91/70 Reckless Driving Reduced to Non-Moving Violation

I was charged with Reckless Driving Speeding 91/70 in Shenandoah County, and among all the lawyers I spoke to try and get this charge reduced, Doug was by far the best and gave me a reasonable price. He explained to me what to realistically expect from this process and sent a detailed list of recomme...nded actions to take prior to the court date, which he pushed out a couple of months in order to give enough time. While I was getting together the materials needed for court, Doug would promptly answer any questions I had really well, and I felt a lot better about the situation having him on my side. On the court date, Doug put in a great amount of effort to get me an incredible result which I was not expecting at all. Doug is an excellent and talented lawyer who is absolutely the right person to hire for your case. I am truly grateful to Doug for helping me get through this process seamlessly.

TOTAL SATISFACTION

If you have a problem, Doug is The Man. Doug helped me out of situation that could have ended in many different ugly scenarios ... I received a speeding ticket of 93 in a 70 in possibly the worst county for sentencing in VA .... it could have been jail or reckless driving, loss of license in VA and... who knows what would have followed in my home state ... Doug went to the mat for me ... He gave me a list of things I could do to help, as well as having attended multiple court appearances and came away with a decision I would not have thought was possible. Doug, thanks so much for everything .. I am glad we met and will always consider you a friend Thanks Bill

Case Dismissed

I had 88/60 speeding ticket in VA. Doug helped me get out of the ticket with no fine, no record on DL, no insurance increase. He helped me understand the nature of the case and what to expect. Also gave me plan of action ahead of court date. The ticket is dismissed with 6 months probation and 28 hour... community service. Couldn’t ask for better. He is your go to guy for traffic offense in VA.

Highly Recommended

Mr. McGee was extremely knowledgeable and well prepared. He did an excellent job in obtaining a reduced charge in a reckless driving case. I highly recommend him.

101/65 Reckless Driving

Mr. McGee was an absolute pleasure to work with. He gave me a detailed plan of action and steps to take to help me mitigate this charge. This charge could have gotten me a misdemeanor conviction, jail, license suspension by the court, and significantly higher fines. Through his diligence and resource...fulness we were able to get the charged dropped to just Speeding 95/65 with a reduced fine of $250. Mr. McGee is a very knowledgeable Attorney and well worth the money and fully explained each step of the process to me. My advice for anyone is to not give up no matter what you are convicted of and if you follow the mitigating factors Mr. McGee gives you, you’ll have a fighting chance.
