Look no further than Doug

Receiving a reckless driving ticket, I was in search for a lawyer. With concerns of this being considered a felony it was important to find the right person to handle this case. During the consultation Doug was transparent sharing the severity of the charge and his recommended actions. I was impresse...d because he called the same evening as the request to be contacted was made. Throughout the entire process he kept his word, following up as promised even with his busy schedule. The plan of action he outlined we followed to a tee. He was able to arrange a plea to a speeding of 20 over the speed limit, fine plus court costs. This was way better than the 12 months of jail time and a criminal record.

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.

Thank you!

Thank you Attorney Douglas McGee for all the help! I got into minor trouble (won’t say exactly) I felt so remorseful about it. He helped my get the case dropped and it was a better outcome than what I imagined!!

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

"I endorse Mr. McGee. He handled a civil traffic case for me with excellent results, getting case dismissed. He was always available and kept in communication during pendency of case. 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."
