CDL Reckless Driving

I'm very pleased with my decision to hire Douglas P. McGee as my lawyer. Got a reckless driving of speed 78/55 with being out of state and cdl holder. Not knowing what could happen I called so many lawyers who wouldn't get back or don't do smaller county's. He got back with me and was very helpful on... what I was face with and a plan on getting it lowered and answering any questions i had. I did what he said and was lucky able to get the charge dismissed and only had to pay court cost. Super happy with the outcome and my decision on hiring McGee.

Great Lawyer - Speeding ticket

I recently received a speeding ticket while driving home from a vacation with my family. Living in Charlotte, NC, I wasn't sure what options I had, but luckily, I was referred to Doug McGee. He quickly earned my trust by being: Responsive: Doug returned my call promptly and took the time to unde...rstand my situation fully. Communicative: He kept me informed throughout the process, explaining every step and answering any questions I had. Effective: Thanks to Doug's expertise, the speeding ticket was ultimately dismissed! I couldn't be happier with the outcome and highly recommend Doug McGee to anyone facing similar legal situations in Virgina. He is a professional, reliable, and truly effective lawyer.

Amazing Ally in a Crisis

I was involved in a severe car accident in VA and was issued a citation for an unsafe lane change. I was very shaken physically and emotionally and fearful of what the legal repercussions might be. I've had a clean driving record my whole adult life and live out of state and I was almost going to jus...t pay the citation but got the advice to look online for a local attorney to advise me. I was directed to Doug and from the start he was responsive, kind, compassionate, and informed. I retained him and followed all of his suggestions. He was very attuned to the dynamics of the local court and had a flexible strategy. I am so relieved that he successfully had the charge dismissed, thereby averting 4 demerit points, a moving violation, and a more vulnerable position should a civil case occur. I can't recommend him more highly.

Reckless Driving Infraction

I hired Doug after being ticketed for Reckless Driving in the city of Roanoke. Doug did an excellent job of setting expectations, educating me on what would be required for my Defense and communicating with me regarding court scheduling and appearances. Fortunately, Doug was enable to make it such ...that I didn't have to appear in court, which was very advantageous due to me living in Northern Virginia. I would highly recommend Doug as he is both professional and personable.
