I can't thank Mr. McGee enough. I was referred to him by multiple sources and once I met with him was entirely confident he would provide the best representation. I had never dealt with the criminal justice system before and he was able to walk me through the process in a way that made me very comfortable. While he worked behind the scenes, Angel kept me informed along the way which was a great help. On the day of my trial Mr. McGee spent all day in the courtroom working with the judges and prosecutors and in the end was able to get my case dismissed. If you're ever in this situation hire Mr. McGee!

Mr. McGee was able to help me through a very scary and difficult situation. He took the time to really listen to how everything occurred, and helped me feel at ease that he could really help me. Everyone at the firm is amazing. Angel really is an angel. The outcome of my case was better than I ever could have imagined.

Mr. Mcgee provided me legal advice and guidance during a difficult situation. I found him to be experienced, responsive, knowledgeable and honest. While working with him, I felt as though my situation was in adept and trustworthy hands, and he did not steer me wrong. I would highly recommend Mr. Mcgee to anyone seeking legal representation that is fair, honest and will keep your best interest and unique needs at the forefront. Should the situation arise, I would not hesitate to seek representation from him again.

I highly recommend Mr. Mcgee. During our first visit, I was impressed with the time he spent getting to know us and our situation. Mr. Mcgee ended up working an absolute miracle with our situation! I cannot thank him enough for what he did for our family! We will always be grateful! I recommend Mr. Mcgee without reservation!

While being out of town and making a very poor decision and getting a DWI and couple of Fel. charges. I contacted my local attorney and he recommended Mr. McGee. Mr. McGee was very professional and courtesy to me and my family during this difficult time. He went above and beyond to help me with my case and I ended up with a great plea deal. I would highly recommend Mr. McGee and his staff.

Upon my arrest, I felt as though my world was collapsing. I had never had an issue like this before. I received a .08 DUI on a Saturday night/Sunday morning. First order of business on Monday was to set up interviews with Wilmington's best of the best DUI lawyers. I narrowed it down to 3. This was a huge decision for me, as whomever I hired had my future in their hands. My first impression of James and Angel were the best. During this very difficult time, they made me feel at ease. It was an easy choice, they were the right team for me! They educated me on the process and were very honest through the entire process. I always felt respected and heard. Both James and his team are great communicators and easily accessible. Ultimately, after many months, James won my case. I will never forget the end of the trial and, the words "not guilty" coming out of the judge's mouth. It felt as though a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders. I would not be here without James. This has been a learning experience for sure. If you find yourself in a situation like myself, I highly encourage giving James and his team a chance, they took very good care of me.

Mr McGee was personable and competent. He reviewed the evidence and circumstances and located a solid defense involving lack of probable cause. He got a DUI charge dismissed. He knows the judges and court personnel and was strategic in continuing and planning. His office manager Angel is great too. Money well spent.

After 16 years of not having my license, I thought I would never drive again. Mr. McGee represented me at my DMV Hearing and made the process go smoothly. He was excellent! He had great rapport with the hearing office. His office manager, Angel was very helpful and extremely nice. I highly recommend Mr. McGee for anyone with DWI charges.

Charged with DWI. Jim got charge reduced to Open Container. When you meet Jim (and his staff) you immediately know that he (they) know exactly what he (they) are doing. I highly recommend.

Yes, in NC you can be charged with DWI on just about any drug you can think of, and a few you can’t. I went to see James McGee when I realized how easily I could be convicted. I retained him. The man works hard. First he filed a successful motion to suppress blood drawn the day of my arrest. He continued to go to bat for me. My case was dismissed. You need a good lawyer? You found him. Thanks Jimmy!
