Philippe Bellintani
Recommended by the French embassy few years back, I have found a very professional practice, with a great mix of knowledgeable Barristers and Solicitors. My first port of call for private or professional matters. Special praise to Stephen Kirwan who has been professional beyond the call of duty.
Maríosa Whaley
Superb service provided by the KOD Lyons team. Ailbhe Hanmore represented me and she was professional, prompt and provided excellent advice. In my dealings with all the KOD Lyons staff they were friendly and professional and no query was a problem. I would highly recommend this firm.

Sinéad Murphy
My experience with Mr. Stephen Kirwan from KOD Lyons Solicitors was outstanding. He was professional, friendly, very approachable, understanding, knowledgeable and extremely hard working. I would 100% recommend him and his associates to anyone looking for legal advice or representation. The service I received was above and beyond what I expected.
