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.

Outstanding Representation and Remarkable Results!

I can’t say enough good things about my experience working with Doug McKee. He was able to have my reckless driving misdemeanor charge reduced all the way down to a 0-point defective equipment—a truly incredible outcome. From start to finish, Doug was professional, responsive, and easy to work with. ...He set realistic expectations, explained every step of the process clearly, and followed through on everything he promised. What stood out most was how thorough and genuinely invested he was in my case. Doug went above and beyond to ensure the best possible result, and I’m so grateful for his expertise and dedication. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a skilled, trustworthy attorney.

Reckless Driving charge 87 mph in 70 mph zone

Highly recommend. Doug communicated clearly and accurately throughout the entire process. He made no guarantees, but provided range of possible outcomes and guidance on what we could do to help the case. Final result my reckless driving (class 1 misdemeanor) reduced to defective equipment. Highly... recommend!

Excellent Representation and Peace of Mind

I hired Mr. McGee to represent me in a traffic matter. From the very beginning, he was thorough, clear, and proactive in explaining the process and the steps I could take to strengthen my case. His guidance on preparation and his responsiveness to every question gave me complete peace of mind. Tha...nks to his expertise and advocacy, the case was resolved with a minimal outcome that carried no lasting consequences. Importantly, he was able to handle the matter entirely on my behalf, which was invaluable for me. Mr. McGee is not only highly skilled but also genuinely cares about his clients. His professionalism, attention to detail, and clear communication made a stressful situation much easier to manage. I strongly recommend him to anyone seeking outstanding reliable traffic representation in Virginia.
