He saved my life

I was charged with marijuana possession and got an speeding ticket. My situation was extra stressful since I’m applauding for citizenship. Mt Doug walked me they all the process and bare with me all the way. We didn’t meet until court day but he was always in contact by phone and mail. He got my mari...juana possession charges dropped and on top of that my speeding ticket was downgraded to defective equipment. He got me the best outcome possible. I highly recommend him

Went Above And Beyond

I was pulled over doing 89 in a 65 which in Virginia, is a couple-hundred dollar fee, 6 points, and a misdemeanor. When I consulted with Doug, I was scared and unsure of how this case would turn out. He explained everything in a logical and reassuring way that made me comfortable and confident with h...iring him to go to my court case. He told me the different outcomes that I could expect to happen and he accomplished the best possible outcome. He got my charge reduced all the way down to a defective equipment (no brake light) charge which holds no points and was only about $250. He was very easy to contact, by phone or email, throughout the time leading up to this case and was always able to answer all my questions. I would absolutely recommend Doug for any traffic related case and if I ever need a lawyer again, he will be the first person I call.

Highly Recommend

We hired Mr. McGee to help us with our sons reckless driving charge (which if convicted he would have faced a misdemeanor charge). Since my son was applying to dental schools, this would have ruined his chances. The first time I spoke with Mr. McGee I knew he was the lawyer we needed to help us. My s...on had never even had a speeding ticket, so we really didn't know how to handle it. He explained everything to us step-by-step. He let us know what paperwork we needed to submit to him before the court date. What a wonderful man! He went to court for us and was able to have the charge reduced to defective equipment plus a small fine. We avoided the possible 6 points on our insurance and the misdemeanor charge. I highly recommend Mr. McGee if you need the best!

Superb and gets results

Hired Mr McGee in a minor traffic matter. He responded in the same day and kept in communication via email during process. He was able to negotiate a dismissal upon payment of court costs. Very pleased with his work and results.

"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."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • 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.
