Truly an amazing lawyer

Doug is an amazing lawyer. I got a fail to yield-emerg mv-red dr in smyth county, which is a failure to yield reckless driving charge that carries a class 1 misdemeanor. He was the only lawyer that actually told me how he was going to help me and fight for me out of all the lawyers that I called. I w...as someone with a clean driving record and had a security clearance, so it would have been very detrimental to me. The steps that Doug gave me were a lot, but all of it was necessary to help me and he helped to lower the charges to an improper driving infraction with no demerit points. I would whole heartly recommend anyone with a similar case to mine to reach out to Doug for help, he is someone who I believe will fight for every person that he represents with the best of his abilities (and his abilities are very good)

Case dismissed

I was pulled over for a number of traffic violations in Virginia and called Attorney Doug McGee. The charges could have caused me to lose my driver's license for a period of time. Doug expained the process to me, advised me on steps I could take to potentially obtain a more favorable result, and ulti...mately he was able to get the violations entirely dismissed. Doug is personable, professional, and (most importantly) gets results. I could not possibly recommend him more highly.

A meticulous professional.

Everything you'd want from a lawyer, you get with Doug. Someone who understands the system, who loves what they do, knows when to fight with the sword or the pencil. I partnered with Doug because I was issued a "Following too closely" citation after in accident I was involved with, Doug immediately f...rom the first phone call calmed my nerves and spoke with confidence. He gave me many different options on how I wanted to proceed and once I communicated my goals, he quickly aligned with that vision and gave me several different strategies on how he was going to fight on my behalf towards my goals. I could write an essay on how Doug portrayed everything I needed as my lawyer, but to put it simply, he was able to get my case dismissed. If the misfortune of needing a lawyer is ever weighing on your conscious, I highly recommend Doug, and I would happily pay Dougs rate, any time, any day. He is your shield and sword.

Reckless Driving Misdemeanor

Driving down south to visit family I found myself in some trouble in Virginia, Mr. Doug McGee provided me with ample information on my charge and told me what actions I should take to help with my case. After following his advice, Mr. Doug successfully got my reckless driving charge fully dismissed. ...The potential points on my record were very worrying but Mr. Doug handled the case professionally and got the best results possible. Thank you once again! If I ever find myself in trouble in VA again Doug will be my go-to guy!

Reckless Driving charge 92mph in 70 mph zone

Highly recommend. Doug communicated clearly and accurately throughout the entire process. He made no guarantees, but provided range of possible outcomes and guidance on what we could do to help the case. Final result avoided moving violation of any kind and no points.

  • 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.
