Reckless Driving

Doug knows his stuff! If you ever get screwed over with reckless driving in Virginia, Doug is the guy to call! He was super helpful, and really cared about my case. Overall great guy.

This is the Man. The one who knows...

I was driving too fast, went through an active radar State Police speed monitoring post. Was pulled over, State Trooper was very courteous and sympathetic to my dog's urgent request to use the facilities at the next exit. Not really a valid excuse for traveling 92 mph in a posted 70 mph zone. Was exp...lained that I have committed a felony speeding violation. Summons issued and was told to hire an attorney. Had no clue that I had violated a very serious offense of Virginia's driving laws. Went on line and called several law firms. I left message for Douglas McGee. Long story short, Doug called back that same day, explained that I would have to do some things to show the court that I was sorry and a good person as I claimed. I listened and felt very comfortable that I could perform the strongly suggested pre-court items he suggested. I felt he knew the court people, and even knew the particular state trooper that pulled me over. I did what he recommended, took safe driver on line course, provided certain documents. I had a very good experience and am very grateful as I am a professional licensed contractor. My case was reduced and I am satisfied with the over all end result. This is the man! No one could have done a better job. He was always communicating back and forth. Thank you Doug!! 5 - STARS

Highly Recommended

Mr. McGee was extremely knowledgeable and well prepared. He did an excellent job in obtaining a reduced charge in a reckless driving case. I highly recommend him.

101/65 Reckless Driving

Mr. McGee was an absolute pleasure to work with. He gave me a detailed plan of action and steps to take to help me mitigate this charge. This charge could have gotten me a misdemeanor conviction, jail, license suspension by the court, and significantly higher fines. Through his diligence and resource...fulness we were able to get the charged dropped to just Speeding 95/65 with a reduced fine of $250. Mr. McGee is a very knowledgeable Attorney and well worth the money and fully explained each step of the process to me. My advice for anyone is to not give up no matter what you are convicted of and if you follow the mitigating factors Mr. McGee gives you, you’ll have a fighting chance.

"I endorse Mr. McGee. He handled a civil traffic case for me with excellent results, getting case dismissed. He was always available and kept in communication during pendency of case. I contacted other lawyers before deciding on Mr. McGee and can tell you if you have a case in his area call him first, you will be satisfied."

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.
