Ticket Attorney

Attorney McGarry is extremely prompt in his replies, gives upfront information specific for your case about costs and potential outcomes and he delivers as promised. He is honest and fair and treats people with respect and consideration.

Acceptable Due Process

Was in search for a lawyer in the Guilderland area of the county. Since, I was new to the area, I didn't have any information on records of attorneys handling vehicle infractions. Very stressful and unknowing. Called a few attorneys off their web sites but was either not contacted or contacted after ...several days of waiting. After calling Mr McGarry's office, Kevin returned my call within 15 min. of me leaving a message. He was very up front about fees and expectations of my case. All of our communication was done on line, after our initial phone call and was handled quite efficiently. Did not require an appearance in court and the fine and fees were what I expected them to be. I am glad I choose to use Mr.McGarry and will not hesitate to contact his office again for future consultations.

Out of state speeding ticket reduction

I got popped with a speeding ticket driving in upstate NY, and I live out of state, so I did a little research and called around for lawyers to consult and potentially help me get out of the ticket. I chose to work with Kevin McGarry because he was optimistic but frank that there are no guarantees in... these matters. With his help, I was able to get a plea offer for a nonmoving violation (i.e., no points on my license and no corresponding insurance hike).

Excellent Service, Successful Outcome

Mr. Kevin took care of my speeding ticket case in a NY court and I was totally satisfied by his performance and the outcome he was able to achieve. I was in transit in I-90/NY and got stopped by a highway patrol officer for a 80/55 speeding ticket- which is a 6 point and $$$. I contacted Kevin and ...he explained to me what should I expect and how he will handle my case. He seemed to be very clear and honest on the phone and he proved to be so. He was very responsive when I had inquiries via phone or email. This was very valuable for someone like me with no previous experience handling traffic tickets. Mr. Kevin was able to negotiate and reduce my case to a smaller charge with no points and less fees - he saved me at least $600 of fees. I strongly recommend Kevin to handle ant NY traffic case. Thank you Kevin.

Really honest, helpful lawyer!

I sent him an online inquiry about getting a 4 point ticket talked down while already having 4 points on my record from speeding. Within 10 minutes of clicking "submit" on the form, he contacted me via email. Despite not being able to help me due to some specifics of my case, he was very honest and t...old me all he could feasibly do for me would be to handle it by mail for a reduction, but that is something I could do myself without paying an attorney's fee, and he gave me detailed instructions on how to do so. I would highly recommend him to others seeking legal counsel on traffic violations.

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
