Reductions Are Possible

I hired Mr. McGee to assist me with my DUI charge. I had made the mistake of driving under the influence and blew a .11. During the process, Doug did everything he could to walk me through the steps leading up to my court date as well as doing the leg work to find a way to help get my charge reduc...ed. I had a lot of things that could have put me in a serious situation, but Doug’s efforts gave me the chance to reduce my sentence to a reckless driving charge. He is a great man and encourage anyone in the same predicament to consider him as your lawyer. Thanks again Doug for all you did for me and my family.

Highly recommend

I received a DWI and was referred to Doug. He got in touch with right away and he started working on getting all the information he needed for my case. We just went to court and my DWI was reduced to improper driving. I highly recommend hiring Doug he puts in the hard work for his clients.

The Best Choice I Could Have Made in a Stressful Time

When this whole situation first began, I was scared and overwhelmed. The uncertainty of not knowing what would happen weighed heavily, and one of the most stressful parts was figuring out how to choose the right lawyer. We wanted someone with strong recommendations, someone we could trust, but also s...omeone who understood the importance of working within our budget. That balance felt nearly impossible to find at first. In the end, the overall cost came to about $2,000, which included not only Doug’s fee, but also car reports, two required classes, and the extra expenses of gas from volunteering and traveling back and forth to court. For such a difficult and draining experience, knowing that we were able to afford quality representation without being crushed financially was a huge relief. What truly stood out, though, was Doug’s character. From the very beginning, he was calm, kind, and reassuring — exactly what I needed in such a stressful time. He was patient as I asked what felt like 101 questions before signing on the dotted line, and instead of making me feel like a burden, he answered each one with care, honesty, and full transparency. That level of forthrightness was refreshing, and it built trust from the start. Throughout the entire process, Doug’s professionalism was matched by his humanity. He was not only thorough and knowledgeable, but also compassionate and understanding. His calm demeanor gave me peace of mind, and his guidance helped me navigate what could have been an overwhelming experience. Although this situation was unfortunate, meeting and working with Doug was not. I hope I never have to go through something like this again, but if I do, I know how fortunate I would be to have him by my side.

Outstanding lawyer!

Doug was very honest with me from the moment I hired him. Being out of state and having a previous DUI charge was two of my biggest worries, but I didn’t have any doubts. My reckless driving misdemeanor, 89 in a 55, was reduced to an infraction, 74 in a 55. I am extremely grateful for Doug. Highly r...ecommended! Thank you.
