Great lawyer

I looked for several lawyers online after I got a reckless driving ticket in Hanover County, VA. I was going 84/65 on 95N. I’m 67 and this was my 1st ticket ever. I had no idea reckless driving is such a serious offense in VA. I live in PA. I was a wreck but Doug talked me through it and gave me my o...ptions. I was most impressed with how he kept me informed every step of the way- either through texts, emails or phone. My case was dismissed and I just had to pay court costs. Doug is the best!!

Awesome!!

Doug hit the jackpot in my reckless speeding case and saved my butt big time! Reduced my charges and had to just pay a small fine! I am forever thankful for him, he really knows how to get things done for you!

Felony Charge

This guy is expensive, but he is no joke. In the end, you have someone that you can specifically see where your money went. I had a misdemeanor AND a felony charge. Both charges were dropped at PRE trial!!!! Thats MAJOR!!!!! I actually feel I found a friend. Im a Black American and this guy, at no t...ime, made me second guess his loyalty to me as a person/customer. This guy should actually be a judge w his experience. Six Stars!!!!! Seriously.

RD(89/70) ticket, got reduced successfully!

At the beginning of this year I was pulled over for RD(89/70) in Lexington. It was my very first ticket. I was scared when I searched online. I called a few attorneys, only Mr. Mcgee explained to my everything patiently and clearly. He was honest and helpful so I decided to choose him, and that was a... correct decision indeed! I prepared all documents under his guide and met him in the court. He got my ticket reduced to regular speeding ticket in 24 SECONDS! Unbelievable record. Should be the shortest one in Lexington County general court. This victory can only be accomplished by well experienced and highly professional attorney, like him. BTW other attorneys told me my case was almost impossible to be reduced when I called them. He even helped me jump start my car after we won the case. Mr. Mcgee is such a professional attorney with warm heart. HIRE HIM if you need help!

Reckless riding and riding uninsured

I had a low speed accident on my bike with no injuries and no one else involved and was cited with Reckless riding and riding uninsured (in Florida, no insurance is required which I didn't know wasn't the case in VA). Doug extended my hearing out 6 months, had me complete a course, get insurance, an...d pull my driving record, and then took those things to court and had my case dismissed by the prosecutor before even going in front of the Judge. What more could you ask for - nothing on my record, no points. Fantastic.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
