“I want to express my gratitude to everyone at the Sinnott team for their invaluable assistance during my naturalisation process, with special recognition for Úna O’Brien. I reached out to Sinnott Solicitors in 2022, and the team directed me to Úna. Una’s help and support has been exceptional; she meticulously considered all aspects, provided ongoing follow-ups, and offered detailed advice to ensure that I remained informed about my visa status while my citizenship application was in progress. I have received confirmation that my application has been approved. I extend my heartfelt thanks to Úna for her tireless efforts and the exceptional attention she devoted to my case and to the wider Sinnott Team.”

She took all on board, provided continues follow up and detailed advise to ensure I was up-to-date with my visa while my citizenship application was ongoing. Today I just became an Irish citizen.

Keep up the good work. Thank you so much.”

I have been dealing with Sinnott Solicitors for over 7 years, and highly recommend them to anyone, as they are very professional, very helpful and ensure a high-quality service for visa applications through to Citizenship every step of the way. I can’t thank them enough for their dedication. Thank you, Una O’Brian and Orla McKenna for everything.

Sometimes the most important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seems to be no hope. This is our delighted client Mehdi Khoddam. Mehdi is from Iran who came to Ireland with his family in 2011. We are thrilled to say that Mehdi finally obtained his Irish Citizenship after a hard fought battle which begun in 2016 culminating in three successful applications to the High Court for Judicial Review. It was a just result and Sinnott Solicitors wish Mehdi and his family every success in the future.

Mehdi Khoddam

“I would have no hesitation in recommending Sinnott Solicitors, in particular Una and Louise, for their excellent and professional service. Despite all the difficulties caused by covid I have received my Irish Passport and the safe return of my documents. I am very thankful to them all for their hard work.”

Ann in Sussex

I contacted Sinnott Solicitors while I was applying for an Irish passport. The process had started in February 2021 and was not complete in mid July, at which point I needed my British passport, submitted with the application, returned so that I could travel in August.

After a call to the Irish passport office, when I was told it would take 15 working days to return it if I cancelled the application, I asked Sinnott to intervene. When there was no response to their first approach, they wrote a firmly-worded letter threatening legal action if my British passport was withheld any longer, and it was then returned to me after less than 15 days. My Irish passport followed and all other submitted documents were returned promptly.

I was very happy with the process of taking instructions and the service provided, which exceeded my expectations.

James Hervey-Bathurst

I am really happy to receive my Certificate of Naturalisation. This has become possible after the tremendous efforts by Una O’ Brien , Sinnott Solicitors who have handled successfully my case of refusal through JR. I am specially thankful to Una and her team who dealt my case efficiently. I had a very good experience with Sinnott Solicitors. Thanks

Here is our client Lukmon Busari with his children who recently arrived to Ireland.

Lukmon is working as a nurse in Ireland and applied for visas for his children to join him and his wife here. Lukmon had been waiting for a decision on his children’s visa applications for over 20 months. He came to Sinnott Solicitors for assistance, and following our intervention, the visas were swiftly issued. Here is what Lukmon had to say about his experience:

“Dear Una, I will love to join all my family members to thank you and your firm in assisting us with our case with Irish embassy Abuja. Without your intervention, may be we will not be here today. Am grateful and will always spread the word about good work you are doing.  My kids arrived yesterday. Thanks Lukmon Busari “

Lukmon Busari

I would highly recommend Sinnott Solicitors, having being on the wait since I applied for my citizenship and not knowing my fate as when I would get a reply. I had to contact Sinnott Solicitors through their Website and I asked for Una specifically.  She heard of my case and my confidence revived. Una took over my case, and I have to say that, it was very professional, and she would constantly keep me updated through email.  You made my case come easier than expected.  You’re simply an amazing and best solicitor I have come in contact so far. Thanks so so much.

Here is Nuri Agaci talking about his experience with Sinnott Solicitors. Nuri is a national of Albania who applied for international protection in March 2015. We assisted him with his application and instituted judicial review proceedings on his behalf, which ended up being litigated in the Supreme Court. Nuri was recently granted permission to reside in Ireland on humanitarian grounds. Another successful outcome and very happy client.

Nuri Agaci

Sinnott solicitors are professionals highly recommended to everyone. My husband’s appeal visa processing was halted for more than a year. Una from Sinnott stepped in and in the course of 1 month visa was granted. My 9month old baby is so happy to see the father for the 1st time????????. Thanks to Sinnott.

Mohammed came to Ireland with his family from Somalia 26 years ago and grew up in Dublin. Mohammed instructed Sinnott Solicitors in 2010 after already receiving 6 citizenship application refusals. After two more attempts, making a record of 8 applications in total, he has finally been approved his Irish citizenship. The immigration team at Sinnott Solicitors who have worked with Mohammed for the past 11 years were absolutely thrilled with the decision to grant Mohammed his Irish citizenship.

