Posted by Mike | April 07, 2023 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Outstanding speeding ticket defense

Knows the courts, knows the law. Took me from reckless driving to defective equipment. YMMV depending on your circumstances, but Doug McGee will provide you with the opportunity for a result like that.

Great lawyer, great guy

Smart and kind, Doug was a huge help. He laid out the process and timelines, designed a plan, and executed to perfection. Highly recommed!

DWI & Reckless Driving

I have used Mr. McGee a couple times over the last several years & again just recently. I’m not very good at writing reviews however I wanted to let everyone know he is passionate, enthusiastic, extremely intelligent, nonjudgmental, and gracious. He is great at his job and worth it!!!!!!!

Posted by B. C. | March 22, 2023 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

The best lawyer I ever had.

Not only did Douglas go above and beyond with my case, given the fact it was a 90/70 reckless driving charge on the interstate, he was able to fight my reckless driving charge down to a non-moving violation. You work with him, and he'll work with you. He guided me through the legal process with e...ase and was there to answer any question I had no matter how simple it was! He is very patient, understanding, and absolutely amazing at his job. Thank you so much, Douglas!

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

"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."

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.
