Client Testimonials

I dealt with Seamus Maguire & Co. on the sudden death of my brother, who died intestate. Shona Madden dealt with his estate. There were a number of complexities and she dealt with me both efficiently and sensitively. It was a lengthy process, but she was extremely knowledgeable and put me at ease throughout the process by explaining things extremely well. This was really important for me as a non legal person, who was appointed to act on behalf of my siblings. The reception staff were also most efficient, they were courteous and friendly at every interaction and messages were passed on efficiently. I would have no hesitation in recommending this firm.
