Barristers

Hey not looking for any legal advice or anything just wondering if any of you have ever had dealings with any barristers in the Dublin and Eastern regions? Can anyone recommend a barrister dealing in criminal law?

Barristers are prohibited from having direct access with their clients. In order to engage a Barrister you will have to hire a solicitor who will choose the best counsel for the job.

Not strictly true. It depends what the OP needs the barrister for

'...The bodies must formally apply for inclusion on the Register and satisfy the Bar Council that:

(1) their members provide skilled and specialist services; and
(2) the body has a significant need for a barrister’s services.
(3) The body must also show that their affairs and conduct are regulated by a constitution that governs...'

Individuals must still engage a solicitor. From a practical POV it is also best to engage a solicitor first as they will have had prior dealings with counsel and will be able to advise which counsel would be suited to the matter at hand.

but again it still depends on what the OP requires a barrister for there is not much detail in the post it could be on behalf of a body who knows?

I am locking this thread - go to a solicitor - that's your route to the best in the country.
