Reckless driving violation in Virginia

While traveling through Virginia to get to Tennessee, I received a reckless driving charge for driving 92mph in a 70mph zone. A thorough web search to find a good attorney in a place five hours from home suggested Douglas McGee got fantastic results with regard to my charge. He had great reviews and... after a consultation I knew he was the man for the job. My charge was in Smyth County and Doug knew all of the prosecutors, the police officers, everyone! I hired him and did everything he told me to do before my court date. He represented me in my absence and I was very pleased to learn he got my charge reduced to the lowest possible traffic ticket. I no longer have to worry about renewing my professional license or paying higher insurance rates because of Doug’s help. From experience, if you need a good attorney in Virginia, I absolutely recommend Doug. He’s a straight forward, honest, professional attorney with fair fees. Doug, Thank you! I appreciate you and your expertise. It was a pleasure speaking with and working with you. Thank you for helping me like you did. Wishing you continued success.

Amazing, Knowledgeable, and Friendly

When I first started looking for a lawyer for a ticket, I called four or five different lawyers, and of those Doug was the only one to call me back directly himself. He was the only one to give me more recommendations of actions I can take to increase my chances of a good outcome, then to simply go t...o driver improvement school. He Is incredibly friendly and easy to talk with. He helped me get my reckless driving failure to maintain control ticket brought down to a non-moving violation. If you ever need a lawyer Doug is well worth it.

Wonderful Experience

I received a Reckless Driving ticket for 95 mph in a 70 mph zone. I received all of the MASS mail-outs from a variety of attorneys but upon researching local attorneys, I came across Mr. McGee. THANKFULLY! I reside in a different state, making a court appearance less than convenient. Mr. McGee is an ...excellent communicator who knows the area, prosecutors, and judges and was able to take care of everything remotely. The steps he told me to take, from community service, online driving courses, references, etc. proved Invaluable! What could have cost me a criminal record, jail time, ongoing fees and consequences…….ended up costing me some time, attorney’s fee, and court costs with NO residual complications. I am SO Thankful to have reached out to him. He is Great to talk to and genuinely cares about your personal situation. I would Highly recommend this attorney and look forward to meeting him one day when I travel back through that area. NOT your typical Attorney-Client experience. This gentleman is Well WORTH the fee he charges!

You found your guy! Doug is excellent.

Doug was excellent. I had a speeding ticket in Allegheny county that Doug helped me with. He was very knowledgeable on the best practices to help get the charges reduced or dismissed. We had a very favorable outcome in the court hearing and I would highly recommend his services to anyone in similar s...cenarios. (added bonus he is very reasonable in his fees/pricing)

Friendly, Effective, Easy. Highly Recommend.

I was caught in a speed trap in VA. I reached out to Doug and he very thoroughly explained the process and what he could possibly do to get it reduced. If you follow everything he tells you to do, he will help tremendously. He was able to get my case dismissed with only a court fee. Give him a ca...ll.

"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."
