Great Lawyer!!

I had an excellent experience working with Doug on my Virginia traffic violation case. He handled everything professionally, communicated clearly throughout the process, and achieved the best possible outcome by winning my case. I truly appreciated his knowledge, attention to detail, and the way he ...made the entire process easy and stressfree for me. I would highly recommend Doug to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and dependable traffic attorney in Virginia. Thank you again for the outstanding representation!

Communicative, Personable, and Effective - Hire Doug!

Doug has been in the business for a while and he has excellent expertise, especially when it comes to traffic violations such as Reckless Driving. Throughout the ~4 months between my charge and my court date, he communicated consistently and effectively, clearly laying out what was necessary to get m...y charge reduced, or maybe even dismissed. He is always very real about possible outcomes and the importance of different tasks to do before court in order to have the best chance at success. Doug is very easy to talk to and is a very nice individual. He also clearly has a great relationship with those within various circuits in Virginia, and he knows the courts very well. In the end, with the combination of completing the tasks he requested of me and his expertise, Doug was able to get my Reckless Driving case not only reduced, but completely dismissed. Couldn't be more more with the result and my decision to hire him. It is possible to get your reckless driving misdemeanor dismissed!!

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.

Best in the business

Doug was very professional and helped me out a lot. Very easy to communicate with. He got my serious charge knocked down to just defective equipment, and no points on my license.

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.

  • 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.
