To practise in Ireland a solicitor must be on the Roll of Solicitors kept by the Law Society of Ireland and hold a current practising certificate. You can search any solicitor or firm on the Law Society's Find a Solicitor register. Complaints about a solicitor's services or conduct go to the Legal Services Regulatory Authority (LSRA). Lawvoo lists firms from the details they publish themselves — check the register before you instruct a firm.
Your details come to Lawvoo first. We pass your enquiry only to the firm you chose and ask them to contact you — we can't guarantee they'll reply. Using Lawvoo is free. For personal injury, contact a firm directly through its own website.
