Recommend a good solicitor (bound to be a few :) )

irishshogun

Hi
I'm selling up and moving to a new house, can anyone recommend a good (not too expensive) solicitor in Limerick, last guy was an eejit, took forever and cost too much.
Appreciate any help, personal experience much appreciated

Thanks.

Mr E

I used Michael O'Connor (DJ O'Malley & Co. Solicitors) for my house a few years ago (based on a recommendation too) .... no problems, and not too expensive. They're at 9 Glentworth Street.

Who was the last guy? No need to be libelous, just give an honest apprasail of their abilities.

Please don't mention any names... You can go into as much detail as you want about how they messed you around, but do NOT mention names please.

Surely we should know who the last crappy solicitor was so we can avoid them ourselves?

I have bought and sold, then bought another with Michael. I used to work in auctioneering not too far from him so I knew who would be good etc. Bottom line, he ALWAYS gets back to you and he is pretty much always in the office when you want him. With most other solicitors they are constantly monotone and spinning you the legal bull**** whereas Michael has a personality of his own.

Highly recommended, as I said above I have had 3 housing transactions through him and couldn't imagine using anybody else. Am dealing with him on another issue at the moment aswell.

Feel free to ask questions.

Thanks lads I appreciate the info, I'll def look into him, the last solicitor was based in Scariff Co. Clare, I'll leave it at that, but it was a straight purchase, first time buyers with bank mortgage approved and it look 6 months for it to be sorted out and he charged us nearly 3 grand, we were stupid, and naive but not anymore.

think i know who you mean. would i be right in saying he doesnt really know who you are when you ring?

We used Wallace & Reidy Solicitors also on Glenthworth Street last year when buying our house. No problems with them, they have been our family's solicitors for many years too.

irishshogun

Thanks baz, any idea of cost, Mr E i'd appreciate it if you could tell me what you paid too,

Thanks

Mr E

Truthfully? I can't remember... it was 2 years ago. It was reasonable though (I remember thinking that I thought it would be more expensive)

Hi,

I have used Wallace Reidy on 3 separate occasions when buying and selling property. Very efficient to deal with and a very pleasant manner. Cant remember the exact fees but I was happy with what I paid. Sinead Baggott was the last person in there whom I dealt with. Couldnt fault her really. I'd recommend them.

irishshogun

Thanks Homer j, I'll give them a ring too.

Hi there,

I used Shire Solicitors for my property and as have several members of my family. Owned by Simon Shire. Found him to be very reliable and reasonable. Based in Lisnagry.
