Look no further than Doug

Receiving a reckless driving ticket, I was in search for a lawyer. With concerns of this being considered a felony it was important to find the right person to handle this case. During the consultation Doug was transparent sharing the severity of the charge and his recommended actions. I was impresse...d because he called the same evening as the request to be contacted was made. Throughout the entire process he kept his word, following up as promised even with his busy schedule. The plan of action he outlined we followed to a tee. He was able to arrange a plea to a speeding of 20 over the speed limit, fine plus court costs. This was way better than the 12 months of jail time and a criminal record.

Reckless driving in Brunswick county - 96/70

I got a reckless driving ticket in Brunswick county. I have approached around 10 lawyers in the area but no body was willing to take up my case because 96/70 is goner in that county. But when I consulted with McGee, he clearly mentioned all the things I have to do and also set my expectations pragmat...ic. I instantly felt better after his call. I did all the things he mentioned, went to the court and my reckless driving charge was knocked down to a moving violation which is the least one could get in Virginia

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.

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.

Reckless driving ticket

I just recently was traveling to virgina for a vacation and got a speeding ticket doing 88mph in a 70mph. When I got home and called the police department in virgina to see how I could pay my ticket the officer told me I couldn't pay the ticket I had to show up in court and I said ok. The officer adv...ised me to get a lawyer because I was getting charged for reckless driving which was a class 1 misdemeanor in virgina and i was possiblygoing to do jail time. I was nervous when he told me that so I got online and typed in good lawyers for reckless driving. Doug was the first contact that pulled up and i contacted him immediately. When we talked Doug explained to me everything and the rules in virgina and told me what I needed to have ( go to driving school, dmv record, accident report and dynometer testing) for my court date if I decide to hire him.. i was so please by just talking to him I went ahead and hired him, I got everything he asked for except for the dynometer testing. He assured me that everything was ok and he should be able to take care of it with what I gave him. I ended up with a non moving violation/ defective equipment and only had to pay a fine and court cost he did a awesome job and he is a great attorney. Thank you doug and I recommend him 100%
