I was represented by a Mr Cleary (hope I've spelt the name correctly) in magistrates court for a driving offence and even though the police painted an extremely bias and unfair picture of me, Mr Cleary took time to address every accusation in court. He's an excellent solutior and a credit to his company and his profession!

It's a small family run solicitors firm; with no more than 3 employees. I've not actually used them for any legal case but got advice on my legal issues. Nice friendly staff and i was happy with service. The drop in stars is due to not knowing of they open or not. Most days ok but you might come another day and it closed (and closed very frequently).
