Wonderful Lawyer

Doug was extremely helpful to me and helped me to see that even though I had committed traffic violations there was much that I could do to make my cases look better to the prosecutor. He always answered all of my questions and treated me with kindness and grace. I highly recommend him!

Humanized the event leading to an severe infraction.

I was charged with reckless driving at an excessive speed. What Doug was able to do was to show that this momentary event was not a reflection of my driving history but a result of circumstances converging into a dilemma that resulted in an unintentional result. He showed that my character indicated ...a different individual from the one who was cited, guilty yes, but reckless no. I appreciated the fact that he kept me in the loop and advised me on solid steps to take to aid the Judge to seeing the whole picture and not just the immediate event. As a result of his diplomacy I am wiser and feel the outcome was just. The charge was reduced and I am grateful for his counsel and guidance.

Reckless Driving charge

I consulted and hired Doulas for a reckless driving ticket. With his guidance we were able to reduce the charge to a non moving ticket. He was incredibly helpful and guided me through all the steps necessary which ultimately helped in court. As an immigrant this infraction could have been very seriou...s. I am eternally grateful to Douglas for his help. I would 100% recommend him to others.

Reckless Driving- Failure to Move Over for Law Enforcement

In January 2025 I received a Reckless Driving (Failure to Move Over for Law Enforcement) in King William, VA. It was a very stressful moment and I couldn’t move over in time. Reading my ticket I found I could be charged with a Misdemeanor and fortunately contacted Douglas P. McGee to handle my case. ...He gave me a list of things to complete before going to court. I did as he requested and have no regrets. In addition to his extensive experience he was always so patient and kind which I really appreciated. My charge involved the risk of a misdemeanor conviction or a moving violation, and the risk of jail, hard fines and license suspension. Fortunately Doug’s expertise and my doing what he recommended lead to my charge being reduced to Defective Equipment, a non-moving charge. I was shocked but grateful to end up with no moving violation charges or points on my driving record. There was hard prep work to do in advance of court date but it was well worth it. I was very fortunate having Doug handle my case as he is an awesome and compassionate attorney. I can never thank him enough for keeping my life from turning upside down.

Awesome Lawyer

Doug was amazing. He was very thorough and knowledgeable about my situation. He made great recommendations on things to do prior to my court appearance to assist in getting a favorable outcome. He is super nice and easy to communicate with. Doug made a difficult situation significantly easier to deal... with. I will definitely recommend him to anyone I know that needs legal services in Virginia. Thank you again Doug Frank .F
