Lawyer jailed for £1.2m scam

A SOLICITOR who took more than £1.2m from a man disabled in a road crash has been jailed for 10 years.

Thomas McGoldrick, 59, of Faulkners Lane, Mobberley, who had law offices in London and Altrincham, took the money over a period of two-and-a-half-years until 2004.

The money had been awarded to Keith Anderson from Croydon as compensation after he was involved in a crash which left him in a wheelchair.
