Drug Possession Charge

Definitely was a great help even gave me some advice before I even paid and got my misdemeanor thrown out asap and felony was dismissed without me even having to appear in court.

My Experience with Doug

Recently I found myself in a situation where a lawyer would be very convenient. I was charged with reckless driving in Virginia and was not going to be able to stand in for the court date due to being sent out of the area for training. After browsing a few websites I came across one and made a few ca...lls leading me to Doug. Him and I had a pleasant conversation discussing what had happened. Due to being military he told me what options I had and what documents I should send him, and after discussing a few more things I stated that I was interested in hiring him. He was very understanding and respectful to me despite my age and inexperience with matters such as these and helped me understand more of the legality behind it all. After hiring him he consistently stayed in touch with me and provided me useful updates pertaining to my case. In the end he was even able to get my case dismissed. Overall I would say that my experience with him was great. He was respectful, understanding, informative, and nothing less than a great lawyer to hire.

Highly recommend!

He help me get my reckless driving in VA Beach reduced when everyone else with this particular judge was getting jail time and non-reduced sentences. Very easy to talk to and was always available for me when I had questions.

Personable

Through getting to know me and my situation (all over the phone, email, or text) Doug was able to plead my case effectively to get my charge reduced to the lowest possible outcome. Very grateful to Doug for his personable demeanor, making me feel like his only client!

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.
