Humanized the event leading to an severe infraction.

I was charged with reckless driving at an excessive speed. What Doug was able to do was to show that this momentary event was not a reflection of my driving history but a result of circumstances converging into a dilemma that resulted in an unintentional result. He showed that my character indicated ...a different individual from the one who was cited, guilty yes, but reckless no. I appreciated the fact that he kept me in the loop and advised me on solid steps to take to aid the Judge to seeing the whole picture and not just the immediate event. As a result of his diplomacy I am wiser and feel the outcome was just. The charge was reduced and I am grateful for his counsel and guidance.

Outstanding Attorney Gets Results

While Doug never promised me a rose garden he couldn't deliver, he put my mind at ease and had an excellent manner about him from that first consultation phone call to the last. I enjoyed talking to him. He gave me the road map for how to put myself and him in the best position get the best possibl...e results for my own reckless driving charge. While it involved some legwork on my part, it was so worth it, and he made it as easy to understand as possible. His email/text and phone follow up was timely. No one ever wants to be in the situation that caused me to be connected with Doug, but he was so friendly to chat with the couple of times that we did, I'm almost glad to have met him even this way. I am so happy with the results he was able to get for me. I would not hesitate to make that call if I ever needed such legal services again.

10/10 Outstanding Service- Reckless Driving Signficantly Reduced

I have very high praise for Doug and his abilities as a lawyer. There is a reason his reviews are filled with unending praise and positive testimonials. I am an out of state driver who found myself with a 90/70 Reckless ticket in Smyth County with a potential for severe consequences. I spent hours on... hours reading lawyer reviews and doing consultations, and it became quickly clear that Doug was the best choice. Right away you notice how knowledgeable he is and he took ample time to walk me through everything in our consultation. He has a variety of ideas and methods to help get the best result for you but I must be clear- you will need to put in extra time and effort yourself as a client. Don't expect amazing results without taking any personal action- there will be tasks. Just blindly listen to Doug and do each of his recommendations and he WILL get you a good result! My end result, you ask? Reckless w/ 6 points reduced to defective equipment w/ 0 points. 10/10 superstar lawyer