Here is what Mohammed has to say about his experience with Sinnott Solicitors. Congratulations Mohammed and good luck with your bright and happy future as an Irish citizen. 

Mohammed Dirir

I felt that I should write to you one more time in order to properly express my appreciation of your firm’s outstanding service. I was very disappointed when my 2016 FBR application was turned down. I had studied the guidelines carefully and was convinced that I was entitled to Irish citizenship. It was my great fortune to discover your website when I was scratching my head about what to do next. Your positive response to my query and your can-do approach was exactly what was needed at the time, and I wish now that I had known to consult you at the very beginning. I am also mindful of the very generous reduction of your standard fees in my case.

Having had my EU citizenship abruptly removed through no fault of my own, this application seemed the obvious step to take, but as I researched and thought about my family history, it became a question of identity as well. That’s why I was so disappointed at the initial rejection and why I am so delighted at our success now. It is about so much more than just having a red passport (important though that is). Now I can hardly wait for the travel restrictions to end so that I can visit Ireland again.

I need hardly add that I will give Sinnott Solicitors the highest recommendation if the opportunity arises. I will never forget what you have done for me Carol and I remain, your firm’s most satisfied client.

Here is our client Pedhram Forghani who was recently granted a Critical Skills Employment Permit to work in Ireland. Pedhram is a qualified dentist who had previously worked in Ireland. His whose employer submitted an application for an employment permit on his behalf which was refused as the incorrect employment permit had been applied for. His employer subsequently contacted the Immigration Department of Sinnott Solicitors who advised on the appropriate permit which Pedhram was eligible to be granted and submitted a new application on his behalf. The application was approved without difficulty and a very happy Pedhram is now returning to Ireland to take up his position as a Dental Surgeon in Wicklow. Congratulations Pedhram.

I had a very complicated Immigration case whereby they intended to revoke my permission but Una, the great one with too much immigration experiences sorted me out, in less than 8 weeks my permission was reinstated.I recommend anyone that desires positive results, pls look for Una in Sinnott solicitors because they’re more than good.

Thank you for putting smile on my face again.

My name is Sonnier Mendoza and I am Filipino national and I have lived in Ireland since 2008. In 2013, I was contacted by the Department of Justice who questioned my legal status to live here and requested a lot of information and documentation from me. Accordingly, I commissioned Una O’Brien of Sinnott Solicitors to represent me in my communication with the DoJ. Sinnotts came highly recommended to me as a firm specialising in immigration law and I needed someone with this knowledge and expertise. For the last eight years, Una has advised me on all of the legal implications concerning my case. She also contacted the DoJ on my behalf and represented me in all communications with them.I’m delighted to report that as a result of Una’s hard work and commitment to ensuring a positive outcome from my case, I have been granted leave to remain in the Sate and I am entitled to work here without a work permit. I couldn’t have achieved this result without Una and her team at Sinnott Solicitors and I would highly recommend her.

“This is our client Jashveer Khetteur who had been living in the State undocumented for many years when he came to us.
Jashveer has been granted permission to remain in the State on Stamp 1 conditions, without the requirement to obtain an employment permit. He can now look forward to a happy future in Ireland and travel home to his country after 14 years of being unable to do so.”

Jashveer Khetteur

Here is our client Patricia Pezold who was granted Stamp 0 permission to remain.

‘Initially we contacted the Sinnott law firm for a consultation and Una promptly provided us with the expertise we so desperately needed. But after getting off the phone, our family decided we just weren’t willing to forgo having Una’s years of experience and successful track record on our side. She graciously agreed to assist us and after compiling our documents shipped off our (successful!) application. For some families it may seem like a challenge to find the funds to afford the help of an established firm, but when we did the math of what it would cost us to be denied, there was just no question.’

Patricia Pezold

Sinnott solicitors helped me with a complicated application process to bring my elderly, South African parents to live with me in Ireland.

From the first meeting with Carol, Sinnott solicitors were professional, supportive and crystal clear in their communication. I was lucky to stumble upon Sinnotts after having contacted a few solicitors in Dublin and was left quite frustrated and disillusioned. When I contacted Sinnott solicitors, I first met with Carol and discussed the situation with her. I’m sure many people considering solicitors are often wary of the consultation fees… but don’t be! It’s absolute value for money. Had I made the application myself, it would have been a certain rejection and a complete waste of money!

Once I was introduced to Una, who handled the process, I knew the application was in good hands. Understandably, we were concerned about the outcome, but Una put us at ease with her speedy replies and supportive guidance. She took no longer than 24 hours to reply to my emails and responded with detailed instructions, provided support and was always polite, patient and extremely pleasant to deal with. I am glad to say, my parents have been granted permission to remain in Ireland after Una and Sinnott solicitors found a way to put together a bullet-proof application based on combined circumstances. Something we surely could not have done ourselves. I am incredibly grateful for their advice, support, guidance and meticulous work in this case. Una is a highly skilled professional and her expertise in this area has made it possible for my parents to spend their final years with their children and grandchildren. I am eternally grateful and cannot recommend Una and Sinnott solicitors enough!

