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!

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.

NJ license Reckless 80/55 in Virginia to Infraction 64/55

When I received the ticket I was baffled since it being my first every ticket. It was reckless by speed ticket and I wasn't aware of it being a Misdemeanor in Virginia. I tried contacting many law firms and Douglas was the only one who was confident and prompt with his replies. He initially gave alot... of information for free and made me confident about my case. Once I officially signed an agreement with him. He gave a proper list of things to prepare and was on point with communication. He represented me for the case and I did not have to travel all the way from NJ. This reduction in charge saved me from accumulating large number of points and a criminal history.

Knowledgeable and Invested

Mr. McGee is thorough, knowledgeable, and highly capable. He explained everything about my case. He didn't try to paint a pretty picture. He gave it to me real. He set out the game plan and he executed it. His diligence saved my Trucking company thousands of dollars. I highly recommend Mr. McGee.

Absolutely recommend

It was a great pleasure having Doug work my case and I absolutely would recommend him to anyone with a VA ticket. I got a wreck less driving ticket for 96/70 in Shenandoah. Found Doug online and when we spoke he was very realistic and assuring on the proper procedure and expectations I could tell rig...ht away compared to the somewhat cheaper online services that don’t do much that going with him was absolutely worth the few extra bucks. I really appreciated his care for detail and focus as he treats each case as if it’s his only case and really gets full attention. I was provided a list of recommended work to prepare for my case and although I wasn’t able to get everything completed Doug still was able to work his best with what I was able to provide and still had gotten a reduced charge that I am more than happy with. With Doug’s strong community ties I definitely don’t think it would be worth the risk to go with anybody else if found in a similar situation to mine as VA’s driving tickets are not taken lightly and carry some very scary and real consequences if not taken seriously.
