Highly recommend

I hired Doug McGee after being charged with failing to move over a lane for a police vehicle parked on the side of the road. I didn't think I had time to get over, so I slowed down to 15 mph below the speed limit, but still found myself charged with a Class I Misdemeanor and a mandatory court date i...n Virginia (I was visiting from Texas). Doug responded promptly, treated me with kindness and understanding, and told me exactly what to do to get the best results in my case. He neither sugarcoated nor exaggerated the situation, but gave me realistic expectations of the range outcomes I could expect based on his years of experience and knowledge of the particular court I was dealing with. Doug was able to waive my appearance in court and represent me in my absence, saving me additional expense and stress. He requested a lot of prep work from me (driver improvement classes, community service, etc.), but I followed all of his suggestions and achieved an even better result than he expected - complete dismissal of the charge following 6 months of clean driving. Doug is truly gifted at what he does. He is a person of great integrity and compassion who treats his clients, the police, and all members of the court system with the utmost respect and calls out the best in each person to bring about a resolution.

Great help with a ticket

Mr. McGee did a great job handling my out of state driving ticket and getting it reduced significantly. The process was smooth and easy, he was clear with what he needed from me, was very responsive and was a pleasure to work with, very professional.

Got reckless driving case dismissed

Hired to be my lawyer when I received a reckless driving ticket (78 in a 55 mph) in a small, rural county renowned for being tough with reckless speeding tickets. Mr. McGee is very familiar with the area I was charged—which I believed made him in invaluable in representing me. He was a prompt and ef...fective communicator in what I needed to do to prepare for the trial, and he is very knowledgeable in traffic law. Additionally, he was very kind, patient, and reassuring with my nerves about the case. Eventually, he got it dismissed, as I had a clean driving record and followed all his directions. I highly recommend him. Mr. McGee is a truly professional, experienced, and competent attorney.

The Best in the Business to Defend Your Reckless Speeding Driving Ticket

Doug is an incredible resource and ally to have on your side when facing any traffic ticket especially those related to Virginia's strict speeding laws. Beyond great communication Doug knows the steps that you need to take in order to put yourself in the best position possible for a favorable outcome.... In my instance I followed his guidance prior to my court date and when it came time for my hearing on a 92MPH in a 70MPH zone ticket he was able to get it reduced to a Defective Equipment non-moving charge. Truly the best to represent you! Doug made all the difference!

Wonderful!

Doug was absolutely wonderful when we hired him to help my son with a reckless driving ticket. He thoroughly explained the process and helped us to preemptively prepare for the upcoming court date. Great communication skills and not going to take advantage of your wallet!
