Peter O'Connor & Son LLP Solicitors & Notaries

I recently was sworn in as a naturalised citizen of the Republic of Ireland. The person who deserves the bulk of the credit for making this years-long dream a reality is Melanie Ryan, a solicitor at Peter O’Connor & Son LLP in Waterford. Although it’s possible to navigate the complicated path to citizenship by yourself, I wholeheartedly recommend Melanie’s professional services. Her expertise in immigration law and years of practical experience are incredibly invaluable. Melanie did more than guide me through the application process. She completed all the online documents on my behalf, using the information I provided. To every question I asked (and I had many), Melanie provided the answers. Beyond her in-depth knowledge, Melanie was also an unfaltering advocate from day one. Here’s just one example. When correspondence with the Department of Justice seemed to dissipate, Melanie intervened. A short time later a message from the Citizenship Division arrived in my inbox. It was as if my application had suddenly been elevated from the “dormant” pile to the “active” pile. Less than one year from the time Melanie reached out to the Department of Justice, I received the official notification that the Minister of Justice was granting my application for Irish citizenship. Go raibh maith agat (thank you), Melanie Ryan!

I recently used Caitriona Kiely for the sale of my property and was extremely pleased with the service provided. The entire process was handled professionally, efficiently and with great attention to detail. I was a bit aprehensive as I live away and was selling my property in Waterford but things couldn't have gone any smoother. Communication was excellent throughout, and I was kept informed at every stage of the transaction. Any questions I had were answered promptly and clearly, which made what can be a stressful process much easier. I would highly recommend Caitriona Kiely to anyone looking for a reliable and professional service. Thank you for making the sale of my property proceed so smoothly.

Paul and Jo were wonderful to deal with as we purchased our first home. This was all new to us and they made the process very straightward and were always onhand to answer any questions or concerns that we had. Would highly recommend!

Excellent service from Peter O'Connor Solicitors. We are very grateful for their professional assistance in obtaining a Decision Making Representation Order for myself and my sisters. Paul, Libby and Melanie were knowledgeable, supportive, and made what could have been a difficult situation much easier to navigate. Their expertise in this area was evident, and we felt well-guided every step of the way. Highly recommend their services.

I would like to sincerely thank Paul Murran of Peter O'Connor & Son Solicitors for his outstanding support throughout what could have been a very complex and stressful process. Paul helped me through the application for Decision Making Representative (DMR) and the subsequence court review one year later, with absolute professionalism and clarity. Both Paul and Libby Walsh were exceptionally professional, approachable and reassuring at every stage. They handled all aspects of the process so efficiently that my only responsibility was to attend on the court dates. Paul's preparation and attention to detail were evident and it was particularly reassuring to hear the presiding Judge compliment Paul for consistently presenting his cases in such a comprehensive manner. I could not have asked for a better representation and would highly recommend Paul Murran and the team at Peter O'Connor & Sons Solicitors.
