Came here late in my case after having been thrown to wall from a previous solicitor (Jarlath feilds). They did everything they could to undo the damage he had already cause and it was no hassle to them. Top quality solicitors who where happy to go above and beyond for me. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Madden and Finucane to anyone who needs them.
