What a Relief!

Doug represented my fiance for a reckless driving charge. While personable and human, he was also very professional and direct. My fiance and I had never been in a situation like this and it was incredibly reassuring to have Doug by our sides. I would highly recommend utilizing his talents if ever in... need of his service.

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!

Reckless driving

I was stopped doing 104 in a 70 on my way home from visiting family. I just didn't notice the speed. When I got home the search for an attorney started. Douglas was given my case from another lawfirm and I am glad they gave it to him. He always made time to answer my many questions and was very easy ...to talk to. He made sure i understood what consequences I could possibly face but also lead me in the right direction to help mitigate things before court. I followed all of his instructions and it payed off. With his help i went from possibly facing a year jail time with over 2000 in fines and a possible suspended license to a 250 dollar fine and court fees. He was able to get it taken down to Improper operation. All I can say is if you need an attorney Douglas is your man. I can't recommend him enough .

Great DWI/DUI and criminal defense attorney. I highly recommend!

I highly recommend Douglas McGee, if you stop reading now and hire him you will not be disappointed. I had a really bad night and made some very irresponsible choices which left me charged with Driving while intoxicated (1st Offense, elevated BAC of 0.20), Hit and Run and FELONY Grand Larceny. I ha...ve a very good job with high level security clearances, which were in jeopardy with these pending charges. I started googling best DUI lawyers in Virginia and other similar searches and came upon reviews for Mr. McGee. When I first reached out to him, he was out of town on business (I believe) but he made time to talk to me and told me that I should forward all of my case documentation to him for review and he would be in touch. I talked to multiple lawyers over the course of a week, some of whom wanted me to retain them ASAP. After reading the reviews, I wanted to at least talk to him before I made my decision, and I am glad that I did. What they say is true, he is very knowledgeable and is a straight forward person. From the beginning, he made no promises and I knew the best and worst case scenarios for my legal issues, and everything in between. He told me exactly what I should do to try and help my case (Driver Improvement Clinics, etc) and what he was going to do to see if there were any mistakes or holes in the prosecutions case and what my options going forward would be. With the corona virus causing delays in the court system, my trial was over three months after my arrest date and I could not return to work until the felony charge was resolved. The county that I was charged in, has a commonwealth attorney that is less than adequate when it comes to communications on upcoming cases and doesn’t seem to look at most cases until the day before the court date. Numerous phone calls and emails to her were left unanswered and disregarded. As my court date approached, a resolution wasn’t looking probable and I was facing more unpaid leave from work. Nevertheless, Mr. McGee was resilient, and in the end persevered and was able to arrange a plea agreement on my court date. I plead guilty to the DWI/ DUI, the hit and run was dismissed and the felony grand larceny was reduced to a misdemeanor trespassing charge! I served the bare minimum jail time for the charges, with the bare minimum restrictions for this DUI. Even after his retention (our contract time) had ended, he would answer my calls and give his advice. I’m not sure what has brought to here to this review, but if you are facing a DUI or any other similar charges, do yourself a favor and give Douglas McGee a call. You will be glad you did.
