Excellent Attention!!

I was coming from my vacation from NC to CT and I was stopped for doing 88 in a 70 zone. I had no idea it is considered Reckless Driving in Virginia. I called few law firms and I did not get much info besides how much their fees were even after having a consultation with them. Doug McGee was the only... attorney who I contacted who explained the process to me and took the time to reassure me I was in good hands. He was with me each step of the way. Any questions or concerns I had he was there to answer them. If anybody else is having an issue like this I 100% recommend Doug McGee. He made the process easily and the money you will be paying him isn't anything compared to the consequences you would face if convicted.

Miracle laywer!

I received a reckless driving ticket in Mecklenburg county, I was going 97 mph in a 70 mph zone over the 4th of July weekend driving back to PA from NC. This was my first time ever getting pulled over, let alone a ticket. I was extremely nervous and did not know how serious VA took this offense. I au...tomatically started researching lawyers and when I came across Doug and read all the wonderful reviews he has, I instantly new he was the right one to hire. Prior to hiring him I spoke with several different lawyers just to make sure I had options and went with the best one. Not one other lawyer made me feel as calm and hopeful as Doug did. He works great with communicating at a timely manner, whether that be text, e-mail, or calls. He answered all my questions and assured me he would put full effort on dropping the reckless driving ticket to a normal speeding ticket, and that was all done with little effort on my part. I unfortunately had certain life situations happen, where I could not complete all the tasks Doug recommended prior to my court date. Yet, he still managed to get the best peal he could for me. I am so happy I hired him and would do so again. If you need a lawyer in VA do not hesitate to call Doug, he will not disappoint.

He is a blessing!!

It is so hard to find a good lawyer who cares. He helped me with a very complicated situation in a very difficult time for me. He is so professional, he is so compassionate, nice, and funny. He takes the time to explain everything, you can contact him over the weekends, I have not enough words to ex...plain how thankful I am for all his help and his kind words. He is a blessing and I pray that God bless him and the ones he loved always!!

Excellent and caring attorney!

It Is difficult the find an excellent attorney and it is more difficult to find a caring one. We were lucky to find Doug McGee! He is both! He was able to knock off a $27000 overweight fine to almost nothing! He worked tiresly to get our case the best shot. He is honest and hardworkkng. We are greatf...ul and will always highly recommend his services.

Reckless driving charge reduced to improper control

Doug really helped me with my reckless driving ticket(97/70) in symth county VA. He worked with me closely, giving professional advice, emotional support throughout my tough times and ultimately reduced the charge to improper control. I am glad I believe other people's review and gave him a chance to... demonstrate his professionalism in my case. Talk with Doug, he knows his job. God bless you, from all of us in my family.
