Solicitor on compensation charges

by Murdo Maguire — last modified 09-05-2006 08:15

A 58-year-old solicitor has appeared in court accused of taking £900,000 compensation money from one of his clients, a road crash victim. Thomas McGoldrick faced 41 charges of false accounting, three of money laundering and one of forgery, at Trafford magistrates' court.

Mr McGoldrick, of Mobberley, Cheshire, is accused of taking the money between June 2002 and December 2004. He ran practices in Altrincham, Greater Manchester, and Croydon, London. Mr McGoldrick has been suspended from practice.

He was released on conditional bail to reappear at Trafford Magistrates' Court for a committal hearing on 31 July.
