Speeding thru Virginia

While driving through Virginia on the way back to NC from a dear friend’s funeral, l was ticketed for speeding in Washington County. I was referred to Mr McGee and he handled the entire process with incredible efficiency and professionalism. He could not have been more helpful, and while l hope l wil...l never need his services in the future, he would be the first man to call if l do!! John

Great Lawyer - Good Outcome

I had the pleasure of being represented by Mr. Douglas McGee for my reckless driving case in Virginia, and I couldn’t have asked for a better attorney. From the very beginning, he was knowledgeable, straightforward, and honest about my options and possible outcomes. He guided me through the entire pr...ocess with clear communication, professionalism, and genuine care for my situation. His expertise and strategic approach made all the difference in achieving the best possible result in my case. I highly recommend Mr. McGee to anyone in need of a skilled and dependable defense attorney.

Wonderful Lawyer

Doug was extremely helpful to me and helped me to see that even though I had committed traffic violations there was much that I could do to make my cases look better to the prosecutor. He always answered all of my questions and treated me with kindness and grace. I highly recommend him!

Exceptional Representation

I’m extremely grateful for the excellent representation I received from Mr. Douglas McGee. I was charged for reckless driving (92/70), and thanks to his expertise and guidance, the charge was successfully reduced to defective equipment. Throughout the process, Mr. McGee was thorough, responsive, and ...knowledgeable about the local court system. He provided clear instructions and answered my questions patiently. I highly recommend Mr. McGee to anyone facing similar traffic charges in Virginia.

10/10 Outstanding Service- Reckless Driving Signficantly Reduced

I have very high praise for Doug and his abilities as a lawyer. There is a reason his reviews are filled with unending praise and positive testimonials. I am an out of state driver who found myself with a 90/70 Reckless ticket in Smyth County with a potential for severe consequences. I spent hours on... hours reading lawyer reviews and doing consultations, and it became quickly clear that Doug was the best choice. Right away you notice how knowledgeable he is and he took ample time to walk me through everything in our consultation. He has a variety of ideas and methods to help get the best result for you but I must be clear- you will need to put in extra time and effort yourself as a client. Don't expect amazing results without taking any personal action- there will be tasks. Just blindly listen to Doug and do each of his recommendations and he WILL get you a good result! My end result, you ask? Reckless w/ 6 points reduced to defective equipment w/ 0 points. 10/10 superstar lawyer

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
