McGarry Law LLP

Janice McKenna

Solicitor - Partner

SRA ID: 148374

I was admitted as a solicitor in 1990 after completing my training, working first as an Articled Clerk and then as an Assistant Solicitor for Sunderland firm MacKenzie Bell of John’s Street. After moving to the Darlington area in around 1997 I worked as a Solicitor, specialising in personal injury litigation and all aspects of family work for Tilly Bailey & Irvine Solicitors at their Barnard Castle office. I worked for TBI for three years during which time I married and then stopped work for ten years in order to raise my two sons. I was tempted back to work by Michael who wanted to provide family and matrimonial services to his clients. I became a partner in 2012 and I have been very fortunate in being able to specialise in the areas of work which most interest me and they are Matrimonial, Children and all aspects of Family matters generally.

APPALLED. LET DOWN SERVICE.

Michael McGarry has dealt with my grandfather's situation APPALLINGLY! Our family has been going through emotional turmoil with his declining mental state and Michael McGarry was the appointed deputy dealing with his affairs which include the sale of a property through Court of Protection. His children and his wife have been stressed with the hold up, not the courts hold up but because of McGarry and Co. not responding to them, not actioning things, not involving the family, not chasing things up in a timely manner. At current, nothing seems outstanding yet the property sale proceedings are still halted. I have tried to contact Michael McGarry myself but the office just flip me off in a "not your business" attitude! This is my family McGarry and Co are upsetting and that's really been hard to watch on top of what's going on with my granddad. Please run far away from them! I've just read another review where they've let a property rot away for over 3 years!!! I am from a legal background myself and will be looking to make enquiries with the Law Society and Courts on having Michael McGarry audited and investigated on his approach to dealing with CoP matters as evidence suggests this man is UNFIT to deal with them!!! I cannot believe mine and so many other families in a fragile state are left to trust this man with their livelihoods!!
We had many ideas on ensuring my granddad experiences the best of life but McGarry and Co. sure have put a stop to all that. They are definitely playing games and I will urge the regulation bodies to investigate them.
