Reckless Driving dismissed with no charges.

Hired Doug Mcgee to represent me in a reckless driving charge I picked up after hydroplaining into a guard rail while getting off at an exit. Doug walked me through the process of how everything would go down. Had me provide lots of documentation highlighting my character, extended training, certific...ations for my job and volunteer work I provide for my community. Doug discussed with the Prosecutor and got them to agree to press for a lesser charge while still pleading not guilty. Doug showed the discrepancies behind the accident, the quality my character and the steps I had already taken to make sure damages were covered, that I had completed a reckless driving class ahead of the trial and done everything I could to make this right. In the end the judge declared, "it was a very rare day" that he'd dismissed the charges. No cost. Thank you your hard work. I would gladly have you represent me again.

Reckless Driving

Pulled over doing 92 in a 70. In the last year of my contract with the Air Force I was worried about a reckless driving charge affecting my ability to find employment. Doug got my reckless driving charge down to a non moving violation. Would go to him again in a heartbeat.

Excellent Attention!!

I was coming from my vacation from NC to CT and I was stopped for doing 88 in a 70 zone. I had no idea it is considered Reckless Driving in Virginia. I called few law firms and I did not get much info besides how much their fees were even after having a consultation with them. Doug McGee was the only... attorney who I contacted who explained the process to me and took the time to reassure me I was in good hands. He was with me each step of the way. Any questions or concerns I had he was there to answer them. If anybody else is having an issue like this I 100% recommend Doug McGee. He made the process easily and the money you will be paying him isn't anything compared to the consequences you would face if convicted.

Successfully reduced speeding charge

Driving through VA on the way to Florida, I was pulled over and given a speeding ticket. Upon researching, I found that it was actually a charge for Reckless Driving, which is a misdemeanor. I immediately called a few lawyers that looked reputable. Doug called me back that same day and walked me thro...ugh the process. If you ever get a ticket in the area, you will receive TONS of solicitations from lawyers in the area. Doug never gave off that "salesy" vibe which was much appreciated. He seemed knowledgable and experienced - and I did everything he suggested. On the date of my hearing, Doug called with good news - the charge was reduced to a non-moving violation. I would recommend Doug McGee to anyone in need of an attorney in the area.

Reckless driving with a CDL

I was on my way home from vacation when I was passing through Bristol, VA in my personal vehicle going 88 in a 70. Needless to say I ended up getting a reckless driving ticket. Since I was living in Florida I could not make the court date so I started searching for lawyers online and found Douglas Pa...trick McGee. I'm glad I did, because he was able to get the ticket dropped down from 88 to 79 in a 70 which means I wasn't charged reckless driving and a misdemeanor did not go on my record. I was surprised since I have had 5 tickets in 5 years. I would definitely recommend hiring Douglas Patrick McGee for any traffic related legal issues. Douglas Patrick McGee
