Finding a reliable solicitor in Ireland isn’t an easy job.
It’s like searching for a needle in a haystack, blindfolded, wearing boxing gloves.
Don’t get me wrong, there’s a rake of solicitors out there who have your best interests at heart and will treat you like an actual person instead of “billable hours”, but finding one is not easy.
So I’m glad you found this page.
You can relax now because:
With that said, on we go.
I know what you’re thinking.
Do I even need a solicitor for my mortgage?
Yes, unless you want to try and sort out the legal side of your house purchase yourself.
Yeah, you might be handy with a tin of paint or know your way around a car engine, but c’mon, wise up, you’re no legal eagle.
You need a solicitor when you’re buying (or selling) a property.
If you’re a first-time buyer in Ireland, the solicitor part of purchasing a home is key.
You want to make there are no skeletons in the cupboard, literal or figurative because once you have bought the house, you have very little comeback.
So when spending hundreds of thousands, you want a solicitor that will do ALL the due diligence before you sign your binding contracts.
Also, you’re going to have a million questions so you want a solicitor that is patient and responsive/
And I want to help you find a good’un.
They paid me a fortune.
Yeah, right; if you know solicitors, you know they’re pretty tight with the old wallet.
Like, if you’re ever out with a solicitor, make sure they get the first round in.
I’m allowed to say this as I was one of them for a while (UCD Law 99 – yep, I’m THAT old ), so I have a few solicitor friends, but none appear on this list because that sort of nepotism wouldn’t be fair, now would it?
The solicitors I have listed come highly rated by their clients on the Facebook First-time Buyer Page and have exceptional Google reviews.
Now, I could give you recommendations for the best solicitors in the country, but there’s nothing worse than thinking you’ve found the perfect solicitor only to discover they’re all the way down in Cork when you’re living near Malin Head.
So, I’m going to break it down by each county.
Also, picking a solicitor is just like choosing a therapist.
Sometimes you just don’t click.
It doesn’t mean you sack the whole thing in; you try a new one until you find the right fit.
That’s why I’ve given you a choice of two from each county.
Now, a disclaimer (it is a page about solicitors, so I’m legally obliged to add a disclaimer).
The list is only my opinion (with google’s help); always do your own research. If it all goes wrong, don’t blame me!
Here goes:
Parker Law: brilliant – based in Waterford but very responsive over email

You can check her mentions there; all the reviews are glowing.
In the big schmoke, you have hundreds of solicitors to choose from.
