Outstanding lawyer!

Doug was very honest with me from the moment I hired him. Being out of state and having a previous DUI charge was two of my biggest worries, but I didn’t have any doubts. My reckless driving misdemeanor, 89 in a 55, was reduced to an infraction, 74 in a 55. I am extremely grateful for Doug. Highly r...ecommended! Thank you.

Stellar guy

I caught a "reckless by speed" on rt. 3 in King George County...... 76 in a 45 zone. There were clear indications that something with the stop was fishy. One being I didn't get pulled over for 2.2 miles from where I was supposedly clocked, and more. I called around for about a week, talking with ...attorneys. Spoke with Doug one evening and he literally dropped what he was doing and spent about 40 minutes explaining his view, the possible outcomes and various things I could do to better my position. First hearing Doug could tell something was off, I as well had not completed one of my tasks, which was an online class. Doug got the trial postponed and even got the Judge to scratch his previous markings! Month later, second hearing, I finished up the class, Doug explained me very well (which I do have alot on my side, no tickets for 15 years, no points, good job, single father etc.) and the Judge literally asked "Mr. McGee, what do you want me to do here?" No bullspit.... Doug asked for a 30.1 so I walked out with NO POINTS AND $100 fine!! Completely unheard of in VA, as far as I am aware of. This could have been devastating for me, 6 points, thousands in fines, possible jail time. Doug nailed it! He is well connected and respected in the system, which was evident. He will spend as long as it takes explaining details. Very down to earth. Even if this did not work out this well, I would still have 5 stars up. Thanks Doug!!!!!

Excellent at what he does

Doug is an incredible attorney and great person. He has helped me and my family/friends on numerous cases, all with amazing results. He genuinely cares about his clients and works tirelessly on getting the best outcomes. His experience in the region makes him your best choice for your legal needs. He... loves his job and works around the clock to deliver professional and winning representation. I consider him a powerful lawyer and prominent friend.

Excellent Service

To be very honest I was scared of a speeding ticket, finding out that you can get jail time or suspended license scared me, ever since I contacted Doug and had him help me with the case felt alot better, knowing that he can and will do the best he can to have your back and make sure you're life is al...ot easier. Highly recommend Doug. Hoping I wont have to contact him about more court dates but, he will be the one I will contact for sure if I ever need him

Hit & Run, driving on suspended, etc.

Doug is such an amazing lawyer. My husband and I were referred to him by a close friend and we are so grateful for him. My husband was driving on a suspended license due to not having insurance coverage. He was driving us home one day when our tires slid on ice and ended up hitting two vehicles. My h...usband had and anxiety attack and fled the scene and could not take his foot off the gas. The entire situation was a mess and we just knew to expect the worse. With Doug as our back bone, my husbands felony was dropped to a misdemeanor, no jail time and no suspended license. Never in our lives did we feel so secure to know Doug would handle everything the way he should. Every phone call and text message was answered. I would recommend him to anyone! Doug, thank you for everything. You’re truly a blessing!