Having dealt with Sinnott Solicitors over the past year on an employment related case, I cannot recommend Carol and her team highly enough.

In what was a very distressing situation they provided expert legal advice, while being tactful and reassuring.

They saw the case through to a favourable and painless resolution and were at all times up-front and fair regarding fees.

I would have no hesitation in advising anyone seeking legal advice or representation to contact Sinnotts.

Sinnott’s looked after our son’s medical negligence case and when I saw Carol and her team arrive at the Four Courts with 3,000 plus documents I realised how much work goes on behind the scenes in a Solicitors office. They put constant pressure on the other side to reply to their correspondence and even had them in court on 2 occasions for not responding on time.

Their barrister was a genius and an absolute gentleman. We were truly delighted with the settlement and what you did for our m******. It means so much to us and to him. We even got a guided tour of the Four Courts. Thank you so much girls.

I cannot thank you enough for what you did for me. When I lost my job after 23 years I found myself in a very lonely place and I wish to thank you for your hard work and support in getting me through what I can only describe when I look back on it all as a “nightmare”.

I am looking forward to starting my new venture and I could not have done this without your help and the settlement that you got for me. I look forward to using you in the course of my new business. With kindest regards.

Thanks Carol for your hard work and sorry for putting you under so much pressure. We really appreciate you getting us sorted so quickly and into our new home in time for our Summer holidays.

What I like about Sinnotts is that while they specialise in injury claims they are not your typical claims merchants with a tacky outfit and flashing website. I got tired looking through the injury claims websites I came across on the internet. The two Solicitors dealing with my case, Carol and Louise were very credible and specialised and looked at my case from every angle, not just compensation for the injury but the psychological damage of my injury too. Due to that I got higher compensation for injuries that I expected. They always took my calls and met me when I wanted to talk about the case. I found the fees to be very fair. I would recommend them to any of my family or friends in the future. It is important that businesses listen to their customers’ needs and I felt got that from both of you and your staff.

Sinnott Solicitors are crucial to our business. They are reliable amenable solicitors, their fees are reasonable and transparent and they actually have the best interests of our business at heart which is an invaluable support in the present climate. We would highly recommend Sinnotts and each of their Solicitors who we have dealt with on different occasions.

Hi Carol,

just wanted to let you know that eventually I got my Irish passport..

Thanks very much again for all your help a few years ago.

I found this firm an absolute pleasure to deal with throughout. Peter Burbridge Solicitor dealt with my case and he was excellent at following up and keeping me informed at all times. We had a difficult probate case and there were all sorts of stumbling blocks along the way between obtaining and interim death cert, a lis pendens registered on the property and so fourth. Peter kept the case moving and my wife and I will definitely use Sinnott Solicitors again and we shall have no hesitation in recommending this excellent firm to our family and friends. I was so impressed at the manner in which he dealt with the matter that I asked to speak to his boss Carol Sinnott to pass on my compliments to her.

I would like to express my gratitude to Sinnott Solicitors for the excellent legal service provided in relation to my wife’s visa appeal. I was met with genuine desire to help and high professionalism. Ms Una helped me through all the steps including guiding on the supporting documents required and positive decision was granted within a matter of three weeks. I definitely recommend Sinnott solicitors to anyone else.

Magomed

Sinnott are a really good solicitors firm. They dealt my personal injury case and finalised it very quickly. I was really happy with the compensation for injuries that I received. I would recommend them to anybody and I think that their good reputation is well earned.

Thank you.

You looked after my claim with due care and attention after the squad car that I was travelling in was rear ended during the course of my duties. My colleague who recommended you found your firm a pleasure to deal with and so did I. I have since recommended your services to family members and other members of the force because I was impressed by the way my case was handled. Thank you.

I was maliciously assaulted as a result of an object being thrown at me, causing me to sustain injuries during the course of my duties. The Garda compensation specialists at Sinnotts office and their Barristers gave my case prompt attention. I didn’t need to chase them about my claim. I found the opposite to be the case. I am very happy about the compensation that I obtained and about the extra services that were made known to me.

Sinnott Solicitors guided me & my Filipina partner through the Long Stay Visa process from start to finish. At all times I found Sinnots to be prompt & professional. They always replied to my emails as quickly as possible, and gave me & my partner crystal clear instructions as to what requirements to gather to make a successful application to the INIS. In times of stress my solicitor was a calming influence, and I’m delighted to say our visa was granted at the first try. I am 100% sure their sound legal advice was the key to this. I was informed by my contacts in the legal industry that Sinnott Solicitors are the best immigration lawyers in this country, and I agree with this statement absolutely .
