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!!

Personal Attention and Awesome Results!

We retained Mr. McGee to assist our soon-to-be college student for a serious traffic matter. He was prompt in taking our call, offered his services at an affordable price, gave us step-by-step instructions on what he needed to defend the case, and his hard work resulted in a serious misdemeanor (rec...kless driving) being reduced to a faulty equipment violation. He was a pleasure to work with and maintained a personal connection throughout the case and after. I cannot say enough about how pleased we were with his services.

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.

Reduction of Reckless Driving and Criminal Misdemeanor

In April of 2024, I was the unfortunate recipient of a Reckless Driving charge for speeding on the interstate while traveling from South Carolina back home to Canada. Unaware of the severity of driving penalties under Virginia state law, I was surprised to learn of the penalty for this charge and the... summons to return to Smyth County court. After doing research and consulting with several Smyth County law offices, I had the pleasure of getting in contact with Doug McGee and I couldn't be happier with the entire outcome. Doug was personable and easy to contact throughout the whole process from initial consultation to the final trial date. He was professional, realistic, and most importantly reassuring - providing sound advice for what steps to take to help my case. As an international driver, Doug worked with me to make sure we got the best results out of the obstacles that were faced and I would recommend him to anybody in a similar situation. Cannot say enough to thank him, and as I said when he relayed my verdict "I'd love to meet you and talk again, but I hope I never have to!" Thanks Doug!

Best lawyer ever

Douglas was absolutely amazing to work with! He thoroughly explained and communicated every step throughout the entire process, replied quickly, and kindly answered all of my questions and concerns. I did all of the suggestions he recommended I complete before my court date and he was able to bring ...my speeding misdemeanor all the way down to faulty equipment! Hopefully I never need a lawyer in VA again, but if I do he is definitely the one I’m going to!
