Reckless Driving dismissed with no charges.

Hired Doug Mcgee to represent me in a reckless driving charge I picked up after hydroplaining into a guard rail while getting off at an exit. Doug walked me through the process of how everything would go down. Had me provide lots of documentation highlighting my character, extended training, certific...ations for my job and volunteer work I provide for my community. Doug discussed with the Prosecutor and got them to agree to press for a lesser charge while still pleading not guilty. Doug showed the discrepancies behind the accident, the quality my character and the steps I had already taken to make sure damages were covered, that I had completed a reckless driving class ahead of the trial and done everything I could to make this right. In the end the judge declared, "it was a very rare day" that he'd dismissed the charges. No cost. Thank you your hard work. I would gladly have you represent me again.

1st offense DUI dropped to a reckless

Highly recommend, very good lawyer. I was facing jail time and a DUI. I was almost late for my hearing by the time I got there I just walked straight up front in front of the judge. Doug whispered to me and said I got everything dropped to a reckless driving and some community service.

Look no further, here’s your attorney.

I drive commercially & found myself into a plethora of ordeals ranging from minor citations to major traffic violations over the span of a 1 year time frame...........was dealing with a divorce during the time. With having complied to the best of my ability with all that Doug asked of me, all went we...ll, far exceeded my expectations. Not once did he judge me or ridicule/ ostracize me. I appreciate him greatly for all that he’s done. By far the best attorney that I’ve hired.

Reckless Driving

Pulled over doing 92 in a 70. In the last year of my contract with the Air Force I was worried about a reckless driving charge affecting my ability to find employment. Doug got my reckless driving charge down to a non moving violation. Would go to him again in a heartbeat.

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.

I contacted other lawyers before deciding on Mr. McGee and can tell you if you have a case in his area call him first, you will be satisfied."
