You don't get what you pay for.

I employed this attorney's services for a DWI because after the consultation he stated the different points of contention that he could argue when the case went to trial. I felt really good about my chances of having the case dismissed. As time went on, and he continued my case over and over for lo...nger than a year, sometimes for things like him going on a ski trip, I began to doubt his credibility. Over a year later of having this on my mind and finally going to court to supposedly go to trial, he then reveals to me that he doesn't think going to trial will matter as the points of contention that were once relevant were now frivolous. So after swooning me with big promises, $2500, and a over a year of worrying later he then says it's all not worth going to trial. To say I was upset would be an understatement. I believe he knew all along how this was going to play out but led me on to get my money. He is very unprofessional in his behavior and how he communicates as I had to basically remind him of when my court dates were and what we were supposed to be trying to prove in court. I would definitely not recommend this attorney to anyone that has the unfortunate thing of getting a DWI. He preys on your desperation as I'm sure most do but I consulted other attorneys before going with him and they at least were upfront and honest that there was little they could do..As a result, they were willing to charge me much less money. Mr. Mcgee does the opposite by filling you with false hope of going to trial so he can charge you more money.

Attorney James Mcgee has helped several members of my family and friends. I would highly recommend his integrity and sincerity. He was always available to answer questions and returned my phone calls in a very timely manner (also his staff). This was a very difficult time for me and having Attorne...y Mcgee who is also very approachable and non-judgmental was very comforting. He knows the system and you can tell he is respected by his peers.

DWI Attorney

When I was arrested for a DWI, Mr. McGee came highly recommended. I was not disappointed. He was down to earth and kept me informed every step of the way. I was extremely pleased with the outcome of my case and would refer him to anyone in need of a great attorney.
