Reckless driving in Brunswick county - 96/70

I got a reckless driving ticket in Brunswick county. I have approached around 10 lawyers in the area but no body was willing to take up my case because 96/70 is goner in that county. But when I consulted with McGee, he clearly mentioned all the things I have to do and also set my expectations pragmat...ic. I instantly felt better after his call. I did all the things he mentioned, went to the court and my reckless driving charge was knocked down to a moving violation which is the least one could get in Virginia

Couldn’t ask for a better lawyer

I had been charged with a DUI in Shenandoah county with a .15 BAC. Doug was great from the start explaining exactly what I should expect and prepare for. This was my first charge so I was unaware of the consequences. Doug explained what I should do to be proactive and he also made sure I understood w...hat his steps were. Long story short, he got my case reduced to a wreck less driving. WOW!!! I’m still surprised he made that happen. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for top notch legal help. Mr. McGee, your the best. Thank you again.

Spectacular Lawyer- Mr. Doug McGee

I live in Maryland and just returned from my court day in Sussex Virginia. I am very glad Mr. Doug McGee was by my side. I was charged with reckless driving on my way to Outer Banks with my family a few weeks ago. I simply did not see the sudden change in the speed limit and got caught in a speed t...rap (nice start to vacation). The officer cited me as reckless and stated I would have to come to court. I had absolutely no idea what any of this meant. I had never even had a speeding ticket. After researching it (yes, while on vacation), I realized I was being criminally charged, which was unbelievable to me. Furthermore, I am a professional who cannot have any such record on my background, as it is checked regularly. I also knew none in Virginia. I reached out to several lawyers (for the first time ever to represent me). Mr. McGee was the only one that returned my call promptly and spent nearly 40 minutes educating me and explaining that I had to take it serious but that we would be okay, all without charging me. He was polite, professional and very patient with my ignorance on this whole matter. He advised me meticulously on court preparation and what I needed before we appeared in from of the judge. After I spoke to him I felt much better and hired him. He was available to me at all times as needed. I completed all his instructions. Today, in court, he was phenomenal. He pleaded our case and my background to the judge and was able to persuade him to drop the reckless without need for additional community service. Let me add, this judge was very good and experienced, but not easily persuaded as I saw with other defendants. I also got to observe other lawyers representing other defendants and I must say, I knew I had selected the right lawyer. Mr. McGee is an experienced go to lawyer who happens to also be a good man, as I got to know him today. Do yourself a favor and take the charges serious and hire this serious lawyer. I hope I never go through this again, but he is my lawyer in the future, should the need arise. Overall, his fee was very reasonable for the spectacular representation. Thank you Mr. McGee.

Reckless driving

I was charged with reckless driving 100/70. Mr. Douglas was able to reduce the charge to improper driving and avoid jail time. At first, I went to another attorney who almost screwed up my case. The attorney never told me what was going on and finally called to inform me that I might have to go to ja...il. I was so anxious because a misdemeanor would have a significant impact on my future career not to mention going to jail. Then I decided to get a second opinion, and I am glade I found Mr. Douglas. He called me personally to understand about my case. He is very responsive, always keep me updated on my case. He told me what I needed to do, I followed his advice, and the outcome is amazing. He would go above and beyond to make sure that he could get the best possible outcome for me, which he did. I am glade that I decided to hire him to represent me. He is awesome and I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Look no Further!

When I got my speeding ticket in Bland, VA (83 in a 70) on a Saturday afternoon (my first day of vacation) I was freaking out, to say the least. I learned this charge was considered a misdemeanor and started frantically calling attorneys. Of course with it being over the weekend I was unsuccessful ...with talking to someone directly at that time. I had spoken to someone at the Price Benowitz office and was told someone would return my call. Then, Doug’s call came through Saturday evening. He left me a detailed message that calmed my nerves. I was shocked that he took the time to return my call on a weekend evening. We spoke a couple days later for more than 30 minutes. I never felt like he was rushing to get off the phone or had ulterior motives. He was compassionate, friendly, and knowledgeable. Even though I got a great feeling from him, I looked around a bit more to see what my other options were (which was a waste of time). I never got the same kind of feeling and communication as I did from Doug. He was persistent in getting me the best possible outcome and kept me up to date on my case. My charge was reduced to a non-moving violation and I am thrilled! I cannot thank Doug enough for his expertise and guidance throughout the process! If you are looking for a great, reasonably priced attorney, look no further!
