Posted by Brian | July 25, 2021 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Knowledgeable and patient.

I had a wreckless driving charge out in Shenandoah County it was my first offence that severe and I was very nervous about the outcome. I contacted several lawyers and Doug was the most prompt and professional that I delt with. He was highly competent and knew the Shenandoah area and its laws well. H...e made time for my MANY questions and concerns and while the answers where not always the most comforting they were well informed and honest. In the end he got my wreckless ticket bumped down to a significantly less severe charge. The judge that tried my case literally said I was lucky to have him as my lawyer. Follow his instructions and I'm sure he'll do his best for you.

Wreckless driving charge dismissed!!

I received a wreckless driving charge after I rear ended someone and after reaching out to a few firms Doug was the first person that actually explained the process and made me feel important. Through out the entire process he was very transparent and thorough! Leading up to my court date he explaine...d possible out comes and what I needed to do to mitigate them. During the hearing he was on it and made sure I knew exactly what was going on (this was my first time going to court ever). —-The hearing ended with the judge dismissing the case. —-post hearing we sat down and he explained everything that just happened and what to expect next. He was up front and honest the entire time!!

Dui/refusal to blow & a reckless driving ticket

All charges were dropped to a reckless and community service, and I kept my license with not restrictions, which was really outstanding. He had a me do a lot of homework but it allowed him to understand me and my situation and background and used that to form the best case he could and he did a ...spectacular job. Hire Doug, but make sure to give him detailed homework because it really helps and he’s a kind and caring person who does his job exceedingly well.

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.
