Posted by Joy | May 30, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

RD(89/70) ticket, got reduced successfully!

At the beginning of this year I was pulled over for RD(89/70) in Lexington. It was my very first ticket. I was scared when I searched online. I called a few attorneys, only Mr. Mcgee explained to my everything patiently and clearly. He was honest and helpful so I decided to choose him, and that was a... correct decision indeed! I prepared all documents under his guide and met him in the court. He got my ticket reduced to regular speeding ticket in 24 SECONDS! Unbelievable record. Should be the shortest one in Lexington County general court. This victory can only be accomplished by well experienced and highly professional attorney, like him. BTW other attorneys told me my case was almost impossible to be reduced when I called them. He even helped me jump start my car after we won the case. Mr. Mcgee is such a professional attorney with warm heart. HIRE HIM if you need help!

Hire him now!

Doug was fantastic. He kept me informed the entire time and gave me sound legal advice on what to do in my case, even late at night and on the weekends. The ticket was dismissed completely and this was due to Doug's guidance and great representation in court. Hire him now, you won't be disappointed. ...

Reckless Driving 89 in 65

I am pleased that my charge of reckless driving (89/65mph) was reduced to a traffic infraction of improper driving, thereby avoiding a misdemeanor conviction, the higher points generally associated with this charge in Virginia, and many of the other potential consequences such as jail, license suspen...sion and higher fines. I am further pleased that we were able to achieve this result without additional requirements or probation periods. The reduced ticket is the lowest level point violation possible in Virginia, which is three points, compared to the misdemeanor six point assessment. With Douge I'm sure you will be pleased with your results as well. I highly recommend Douglas McGee. He Is always very helpful and made time to talk with me even though he has a busy schedule. He is very pleasant to speak with and knowledgeable. He went all the way to Henry county for my case and he is located in Richmond. Highly recommend Douglas McGee!

Very Helpful!

I received a speeding ticket in Southhampton County while visiting VA from out of state. Doug was always very honest about the possible outcomes of my case. He was very clear on what documents he needed from me and how they may help me. Doug communicated and kept me updated about my case from the day... I first called him until my court date. Thanks to Doug my ticket was completely dropped. Doug was a pleasure to work with, and I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Military Friendly Lawyer

I was charged with Reckless Driving in Southampton County (86/60) while on Military travel orders. Luckily I was referred to Doug and I could not be more grateful for how he handled my case. What I admired most was his honesty and his commitment to offer my case the personal attention that was requir...ed. I was not just one of many cases on his plate. Doug communicated clearly with me up front about all of the documents he needed to best support me and maintained communication throughout so that I knew exactly what I needed to provide. Doug was able to argue my charges to be dropped completely without so much as a speeding ticket. I can vouch for Doug's willingness to work with Military members and any case where the client lives out of state. I give Doug my strongest recommendation.

"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."

  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
