Home Sale/Purchase

Kevin worked with us on the sale of our home and the purchase of our new home. He was extremely thorough with both transactions. I felt he paid attention to detail and took the time to explain all of the small print that we may have missed, or didn't understand. My husband owned our old home and I wa...s a first time home buyer. Buying a home is such an intimidating process. We felt very comfortable and secure knowing Kevin was looking out for our best interest. He kept us informed and was easy to get a hold of when we needed him. There were a couple of hiccups (as there sometimes can be with this type of transaction) that he ironed out as quickly they popped up. I Highly recommend using Kevin if you need an attorney!

McGarry Law

Kevin McGarry did an excellent job on reducing my first speeding ticket to a minor violation with only a small fine. Mr. McGarry kept me very well informed through each step of this process. I am very happy with the help I received and would recommend the services of McGarry Law.

Thanks Kevin!

My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Kevin recently, when we closed on our first home. We had such a great experience working with Kevin, and would highly recommend him to others. Similar to another rater, we offered on multiple homes within the same buying experience, and Kevin was th...ere every step of the way. He offered us sound advice on a home that we initially loved, but that had multiple, serious repairs needed. Without his honest opinion, I'm afraid we would have ended up with the nightmare house, and not the one we fell in love with weeks later. He shared parts of his own home-buying experience, which was great... we really valued his own experience! What I appreciated most about Kevin was his availability to talk- regardless of time of day, or how long the conversation was. We are so grateful for his expertise, and will certainly plan on using him in the future!

Kevin McGarry is the best!!!!!

As a first time home buyer, I was instantly overwhelmed with the home-buying process and the legalities that I didn't understand. Kevin was wonderful in assisting my fiancé and I with our home purchase. I never felt that I was bothering Kevin. He always answered his phone and emails quickly and expla...ined everything thoroughly- even questions I thought were silly! We spent several nights chatting on speakerphone- my fiancé, Kevin and I and we learned he's just a great person as well! The first home we were considering buying had a legal situation that wasn't very common- Kevin advised us against a potential costly problem if we bought that house. Kevin doesn't make any money if we don't close- so he definitely put us first when advising us against a property we had our hearts set on. I felt so bad that he did so much work and wasn't going to get reimbursed until we found our property. He wasn't bothered at all- and was happy to help us. Good thing he did because we found the PERFECT home for us about a week later. After we found the home, the rest of the process was SO EASY! Kevin handled everything without any speed-bumps and when we met him at the close he was very professional. It was funny because I didn't know that everyone gets paid out of the bank check so I tried paying Kevin with a check I wrote during the closing and he laughed and explained that he gets paid out of the bank check. I was mildly embarrassed but I just wanted to make sure he got compensated for his excellent service! By the way- his fees are extremely reasonable. I actually think he should charge more! Anyways, I HIGHLY recommend Kevin McGarry for legal services and if I ever need assistance again I would seek out his advice in a heartbeat! Thank you so much Kevin!!!
