We will be with you every step of the way, and keep you up to date until the day you stand in your new hallway, with your keys in your hand.

Google Search results can influence career opportunities, trust, and public credibility. happily, the EU gives people the right to be forgotten. In practice, this means is that if you search for your name, you are permitted to apply to Google and other search engines to have specific results suppressed.

We have acted successfully for multiple clients in this area across an array of scenarios, including the removal of court reports of embarrassing behaviour when much younger, or irrelevant returns that you don’t want coming up again and again.

Simon was extremely patient and more importantly the empathy that was shown to me at a very difficult sensitive time was truly outstanding and very much appreciated. I wholeheartedly recommend McGarr Solicitors as a chosen probate firm.

Maria Brophy

I knew moving house would be a stressful experience, but Dervila made it as straightforward and stress-free as possible. She updated me on every step of the purchase from both our side and the other side, and was always happy to answer every question we had.

Cliona Saidlear

I trust Simon implicitly. He’s handled some tough situations for me, and he’s done so with the best balance of professionalism and compassion. I was so much less stressed knowing I was in good hands. He’s one of the most honest people I know, and I recommend him to everyone.
