Place your trust in Doug McGee - you won't regret it!

As so many others have noted in reviews on this site, I received a reckless speeding ticket (84 in a 70) in Emporia, NC and was shocked to learn it was a misdemeanor. I am employed in a position that demands I hold a particular clearance level. This meant not only would the speeding ticket leave me w...ith "a record", but it threatened my current position and ability to procure future positions requiring the same level of clearance. I called Doug the day I received the ticket and he responded immediately - as he did throughout the process. Doug was very straightforward and clear with me from the first conversation explaining possible/probable outcomes and proactive measures I could take to mitigate the outcome of my case. I did exactly as he recommended. Doug was able to get the ticket DISMISSED! and on my on my court date. This was not done on appeal. I did not have to appear in court - Doug clearly presented my case in such a manner that this was not required. Doug is very professional - highly effective and super responsive ( responding to 2am an anxiety ridden text from me at 3am) who does that! I recommend Doug McGee to anyone who has found themselves in a similar situation. Cannot say it enough, THANK YOU Doug!!!

Best choice!

By the time it was over we knew we were fortunate to have found Mr. McGee. He represented our son in a speeding incident that could have had life changing repercussions. Lessons were learned in the process and the results were superlative. HIs experience allowed us to move through the process during ...challenging COVID times and he kept us informed at each step of the way. Thank you again to Douglas McGee.

Excellent, knowledgeable representation by a person who cares

Mr. McGee has provided unbelievably knowledgeable, compassionate, and exceptional legal help. His clear and direct suggestions for action prior to my court date helped make the case for a significantly reduced charge. Not only did his calm and invested demeanor help gain and maintain my confidence ...in an uncomfortable situation, he was clear and realistic about outcomes. In his representation, he made my case and was persistent. His communication and humor are top notch. If I ever again find that I need a lawyer, I will not hesitate to hire him again.

  • 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.
