Reckless in construction zone down to NonmovingTicket

Doug is the absolute best. He was so calming and helpful throughout the whole process! I can't thank him enough for his help and guidance during a stressful situation. He gave very thorough and thoughtful advice. I would recommend him to anyone!

Best Lawyer EVER

Honestly, I would give him a higher score if i could. As an out-of-state driver who happened to pass by Smyth County, VA, and was unlucky enough to receive a ticket, Doug was there for me from start to finish. Out of many Lawyers who consulted me, Doug was the only one who laid down the facts, explai...ned to me step by step to make sure I understood everything, as took the time to reassure me. He obviously can't promise any outcomes, but he provides well-detailed steps in mitigating the outcome. 10/10 would recommend to anyone, got my misdemeanor reduced to defective.

91/70 Speeding & Reckless Driving - Out of state

I am from out of state, and was traveling over a summer holiday. I was pulled over for 91/70 - which is classified as reckless driving. I was so scared of what was to come, and wasn’t sure who I could trust for help in this situation. Mr. McGee has so many 5 star reviews, and I can see why. He is a v...ery pleasant individual to talk to. He’s straightforward and knowledgeable. He listed so many different solutions to help my case. I work full time so I wasn’t able to do all of the recommended top 4 options. I did take the 8 hour and 4 hour driver courses and submitted my driving record. He was able to get my 6 point speeding and reckless driving charge down to a 3 point improper driving charge. This means possible jail time and/or license suspension to paying a fine. I am so grateful for Mr. McGee’s help.

Choose Douglas P McGee for Southern Virginia

I couldnt have asked for better counsel than Doulgas McGee. Extremely nice to work with. He gave me an extensive amount of time explaining the entire process without cost for our first conversation, very detailed guidance and always very responsive to texts or messages when I needed additional help ...or questions answered and was able to negotiate the lowest fine possible without my attendance needed for my traffic offense. I would highly highly recommend his services.

"I endorse Mr. McGee. He handled a civil traffic case for me with excellent results, getting case dismissed. He was always available and kept in communication during pendency of case. 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."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
