Amy B. McGarry

I hired Amy to represent me in a divorce where federally protected monies as well as Maine laws relating to VA Title 38 Disability money. Both Federal law and Maine law says that VA Disability money is not to be counted as income in a divorce. Amy represented herself as being well versed in the area ...but said she had a paralegal who she considered an expert in said area. I never saw ANY outside staff when we had office appointments. On the day of my first hearing, she went to a court four cities over. When she finally showed, just under 2 hours late, she was not prepared. (NOTE: I'm a retired paralegal so am well cognizant of how a competent attorney acts!) After the hearing, she met with my sister and me and apologized for being late, for going to the wrong courthouse, and said that she would work my case for free as I had been doing all of the research for the case. Well, a couple of months later she demanded payment for hours that she had said she was going to do for free. When I refused she went to the court and filed documents that she had sealed where I'm sure she lied some more.

Attorney McGarry not only helped me with a very difficult and time sensitive criminal case but also was always there for me speaking as one would a friend, not just a lawyer. Her office was easy to find, clean and her paralegal staff was really nice and helpful. Amy is competent, compassionate, carin...g and extremely effective in her practice. She answered all of my questions, always called me back or took my call right away, showed up to court on time and got me the best possible outcome for my case. Only a fool represents themselves in the eyes of the law and only a fool would not first hire Amy! Oh and she also has free half hour consultations which was very helpful! Thank you again and would DEFIANTLY refer her to anyone looking for an attorney.
