call with him and a very educational email with a recap of the phone call. I felt very at ease after our conversation and I'm very pleased with the result. If looking for a great Traffic Lawyer,... this is the guy you want to defend you.

49 in 35.

Mr. McGee was terrific. He listened to my case, gave me clear and concise directions on what I needed to do, in order for him to help me. His communication with timely, upfront and honest. He was kind and respectful. He did exactly what he said he would do. He was also available when I had quest...ions which is huge. I would use him again in a heartbeat (but hope I never have to!).
