Kindness goes a long way
Leta, treated me with respect and kindness. She made me feel she was genuinely taking care of my best interests and kept me informed of the stages. Leta took my phone calls and dealt with me in person when she was available. Priceless in this day and age of being fobbed off to check things myself online. Very grateful, thank you.

One in a Million!
Leta Kerin has been my solicitor for years, and I truly couldn’t imagine navigating these important decisions without her. She’s more than just incredibly skilled—she’s a steady, reassuring presence who makes even the most complicated things feel manageable. With Leta, I know I’m in safe hands; she’s patient, kind, and takes the time to explain everything in a way that leaves me feeling confident and calm.
What makes Leta exceptional is how much she genuinely cares. She listens with empathy and treats each step as if it were her own, always making sure I feel fully supported. Her team is just as kind and professional, adding to the comfort of working with her.
I really can’t recommend Leta enough. She’s not only a brilliant solicitor but a truly compassionate person who makes all the difference during life’s big moments.

best service and good price
In the terms she gave me, wrote that they would not charge money for the first two unsuccessful transactions, which shocked me. This is something that many other places can't do. I regret getting to know her too late. Other lawyers I found when I sold the house still charge for unsuccessful transactions, even unreasonable ones. This will not happen here. The interest earned on the deposit transferred to the lawyer in advance will be returned to you. I can't think of any reason not to recommend her
