Great experience from start to finish and got great results of of my case!

I had my brakes go out on the interstate back in November and luckily no injuries or serious damages came of it but I was still charged with reckless driving. I started looking for lawyers local to the area and I honestly don't think I could've found a better choice. As soon as I got in contact he ex...plained what to do in the situation for the best results and gave some great advice on things to do leading up to the court date. Throughout the whole process he was quick to respond to any questions or concerns I had and when the court date finally came he even saved me the long trip back to Virginia and got my misdemeanor charge reduced to faulty equipment without me even having to be there in person. I highly recommend Douglas McGee to anyone in a situation like mine because thanks to him it went smoothly from start to finish and a charge that could've resulted in big fines and even jail time got reduced to a small fine plus fees and nothing more, I couldn't have asked for better results!

Smyth County VA 92/70 RD Charge

Highly recommend working with Doug! He got my RD charge dropped from a first-class misdemeanor to a speeding ticket in a notoriously difficult area of Virginia. He was extremely professional and outlined the entire process as well as recommended steps for me to take ahead of the court summons clearly.... As I was out of state, he also attended the summons in my absence and updated me immediately upon its conclusion.

85/70 Speeding Dismissed

Excellent is an understatement. I got a speeding ticket for 85/70 in Smyth County while on my way from NJ to TN. Doug worked his magic & got the ticket dismissed. Doug is extremely experienced & very responsive. He gave superb advice & very pleasant to work with. Could not be happier with the outcom...e. Highly recommended!

Dear Mr. Douglas McGee

Hello, I live in New York, I am Colombian, and on a trip to Texas while driving I was stopped in Smyth County by a police officer and that was when I hired the services of attorney Douglas McGee and he immediately helped me with my case, (Reduction of Smyth County Misdemeanor Reckless driving (101 mp...h in a 70 mph zone) to traffic ticket). Avoiding a possible jail sentence, reduced to improper driving, thus avoiding a misdemeanor conviction, double Virginia points and higher fines. In addition, the attorney handled my entire case in my absence, since I live and work in New York. I am very grateful to him for everything he was able to help me with in my case. Thank you for all your professionalism!! Thank you very much! 100% recommended!!

Personal Attention and Awesome Results!

We retained Mr. McGee to assist our soon-to-be college student for a serious traffic matter. He was prompt in taking our call, offered his services at an affordable price, gave us step-by-step instructions on what he needed to defend the case, and his hard work resulted in a serious misdemeanor (rec...kless driving) being reduced to a faulty equipment violation. He was a pleasure to work with and maintained a personal connection throughout the case and after. I cannot say enough about how pleased we were with his services.
