10MPH over reduced to Non Moving Violation

Doug was great. Told me exactly what to expect and what was needed of me to help them reduce my ticket and how to get it. Ended up getting my 10MPH over speeding ticket in Emporia reduced to a Non Moving Violation for Defective Parts with no Insurance Points which was exactly what I wanted.

Amazing Attorney

I was pulled over in Virginia on my way to Florida to visit family. I was going 83/70. Mr. McGee was so amazing through the whole process. I myself have worked in criminal defense for amazing attorneys and Mr. McGee was just as amazing as my team. I couldn't have found a better attorney for my case. ...If you want someone who will give it to you straight, make no promises and do his absolute best...then look no further. You will not be disappointed.

Doug Is The Man!!

If I could give 10 stars I totally would. I was pulled over in Virginia for reckless driving and speeding 85/70. Doug was able to knock it down to a non moving violation because of a defective speedometer. Doug has saved my job and my livelihood for sure. After all was said and done the fine, court f...ees and Doug’s fee. It was still less than what the ticket would’ve cost me. I call that a great deal. Thanks again Doug, you’re a lifesaver!!

Couldn’t ask for a better lawyer

I had been charged with a DUI in Shenandoah county with a .15 BAC. Doug was great from the start explaining exactly what I should expect and prepare for. This was my first charge so I was unaware of the consequences. Doug explained what I should do to be proactive and he also made sure I understood w...hat his steps were. Long story short, he got my case reduced to a wreck less driving. WOW!!! I’m still surprised he made that happen. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for top notch legal help. Mr. McGee, your the best. Thank you again.

Spectacular Lawyer- Mr. Doug McGee

I live in Maryland and just returned from my court day in Sussex Virginia. I am very glad Mr. Doug McGee was by my side. I was charged with reckless driving on my way to Outer Banks with my family a few weeks ago. I simply did not see the sudden change in the speed limit and got caught in a speed t...rap (nice start to vacation). The officer cited me as reckless and stated I would have to come to court. I had absolutely no idea what any of this meant. I had never even had a speeding ticket. After researching it (yes, while on vacation), I realized I was being criminally charged, which was unbelievable to me. Furthermore, I am a professional who cannot have any such record on my background, as it is checked regularly. I also knew none in Virginia. I reached out to several lawyers (for the first time ever to represent me). Mr. McGee was the only one that returned my call promptly and spent nearly 40 minutes educating me and explaining that I had to take it serious but that we would be okay, all without charging me. He was polite, professional and very patient with my ignorance on this whole matter. He advised me meticulously on court preparation and what I needed before we appeared in from of the judge. After I spoke to him I felt much better and hired him. He was available to me at all times as needed. I completed all his instructions. Today, in court, he was phenomenal. He pleaded our case and my background to the judge and was able to persuade him to drop the reckless without need for additional community service. Let me add, this judge was very good and experienced, but not easily persuaded as I saw with other defendants. I also got to observe other lawyers representing other defendants and I must say, I knew I had selected the right lawyer. Mr. McGee is an experienced go to lawyer who happens to also be a good man, as I got to know him today. Do yourself a favor and take the charges serious and hire this serious lawyer. I hope I never go through this again, but he is my lawyer in the future, should the need arise. Overall, his fee was very reasonable for the spectacular representation. Thank you Mr. McGee.

"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."
