Jimmy McGee and his team are the best!

From the start Jimmy let me know that this is his county and would do everything to prove my innocence. He did just that and my case was dismissed and expunged. I am an out of state driver , never in trouble and having an attorney with his knowledge was the key. His whole office, Jackie and Angel are... top notch along with his co attorney Josh, they are always available. They all took the time to explain things and kept me informed. I never felt like a bother if I called. You need this team not only their expertise but for their kindness. Also a shout out to the office dog named Princess , I’m pretty sure she’s an ESA to all clients and deserves some recognition. The best of the best. Can’t thank them enough.

Out of State

I can't recommend Jimmy highly enough. Not only was he understanding, but he was able to resolve my case on its second court setting, saving me from having to repeatedly come in from out of state. Jimmy understood the impact of this claim for me personally and professionally. Jimmy did his utmost ...to get my case heard on the second appearance. I was rescheduled after a continuance due to and over booked docket. On my second showing, second air fare, hogel, rebtal car (growing expenses). I had returned from my own client contract early for the case. Jimmy got my case heard, one of the last 2 of the day. Jimmy was able to dismantle the arresting officers case point by point. In the end - DUI DISMISSED based on lack of PC.

The Absolute Best!

From the moment I spoke to Jimmy on the phone in regards to my case, I knew that I was in good hands. Jimmy and his team, Angel and Jackie, were always reliable, consistent with their communication, and helped ease my stress. Jimmy helped prove me to be not-guilty for a DWI case, which is something t...hat I will forever be grateful for. The entire process leading up to my trial took about 6 months, and Jimmy made sure to stay in touch on a regular basis and was always there to answer my questions. If you are looking for a lawyer to treat your case as if it were their own, then Jimmy McGee is your guy!

Not guilty

Jim McGee was my defense attorney in Wilmington, NC, Circuit Court 2 weeks ago. He was a blessing... Jim is detailed, knowledgeable, well respected by his peers, and quite professional. He prepared a terrific defense for me and worked some kind of magic. Thank goodness the verdict was 'Not Guilty'. T...his charge would have hurt me for a long time. Mr. McGee was a blessing in disguise. He is the BEST defense attorney in Wilmington, NC, in my opinion, that you or anyone else could hire to defend you! I cannot be more thankful for this man's guidance and direction... I COMPLETELY recommend Jim McGee for your defense...
