Criminal Law & Road Traffic Offences

At McCarthy Solicitors, we provide a full range of services in the area of Criminal Law and Road Traffic matters at both District and Circuit Court level.  We know being charged with any offence can be stressful and the prospect of being before a court extremely daunting. As a criminal conviction can have serious implications it is vital you receive and obtain proper legal advice. 

Even in instances in which you are pleading guilty it is highly recommended that you be represented in Court and for a solicitor to mitigate on your behalf.  In some circumstances it is possible to have an offence dismissed under the Probation Act thus avoiding a conviction.  In the case of a first offence for driving without insurance, for example, the court has the discretion, in special circumstances not to impose a disqualification.  At McCarthy Solicitors we will meet your case in the most appropriate manner to achieve the best outcome for you.

We regularly attend Bandon District Court as well as District & Circuit Courts throughout the county and city.  We are happy to act as “agent” for other firms if they are unable to attend court in our District Court area.

We are registered with the Legal Aid Board.
