Disorganised and unprofessional

1

On the day of court John didn’t attend and didn’t even know what I was pleading he sent another lawyer that didn’t know anything about the case and couldn’t even pronounce my second name. I am very disappointed with the way the case was handled and feel very let down

Sexual Assault.

5

I am a joiner and went to a flat to give a quote regarding a job. The next day I was flabbergasted when my boss phoned me and said the police arrived and said the female claimed I sexually assaulted her. I have a wife and a young child and my family were in a state of shock. I contacted John kilcoyne solicitor after much consideration and hesitation on what solicitor to engage. The service provided was outstanding from the police interview to the eventual trial. I had to instruct two expert witnesses one being a DNA expert. The trial was conducted by John kilcoyne and the performance was outstanding. I was found Not Guilty.

Historical Sexual Abuse.

5

My life was turned upside down in 2020. I was in a reationship with two children. The police turned up and said they wanted to question me about sexual offences from 20 years ago. At that time I was a teenager. It transpired three of my cousins, who were considerably younger than me, had made these false historical allegations. I immediately thought that this was a family fued and they were in collusion in relation to the sexual assault allegations. I knew I required the best lawyer in this area to deal with my case. After much consideration I chose John Kilcoyne & Co. The service provided was exceptional and from the very start exstensive enquires began. I had to wait for over 2 years for the trial to take place. I knew a guilty verdict would result in a definite prison sentence. I would lose my partner and children for a significant number of years. The performance in court was exceptional and I think the jury did have concerns that the complainers had colluded. As my counsel said if you get 3 quotes from tradesman and they are all the same price it would suggest collusion. The relief when the jury came back with a not guilty verdict was indescribable. Myself and my family owe our life to this Firm of Solicitors.
