“I would strongly recommend Kevin Hegarty, of O'Reilly Stewart Solicitors, to anyone requiring legal advice and assistance. Kevin came highly recommended to me and he did not disappoint. From my first meeting with Kevin he demonstrated a level of integrity and competence which I found very reassuring. Kevin was supportive throughout the entire process and his advice regarding; the best course of action, typical time frames, potential costs and likely outcome was very helpful (and accurate). I was provided with regular updates and, when unavailable, Kevin returned my calls promptly. I am very grateful to Kevin for his professionalism and exceptional support in bringing my case to a satisfactory conclusion.”

“I chose O’Reilly Stewart to represent my family in a sensitive case involving a parent. This was one of the best decisions I have made. I can only describe it as professionally dealt with and we as a family were kept up to date and informed with relevant information. In a world of hustle and bustle it was refreshing and reassuring to know that there are still companies who care for their clients / customers and show the respect they deserve, while doing this with professionalism and care. Thank you to O’Reilly Stewart and Mr Kevin Hegarty.”

Kevin Hegarty was my representative in a personal injury case which had been ongoing for some time, after taking over from a colleague. Throughout his time with my case Kevin consistently kept me well informed of any progress and next steps and he was always very easy to reach and to communicate with, which I really appreciated. Kevin and colleagues secured the best possible outcome for my case and I am truly grateful for all the work that went in to achieving this. Kevin’s work made dealing with a difficult situation much easier, and I would not hesitate to recommend him for his professionalism and outstanding service. Many thanks.
