Best Lawyer in VA! 20+ over DISMISSED

Let me start off by saying what I said throughout the phone call I received from Doug post court, WOW. I cannot thank Doug enough from start to finish with my case. With several recent traffic violations and a few accidents on my record, Doug warned me of all the possible outcomes my 20+ over cha...rge, coupled with a defective brake light charge could have on my life. He provided me a list of recommended procedures from driving school, to volunteer service, and to letters of recommendations to have done on my behalf in the hopes of helping my case. His list of procedures seemed daunting at first glance, but really weren’t bad-he asked for less than a page in writing for all documents and the minimum amount of volunteer hours. I completed almost all of his procedures in the hopes that it would help him plead my case. The phone call I received post-court was filled with laughter, relief, and amazement—I couldn’t believe it: Doug McGee was able to get all charges DISMISSED! I only had to pay the $76 court fee! I was beyond thrilled and amazed with his skill. Throughout our communication, his instantly likable personality, overall communication, and seriousness with my case made our dealings seem like conversations with a good and trusted friend. Despite the seriousness of my case, every phone call was filled with laughter all the while being extremely informative. Doug was such a pleasure to work with, and I cannot thank him enough for his thoroughness and care in and for my case, as well as his concern for me as a person (how a negative outcome would have affected my life). I am so thankful I found Doug to handle my case and will recommend him to anyone with a charge in VA. THANK YOU Doug!

BEST LAWYER EVER!

I was charged with a reckless ticket going 88 in a 70 and a window tint ticket in Shenandoah, VA. I was interning out of state at the time and on the same day, someone hit my car and totaled it. Attorney Douglas McGee listened to all my problems, and really took the time to get to know me. He told me... all the things that I needed to do in order to get this dropped to the lowest charge possible. He was very responsive when I would email him asking him questions and on the day of trial, he was able to get my reckless dropped to a Traffic Infraction and have the window tint ticket completely dropped. I can't thank him enough and I recommend him- he genuinely cares about his clients!

Out of state Reckless driving ticket

Traveling from New Jersey to Tennessee during early hours of the morning I got pulled over doing 92mph in a 70mph zone. Later that week I reached out to Douglas McGee and his firm. Although not certain of the outcome he made my options very clear. They laid out a game plan of items I should get done ...before the court date (driving records, driver Saftey tests, calibration tests etc). As someone who needs his license for work I made sure to get anything done that he asked for. Douglas was able to reduce my speeding ticket by a significant amount and I am very grateful. He was a huge help for me and kept me calm during the whole process. He truly is a great guy. I will always recommend him and his firm.

Out of State Speeding Ticket

I was traveling from Maryland to Georgia in a family vacation and received a speeding ticket in Virginia for 20 over the limit, 80 in a 60 MPH zone. I looked around and read reviews for attorneys and found Douglass McGee to be highly rated. The ratings were correct. Mr. McGee did an excellent job h...andling my case. After following his very easy instructions and completing the steps he advised me to take, my case was dismissed and I didn't even have to pay court costs. Mr. McGee did an outstanding job and his communication was on point. I would highly recommend his services if you ever have the displeasure of getting a speeding ticket in Virginia.

Reckless Driving in Shenandoah VA

I hired Mr. McGee for a 100+MPH Reckless Driving charge from Shenandoah VA. From our first discussion, Mr. McGee was helpful and thorough for explaining the possible outcomes of the charge. Once I hired Mr. McGee, he sent me a list of recommendations to complete which helped me reach a more favorable... result. On my courtdate, Mr. McGee called me and kept me posted on the agreement he was able to work out with the prosecutor. As an attorney, he is respected by the judge, prosecutor and officers. Doug was able to take my recommendations into account when obtaining a plea agreement that was favorable for all involved. He also gave me alternative options to consider in the event I did not like the agreement that was reached at the time. While charges like these are very stressful for both yourself and your family, Mr. McGee is the right guy to have on your side while going through it.
