Reckless driving/expired registration

Mr. Mcgee was able to help me out despite the fact that I contacted him close to the court date. He informed me of everything I needed to do to reduce my ticket. I received a reckless driving ticket for doing 92 in a 65. I didn't know my speedometer was off until I was pulled over. Mr. Mcgee recommen...ded a place to get my speedometer tested which was a big help since I'm from out of state and other states don't do speedometer testing. Following all of his recommendations, the judge reduced the charges to a defective equipment violation, which puts 0 points on my driving record, doesn't require community service, or probation. I highly recommend this lawyer and appreciate the work he has done.

He is strongly recommended

Mr. Douglas P. McGee is an incredible person—extremely professional, highly knowledgeable, and an expert in his field. Just leave everything to him and witness the miracle—every fine, every traffic penalty point, all canceled! But it’s not just about doing his job exceptionally well. He possesses ...all the great qualities that come with being a wonderful human being. His warm smile and understanding approach instantly relieve your stress. Talking to him doesn’t feel like consulting a lawyer; it feels like chatting with a family member. With his high level of empathy and positive energy, he uplifts you and instills a deep sense of trust. We are truly fortunate to have met and worked with him. I wholeheartedly recommend him to everyone. Hopefully, no one will ever need a lawyer, but if you do, Mr. Douglas P. McGee is the one—don’t bother looking for anyone else!

Hire Doug now

I can't recommend Doug highly enough! I had a traffic ticket that I was really hoping to get reduced or dismissed, and Doug absolutely delivered. From the very first conversation, they were professional, knowledgeable, and confident—and they made the whole process completely stress-free for me. No...t only did they communicate clearly and quickly, but they also handled everything on my behalf, saving me a ton of time and hassle. The outcome was better than I could have hoped for, and I’m incredibly grateful for their help. If you ever find yourself in a situation with a traffic ticket or any legal issue, do yourself a favor and call Doug. They’re the real deal—efficient, professional, and they get results. Highly recommended!

Doug is awesome!

I received a speeding ticket in VA and was looking at serious charges. I was very concerned and quite frankly afraid because I’d never experienced anything like this before. I contacted Doug and from our initial conversation, Doug was very knowledgeable, transparent and professional. He made me a...ware of all of the pros and cons of my case. Most importantly, Doug eased me concerns by ensuring me that he’d do his best. At the first court date, Doug was able to get my charges reduced, I paid the fine and the case was closed. Afterwards, Doug and I chatted for a bit bringing closure to the case. The biggest takeaway from this entire experience is that Doug is such an awesome person, with great energy, and full of positivity. He gives you the hard truth but he’s very optimistic and seeks the best outcome. It was such a pleasure meeting him and working with him. I’d recommend Doug 100 times over to anyone who needs legal representation in any of his fields of expertise.

Reckless Driving over 90mph reduced to 'Defective Equipment'

I was pulled over on i-80 in Virginia going 93 in a 70 zone. With Doug's guidance, he was able to get my ticket down to 'defective equipment'. Which is the equivalent to a tail light bulb being out. He recommended I take the 8 and 4-hour driving retraining courses. As well as, perform community s...ervice and have my vehicles speed calibrated. I accomplished all of those tasks and Doug was able to use that to get my reckless Driving charge reduced to the non-moving violation. I just had to pay court costs and fines. My vehicles speed ended up being 4mph off which helped greatly. So, I would highly recommend taking the time to get that done if you can. Doug, is knowledgeable, punctual, and professional. He made the whole process less painful than it had to be by following his guidance. I would absolutely recommend Doug if you need an attorney for a reckless Driving charge.
