Very helpful and thorough

I was about to give in to pay my fine and a friend recommended Douglas McGee. He was to the point with his directions and was available along the way to help with questions. Which was very helpful for any busy individual. No guess work, he spelled everything out. Very pleased with his professional ex...pertise and his follow through. You’ll definitely be pleased.

Outstanding Representation and Remarkable Results!

I can’t say enough good things about my experience working with Doug McKee. He was able to have my reckless driving misdemeanor charge reduced all the way down to a 0-point defective equipment—a truly incredible outcome. From start to finish, Doug was professional, responsive, and easy to work with. ...He set realistic expectations, explained every step of the process clearly, and followed through on everything he promised. What stood out most was how thorough and genuinely invested he was in my case. Doug went above and beyond to ensure the best possible result, and I’m so grateful for his expertise and dedication. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a skilled, trustworthy attorney.

Class 1 Misdemeanor reckless driving charge reduced

I am from out of state and received a reckless driving misdemeanor ticket while traveling during a summer holiday. I was extremely stressed and worried about the consequences until I consulted Douglas. His guidance, clear explanations, and strategic recommendations immediately put me at ease and help...ed reduce the ticket. Douglas is highly knowledgeable, calm, and professional. I spoke with several attorneys before him, and none provided the level of insight and reassurance that he did. Even with his busy schedule, he consistently remained responsive to emails and messages. I am truly grateful for his help and would highly recommend him to anyone in need of legal representation.

Reckless Driving 97/65

Great communication and great advice. I took all his actions that he told me to complete. By doing so he was able to knock my 97/65 Reckless driving down to a non-moving violation.

Reckless Driving charge 87 mph in 70 mph zone

Highly recommend. Doug communicated clearly and accurately throughout the entire process. He made no guarantees, but provided range of possible outcomes and guidance on what we could do to help the case. Final result my reckless driving (class 1 misdemeanor) reduced to defective equipment. Highly... recommend!

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.
