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

I can’t believe how much he helped

I got a reckless driving ticket (96 in a work zone) on my way to Georgia due to my job I was not able to make it to the court on the date. I looked online and found mr. Douglas McGee he made contact with me and I explained what happened and why I couldn’t make it to court on the upcoming date. He was... able to work with me and help walk me through the process, and what I can do to help with the case. He was able to get my ticket from a reckless driving to a much lower speeding ticket. I am more than thankful for his work and how much he helped me. I most likely wouldn’t have gotten a better outcome from someone else. If you get a ticket I highly recommend Mr. McGee and that if he asks for anything get it done. 10/10 would choose him again or recommend someone

Miracle laywer!

I received a reckless driving ticket in Mecklenburg county, I was going 97 mph in a 70 mph zone over the 4th of July weekend driving back to PA from NC. This was my first time ever getting pulled over, let alone a ticket. I was extremely nervous and did not know how serious VA took this offense. I au...tomatically started researching lawyers and when I came across Doug and read all the wonderful reviews he has, I instantly new he was the right one to hire. Prior to hiring him I spoke with several different lawyers just to make sure I had options and went with the best one. Not one other lawyer made me feel as calm and hopeful as Doug did. He works great with communicating at a timely manner, whether that be text, e-mail, or calls. He answered all my questions and assured me he would put full effort on dropping the reckless driving ticket to a normal speeding ticket, and that was all done with little effort on my part. I unfortunately had certain life situations happen, where I could not complete all the tasks Doug recommended prior to my court date. Yet, he still managed to get the best peal he could for me. I am so happy I hired him and would do so again. If you need a lawyer in VA do not hesitate to call Doug, he will not disappoint.
