Posted by Jarod | October 18, 2022 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Out of State Reckless Driving

I was charged with reckless driving for going 86 in a 70 on I-81 in Shenandoah County, VA. I hired Mr. McGee, who was extremely kind and understanding. He immediately laid out a strategic plan which included steps for me to complete, such as acquiring my complete driving record and completing an onli...ne driving class. He appeared on my behalf in court and he was able to reduce the charge to faulty equipment, a non-moving violation! I could not have asked for a better outcome nor a better lawyer. Mr. McGee is an excellent attorney and I highly recommend him if you are in need of help for a traffic violation.

Out of state reckless driving

Doug helped me through every step of the process from beginning to end, answering every question I had as well. He was on top of my case and managed to reduce it to a non-moving violation. He is obviously a person who takes pride in his work and shows empathy to his clients. I couldn’t recommend hi...m more.

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.

Great lawyer

Living in NJ and getting a ticket in VA where I was expected to show up in court, I was at a loss of how to make that happen. With a little bit of work on our end and all of Doug’s help and guidance he was able to show up in person for the court date in my place and have the ticket decreased to a sma...ll fine. I would highly recommend!

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.
