Great Lawyer - Speeding ticket

I recently received a speeding ticket while driving home from a vacation with my family. Living in Charlotte, NC, I wasn't sure what options I had, but luckily, I was referred to Doug McGee. He quickly earned my trust by being: Responsive: Doug returned my call promptly and took the time to unde...rstand my situation fully. Communicative: He kept me informed throughout the process, explaining every step and answering any questions I had. Effective: Thanks to Doug's expertise, the speeding ticket was ultimately dismissed! I couldn't be happier with the outcome and highly recommend Doug McGee to anyone facing similar legal situations in Virgina. He is a professional, reliable, and truly effective lawyer.

An Absolute Hero: Reckless Reduced to Non-Moving Infraction

If you are facing a reckless driving charge (or similar) in VA, LOOK NO FURTHER THAN DOUGLAS. He helped me through a very high-stress time. I received a reckless charge in Smyth County, VA (having had *two* previous traffic tickets in VA), and yet Doug far exceeded my expectations, managing to get th...e reckless charge reduced to a mere non-moving infraction. Doug KNOWS the ins and outs of traffic courts across VA; he provides a realistic assessment of your situation and expected outcomes; and tailors his advice based on the courtroom/officer involved with your case. Follow his recommendations, he will take care of the rest, TRUST. Doug's approach is personalized; his fee is very reasonable; and he will make you feel at ease. Seriously, hire Doug asap

Great Lawyer!

I was pulled over in southern Virginia on my way to my travel job for speeding which resulted in a reckless driving ticket. I contacted Mr McGee and explained what had occurred and if he could provide legal assistance. After speaking with him I quickly understood the implications that this speeding t...icket could have on my life. I retained Mr McGee to represent me. He explained what steps I should take to help in my case which included online driver training, community service, speedometer calibration, driving records and personal references. I completed the recommendations that Mr McGee suggested and provided him with all the documentation to support my case. Mr McGee represented me on my court date and I did not have to make the long trip to Smyth County for the court appearance. The outcome of my case turned out to be very good. The reckless driving charge was dropped and I was charged with speeding 9 mph over the posted limit resulting in a small fine and court costs. I cannot thank Mr McGee enough! He did an outstanding job with my case keeping me well informed during the entire process. I highly recommend Mr McGee and would not hesitate to retain him again if the need arises.

Very understanding and knowledgeable! Highly Recommend

Doug is extremely professional, respectful, and effective. Very honest and works hard. Mr. McGee did an amazing job getting my ticket reduced to a nonmoving violation, defective equipment! He was thorough, courteous, and prompt in responding to all my questions. Highly recommend Mr. McGee if you need... legal assistance.

Exceptional Service and Result

As an out of state driver charged with a 4 point speeding violation, I did a google search for legal assistance. Believe me, Doug is THE legal counsel you need. After I filled out a form for contact, Doug called me back that same night, we talked briefly about my violation and the conversation was h...onest and straight to the point. Doug then followed up with email outlining exactly what we talked about and some steps that I should complete to help mitigate the case. Due to my schedule, I was unable to complete the mitigating steps requested and did not expect leniency from the courts. Despite giving Doug very little to work with in the courtroom, he successfully argued on my behalf for a defective equipment charge. I could not be happier with the level of service, communication and result from Douglas McGee. Thank you!

  • 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.
