Why Do Clients Value Our Service?
I am very thankful to have all your firm’s expertise and advice there to draw upon – I couldn’t have gone through this process without it.

R. M.- Family Law Matter

Clear Solicitors have advised us on a number of occasions over the past few years including the purchase and sale of properties, the development of Wills and with employment advice. We have found Kerry, Demelza and the team to be very responsive, informed and diligent in all of our engagements with them. They always seemed to go the extra mile and have our best interests at heart in all of the advice we received, bearing in mind our stage of life at the different times we sought counsel, and making sure we made the best decisions for ourselves and our family. We wouldn’t hesitate in seeking advice from Clear Solicitors again and in recommending them to others requiring sound legal counsel.

P.P & D. P.- Various Family Matters

Valerie and her colleagues at Clear Solicitors were an invaluable source of advice and expertise for us, as we navigated the purchase of our first home amidst the uncertainty and irregularities brought about by COVID-19. Valerie kept us informed at every stage, explaining the myriad steps involved and streamlining the process, which took the stress out of an otherwise stressful experience. We would enthusiastically recommend Clear Solicitors to anyone considering the purchase of their first home.

C. G. and K. F.

At Stillorgan Décor we have used Clear Solicitors for many years for both personal and business legal advice and have found them to be outstanding , their attention to detail is second to none and as we are both second generation businesses it is gratifying to see the continuity being maintained into the future

D.McC. - Company Client- Family Business

I take great pleasure in recommending Clear Solicitors – the service & guidance they provided me made the experience of procuring my first home an enjoyable one! Clear Solicitors were suggested to me with high regard, by my broker and I couldn’t have asked for a more professional team. Demelza & Kerry made themselves available to me, for the smallest of queries, reassuring me throughout the unfamiliar and daunting process. So satisfied with their support and legal counsel I used them to write my will as well. I now, happily consider them my family solicitors for all of my future needs.

D.- First Time Buyer

“Clear Solicitors were recommended to us by my boss. They took care of all legal aspects involved in our recent house purchase, and they demonstrated tremendous skill, experience and attention to detail. The fees they quoted and charged us were transparent and utterly fair. Kerry and Demelza are a pleasure to deal with, very fast to respond to queries, and we felt we simply could not have received better service. We’d recommend them to anyone.”
