One call was all it took

I received a semi-serious speeding ticket in upstate New York. As a resident of Virginia, I was rightly worried about this whole process. I researched lawyers in the area where I received the ticket and Kevin came up with great reviews. I called him and he explained everything in just a couple minute...s. He was upfront about his fee, what I was looking at from a legal perspective and what to expect.during the process.  I'm so happy I chose Kevin. He literally did everything. In fact, it was so easy, I forget I even had this going on. He saved me hundreds of dollars in fines and saved me some points as well. I highly recommend him.

Exceeded Expectations

When I got pulled over 2+ hours from home for speeding I knew I needed to hire a professional to take care of the case for me. After thorough online research I decided to contact Kevin McGarry and it was the best decision I could have made. I have 3 previous incidents on my driving record and was jus...t hoping for no points to be added to my license. Mr. McGarry was able to get my ticket reduced to a parking ticket which will not show up on my driving record at all!! During the time I needed his services he was always available to answer my questions and was very easy to communicate with. I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome and highly recommend him!

Highly Recommended

I average 45k-60k miles behind the wheel every year as a field service technician so inevitably I run into the law from time to time. Over the past couple years I've had three instances of traffic violations, one major and two fairly minor. I asked Kevin to handle the major one and one of the smaller... ones. I was absolutely thrilled with the entire process when Kevin was involved. The third time I hired a lawyer from a ticket reduction "mill" and was promised excellent results, but instead was talked into a plea bargain that I should have never accepted because ticket "mill" practices just want to negotiate a quick plea reduction via the mail and go no further. Kevin has a small practice where he focuses on you and your situation uniquely, not just running you through a cookie cutter plea deal process. He answers quickly, and is down to earth about the whole process. He's absolutely the only lawyer I will be using and recommending for traffic tickets big or small.

The BEST EVER!!

Mr. McGarry was contacted via email on a Sunday. He replied to me He contacted me almost immediately with clear instructions on how to proceed should I chose to do so. And it was a Sunday afternoon. I chose to retain him based on his accuracy and detailed easy to follow instructions. He has proved... to be the best yet! He has resolved my traffic ticket and saved me much $$ and 6 points on my license. I never had to appear in court and all was done via email.

I contacted Kevin about a 4 point speeding ticket (my first in many years). After giving me guidance on what the penalties would be and how he could help to reduce them, I hired Kevin to plead the ticket for me. He was able to reduce the ticket to a no point infraction and a much smaller fine that ...I was very pleased with. Easy to contact and work with.
