Friendly, Great Results, Great Choice

Called a lot of different firms for my case. Doug got back to me and was straightforward about what he thought he could do, even gave me bits of history about the courthouse which was cool. Super friendly and everything was straightforward. Would recommend to anyone.

Great choice

Doug represented me in a speeding case, in which my offense got knocked down to equipment malfunction. Doug was friendly, explained all the steps I needed to take, and told me what the outcome would most likely be. If I ever need representation in Virginia again, I’m definitely going to Doug.

Best Choice I Ever Made

I got a ticket for going 85 in a 60 mph work zone in rural Virginia. I had planned on paying the fine, but I hadn't realized how serious it was! I live in Alabama part time, and work as a waitress. I used to work for a law firm, who recommended Doug to me. Thank gosh they did! He was able to appear ...in court on my behalf so I didn't have to drive all that way and miss work, and my charge was reduced to faulty equipment! Which is a fine that's significantly easier to pay for someone working for tips. He was super communicative, and gave me clearly outlined prep steps to ensure the best outcome. Super nice person too! I'll use him for any Virginia traffic needs I have forever!

Mr. McGee is the best attorney for speeding in Virginia!

I was charged with Reckless Driving (80MPH in a 55MPH) Mr. McGee was able to get it reduced to to Speeding (69 MPH) thereby avoiding a misdemeanor conviction, potential jail, license suspension, additional Virginia points and higher fines. The ticked I had to pay was $250 compared to a Reckless Drivi...ng ticket which can cost up to $2,500 in Virginia. He is extremely easy to work with, has excellent communication skills and provides clear and easy to follow instructions. If you follow Mr. McGee’s instructions I am sure you will be very happy with the outcome. If I could give him six stars I would it was a pleasure working with him.

Highly recommend

I hired Doug McGee after being charged with failing to move over a lane for a police vehicle parked on the side of the road. I didn't think I had time to get over, so I slowed down to 15 mph below the speed limit, but still found myself charged with a Class I Misdemeanor and a mandatory court date i...n Virginia (I was visiting from Texas). Doug responded promptly, treated me with kindness and understanding, and told me exactly what to do to get the best results in my case. He neither sugarcoated nor exaggerated the situation, but gave me realistic expectations of the range outcomes I could expect based on his years of experience and knowledge of the particular court I was dealing with. Doug was able to waive my appearance in court and represent me in my absence, saving me additional expense and stress. He requested a lot of prep work from me (driver improvement classes, community service, etc.), but I followed all of his suggestions and achieved an even better result than he expected - complete dismissal of the charge following 6 months of clean driving. Doug is truly gifted at what he does. He is a person of great integrity and compassion who treats his clients, the police, and all members of the court system with the utmost respect and calls out the best in each person to bring about a resolution.

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."

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.
