Dear Mr. Douglas McGee

Hello, I live in New York, I am Colombian, and on a trip to Texas while driving I was stopped in Smyth County by a police officer and that was when I hired the services of attorney Douglas McGee and he immediately helped me with my case, (Reduction of Smyth County Misdemeanor Reckless driving (101 mp...h in a 70 mph zone) to traffic ticket). Avoiding a possible jail sentence, reduced to improper driving, thus avoiding a misdemeanor conviction, double Virginia points and higher fines. In addition, the attorney handled my entire case in my absence, since I live and work in New York. I am very grateful to him for everything he was able to help me with in my case. Thank you for all your professionalism!! Thank you very much! 100% recommended!!

Out of state

Doug assisted me on a speeding ticket I received in VA even though I dont live in that state. He made the difference in laws by state very clear and gave me all the tools I needed to get it reduced. I could have had 6 demerit points but Doug called me after court to let me know I wasnt receiving a si...ngle demerit point. I HIGHLY recommend retaining Doug and he will always take care of you as he did for me

Don't go it alone! Call Doug McGee.

If you have been charged with a traffic offense while traveling through the State of Virginia, I implore you not to go it alone. While driving from Tennessee to New Jersey, I lost track of my speed on Rt 81 in Virginia. I was pulled over by a police officer who gave me a speeding ticket, I thought. W...hen I got home and looked up the details, it was a shock to realize I did not get a ticket – I had been issued a criminal summons. I was in a panic. To my great fortune, I was introduced to Douglas McGee, Attorney at Law, who agreed to take on my case and help me formulate a response to the Municipal Court. Doug quickly had the court date rescheduled so I could gather information and take certain steps to prepare for my case that would go before a Judge. Doug provided detailed instructions about how to prepare and I followed them. I sent all the information to Doug who represented me on the day my case was scheduled. He went to Court, spoke with the officer who issued my summons, and presented my case to the Judge. The result was better than I could have hoped for. If you ever find yourself in my situation or any other that requires an expert, professional, and dependable attorney at your side, call Doug McGee.

Truly an amazing lawyer

Doug is an amazing lawyer. I got a fail to yield-emerg mv-red dr in smyth county, which is a failure to yield reckless driving charge that carries a class 1 misdemeanor. He was the only lawyer that actually told me how he was going to help me and fight for me out of all the lawyers that I called. I w...as someone with a clean driving record and had a security clearance, so it would have been very detrimental to me. The steps that Doug gave me were a lot, but all of it was necessary to help me and he helped to lower the charges to an improper driving infraction with no demerit points. I would whole heartly recommend anyone with a similar case to mine to reach out to Doug for help, he is someone who I believe will fight for every person that he represents with the best of his abilities (and his abilities are very good)

Great choice

Doug represented me in a speeding case, in which my offense got knocked down to equipment malfunction. Doug was friendly, explained all the steps I needed to take, and told me what the outcome would most likely be. If I ever need representation in Virginia again, I’m definitely going to Doug.

  • 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.
