McCarthy + Co Solicitors

I would highly recommend McCarthy + Co. Solicitors. I had a very positive experience going through the conveyancing process with Joseph McCarthy who handled both the sale and purchase of my properties. His advice was always considered and relevant. He kept me informed at all times and was happy to answer any queries I had promptly. I would have no hesitation giving him an excellent rating. House selling and buying can be a very stressful experience but the service provided ensured everything went smoothly."

Highly recommend

We were absolutely delighted with the service and support provided by both Leah Kelly and Emer O’Regan of McCarthy + Co Solicitors. From start to finish, they made what can often be a stressful process of buying and selling property feel clear, efficient, and fully under control. Both Leah and Emer went above and beyond, always willing to jump on a quick call to explain details, offer reassurance, or provide practical guidance at key moments.

Their conscientiousness, attention to detail, and genuinely thoughtful approach gave us complete confidence that everything was being handled meticulously and in our best interests. It was a huge comfort knowing we were in such capable hands.

We’re sincerely grateful for all their time, patience, and expertise, and we wouldn’t hesitate to return to them for any future transactions or to recommend them wholeheartedly to others.

A really professional firm

I’ve used many firms for both personal and company matters over the years, and having had several bad experiences was delighted with the service I received. Joseph was highly professional, warm, and always responded to emails quickly. I think it says a lot when a firm of solicitors puts itself out there looking for feedback in public platforms, and this gave me the confidence to use them, even though I live on the other side of the country to their office (this never presented any issues in our dealings). I would highly recommend them on their service and will certainly be using them again.

Thank you

I wrote to them about a family law matter. I was contacted the following day. Anne- Marie asked me few questions and despite knowing I was in Dublin and they could not take the case, she still asked me more details so she could help me. I felt heard and cared for. Thank you.

"I had a very positive experience with…McCarthy +Co. Solicitors.

"I had a very positive experience with McCarthy + Co. Solicitors. From day one I felt they were really interested in my case and getting the best possible outcome for me. The communication was top class from my solicitor Liam Crowley and from the secretaries. Each step was explained to me as to what I had to do and what was going to happen next. I was extremely happy with the outcome as it turned out to be better than I had expected.
At no stage did I feel rushed or pressurised into anything. When I needed to be contacted, I was contacted about developments.
The whole experience from start to finish was excellent and I would highly recommend this firm of McCarthy + Co. Solicitors to anyone.
Special mention to Liam Crowley, my solicitor. He simplified everything for me step by step. Thanks also to the secretaries who kept in contact when needed.
Overall, I had a very positive experience using McCarthy + Co. Solicitors and thanks again to all concerned."

Great Experience!

My prior experiences with other solicitors handling this situation were significantly negative. However, from our initial engagement, Leah (and Emer) demonstrated an exceptional level of understanding and helpfulness. Their communication was prompt and reliable, and they consistently acted with speed and efficiency to address and resolve all pending tasks. I unreservedly recommend Leah and look forward to working with her again for any future legal needs. Thank you both, Leah and Emer, for your excellent support throughout this lengthy process.

Review - McCarthy & Co

I have found Leah and her team at McCarthy + Co. a pleasure to deal with on both occasions that I have worked with them. I received high quality legal advice and a great level of client care, with attention paid to my needs. The quality of their service remained consistent, even in times of strict deadlines and time pressure. I would highly recommend their practice.

Excellent experience with McCarthy

I had an excellent experience with McCarthy & Co. LLP, particularly with Leah. Her team was incredibly responsive, answering all my questions promptly and clearly. The entire process was seamless, handled easily online via email, which made everything so convenient – I truly didn't have to do much at all! Whenever I had a concern, Leah was quick to reply and consistently went above and beyond to conduct thorough checks and alleviate any worries I had. I've already referred friends to them, and they've been just as happy with the service. Highly recommended!

Excellent experience

I had an excellent experience working with McCarthy + Co solicitors during the process of purchasing an apartment. From start to finish, Joseph McCarthy was incredibly professional, responsive, and thorough. He kept me informed at every stage, answered all my questions with clarity, and made what can be a stressful process feel smooth and manageable. His attention to detail and dedication gave me complete confidence that everything was being handled properly. I truly appreciate McCarthy's support and would highly recommend their services to anyone.

Divorce consultation

I consulted with Mc Carthy solicitors recently as a customer seeking to finalise a divorce out of a mediation agreement. I was 27 minutes into the online consultation and was asked to pay a significant retainer which is not mentioned anywhere on the website and had not been mentioned to me prior to the consultation. It was practically demanded as a once of payment which I feel the average person cannot afford. After 30 mins the consultation ended as after the retainer bombshell there was nothing further to discuss UPDATE they tried to ring me several times after this review but when I asked them to put down in writing what they wanted to discuss, they wouldn't...what did they want to say on the phone they weren't willing to put in writing? 🤔

Reply from McCarthy + Co Solicitors LLP

Hi John, we are very sorry that you felt your experience warranted a 1-star review. As you say, once we had outlined the course of action that we felt was most appropriate for you in your circumstances, we then outlined exactly what that was likely to cost. Family law proceedings can be expensive and we believe that it is important to be completely upfront and transparent about these costs from the outset. It is not possible to estimate likely costs accurately until we are in a position to understand and assess the facts and requirements of each individual case. As you point out, we set this out for you clearly within 27 minutes of the consultation as soon as we had established the facts. We respectfully disagree that we “demanded” payment, we simply explained to you the costs that would be involved with the course of action we had advised and then discussed some options for payment if you wished to proceed. We did try to follow up with you following your review to discuss the matter with you, to see if we could do anything to resolve matters to your satisfaction but unfortunately we were unable to speak with you. We regret that you were unhappy with your experience and that we were not a good fit for one another. We would like to wish you all of the best in your future endeavours and we hope that you obtain a satisfactory resolution of your matter. All the best from the Team at McCarthy + Co.

Review

From the very start I felt completely looked after by Liam and his team. From the initial phone call he listened to everything with a caring and sympathetic nature. I felt he genuinely cared for my welfare and I was always put at ease when I had enquiries. I would not hesitate to use this company again or to recommend to a friend or a family member. My case was handled swiftly and with integrity and the outcome far exceeded my expectations. I wish Liam and his team all the best in the future."

Outstanding Support

From Start to Finish, John and his team were extremely professional. Knowing it would be a long road, he took on my case and saw it out to the end with a positive result. The guidance and care that I was shown got me through the process. I would recommend McCarthy + Co. to all my family and friends for any future business. I will forever be indebted to John and his team for changing my life circumstances.

Mc Carthy + Co services for house transfer

I whole heartedly recommend McCarthy + Co. for all your legal needs. They, and in particular, Leah Kelly were efficient, professional, and timely throughout the process. From initial email contact, through cost and onto closing was far more pleasant and simple than I expected. My sincere thanks to Leah for making the entire process smooth without difficulty or delay. Now I own my own home! :)
