The Best Lawyer You Could Get

I received a move-over violation where there were multiple police cars and multiple people outside their vehicles. Douglas ended up getting this very serious charge (one that faces up to a year in jail) to be under advisement for a year to be dismissed. This is especially impressive given tha...t the county I was charged in has among the strictest reckless driving enforcement in the country. I talked to over 10 lawyers, and from the get-go Douglas stuck out to me as the best possible option. In fact, I was so confident in his abilities that I ended up leaving the original attorney I hired to go with him. He takes the time to explain everything as well as give you a detailed, actionable list of ways to address this charge. This list offers much more guidance than the other lawyers I talked to, including the one I had initially hired. Had I not gone with Douglas, my case would have gone a lot differently. He is also pleasant to talk to, which is always a plus.

Excellent lawyer for any traffic issue.

Doug did a fantastic job in getting a ticket I received in Danville VA reduced to a non-moving violation, and therefore eliminating points on my record. He is very personable and was easy to talk to throughout the process. He was quick to respond to questions, gave excellent advice, and cleared the c...ase even before my court date. Despite this being a relatively minor case for him, he pursued it aggressively and eased my stress over the whole ordeal. I would recommend him highly and without reservation.

Reckless driving reduced – strong result

I hired Doug for a reckless driving case in Smyth County where I was charged with 105 in a 70. I knew how serious that charge was and what it could mean for my record and future, so I needed someone who knew how to handle it the right way. From the start, Doug was straightforward and realistic abo...ut the situation. He explained what I was facing and what steps I needed to take before court. I appreciated that he didn’t sugarcoat anything and kept things clear the whole time. Communication was solid throughout the process. Whenever I had questions, he responded and kept me on track. I always knew what was going on and what to expect next. In the end, he was able to get the charge reduced to improper driving. Considering the speed involved, I understand that’s not something that just happens. That result made a major difference for me by avoiding a criminal conviction and the long-term impact that comes with it. Overall, Doug handled everything professionally and stayed focused on getting the best possible outcome. I would definitely recommend him to anyone dealing with a serious traffic charge.
