How it works

Four steps, and you know where you stand after the first one.

Step one

You get in touch

Call 0818 44 55 66 or send a short note. Tell us roughly what you need. You do not need documents yet.

Step two

We agree the scope

A short conversation sets out what the work involves, who will do it and what we need from you.

Step three

Charges go in writing

Before work starts you receive a section 150 notice setting out our fees, the outlays and the VAT.

Step four

The work is reported

We update you at each stage and confirm in writing when a step is finished, so nothing goes quiet.

In their words

What clients say about working with us.

Conveyancing

We bought our first house through Finnegan Maguire. Every step was explained before it happened, and the bill matched the estimate to the euro.

M. O'S., Killorglin
Wills

Siobhán made our wills in one evening appointment and sent the drafts two days later in plain English. It was far easier than we had feared.

P. and C. D., Milltown
Probate

After my father died I had no idea where to start. They took the whole estate off my hands and rang every few weeks to say where things stood.

J. C., Glenbeigh
Commercial lease

A clear answer on our lease within two days, and a fixed fee in writing before any work started.

Testimonials are published with the client's written consent. None of them relate to injury or negligence work, and none of them describe the outcome of a case.

Tool

Work out the stamp duty on a house before you bid.

Stamp duty on residential property is charged at one per cent up to one million euro, two per cent on the part between one and one and a half million, and six per cent above that. Move the slider to see the figures.

Stamp duty is paid to Revenue, not to us. These are the residential rates. Different rates apply to non residential property and to bulk purchases of houses. This is a guide, not advice on your transaction.

Notes

Short pieces on the things clients ask about.

No commentary on cases. Just the process, the paperwork and the timing, written once and kept up to date.
