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.

The important thing that people should know is tha if we want to get to our destination early we should leave the earliest.

Mr Douglas great job I am very pleased that Misdemeanor Reckless Driving (102 MPH in a 70 MPH Zone) in Smyth County was reduced to Improper Driving thereby avoiding a Class I Misdemeanor conviction, active and suspended jail, license suspension by the court, twice the Virginia points and signific...antly higher fines and court costs. I am further pleased that he were able to obtain this result on my behalf Thank you Mr Douglas You're the best I would definitely recommend you.

Misdemeanor Reckless Driving (26mph over) Reduced to Nonmoving Ticket

I came to Doug after being charged with reckless driving for going 61 in a 35 (26 mph over) in a small town in rural VA. This was my second misdemeanor speeding/reckless driving charge, with the first occurring just over a year prior—I thought I was toast. Doug was incredibly helpful. He gave me real...istic steps to complete before court, was always available for questions, and guided me through every stage of the process. He was confident in the courtroom and thanks to his work, my charge was reduced to a non-moving violation with no points on my license. I cannot recommend Doug enough—10/10 lawyer and a genuinely great guy.

Outstanding Representation and Remarkable Results!

I can’t say enough good things about my experience working with Doug McKee. He was able to have my reckless driving misdemeanor charge reduced all the way down to a 0-point defective equipment—a truly incredible outcome. From start to finish, Doug was professional, responsive, and easy to work with. ...He set realistic expectations, explained every step of the process clearly, and followed through on everything he promised. What stood out most was how thorough and genuinely invested he was in my case. Doug went above and beyond to ensure the best possible result, and I’m so grateful for his expertise and dedication. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a skilled, trustworthy attorney.
