Great people

This solicitor office assisted me with my asylum claim and they did it brilliantly. Despite my limited knowledge of the English language, they made me feel cared for and provide a first class service. I would recommend them strongly.

Outstanding, professional, and efficient

5

I will never be able to appreciate enough for Deirdre Sheahan’s legal assistance. Words are so limited in any modern language that they can hardly express my gratefulness for her work for me & my kids. However, words are the only means I have to communicate how outstanding, professional, and efficient was her legal assistance in my case. She placed herself in my shoes, felt my need, and demonstrated the remarkable, top quality individual that she is with her clients. Deirdre concern shows how much she cares for them at the personal level to get things done professionally. Thank you very much Deirdre for everything, you are the best, god bless you!

Care, dedication and personal attention

Miss Deirdre has a very wonderful heart and we are touched by the care and concern that she has for our emotional wellbeing. Today we are greatly thankful to her and indebted to her for giving us another chance to live life peacefully and happily. She made possible what we had thought to be impossible. We cannot thank her enough for her care, dedication and personal attention in our matter. Miss Deirdre is a very knowledgeable, kind and dedicated solicitor and to be represented by her was a privilege that we are thankful of.

Deirdre Sheahan is the precious gem at Paragon Law. She is a symbol of kindness, patience and empathy combined with an excellent professionalism. She has supported me in such a way as a mother supporting her children! With Deirdre I never felt alone and she always made herself available for me even though she was extremely busy especially in the Covid-19 period when many other solicitors went for furlough or maternity leave. I can’t thank her enough for everything she had helped me with since I knew her.

Nigel Smith is the best human I have ever dealt with. I will never forget the late nights he stayed awake to help me remotely with my complex application and to meet the deadline. He went above and beyond to make a successful outcome that I will remain forever thankful.

I have just come to an end of 2 years' struggle in an immigration case. I cannot praise the solicitors we had to handle the case highly enough.

Deirdre was an absolute gem and handled some difficult conversations and situations with sympathy and common sense. With her wonderful advice and guidance this success would never been possible.

Right from the outset, Deirdre put me at ease and filled me with the confidence that I required. I had to go through extremely difficult conversations and re-live the worst moments of my life during the case and she made it. It really couldn't have been made easier.

My case was very complex and she expertly handled all of my queries from start to finish. She always updated me in the process and she was always contactable.

Many thanks for your excellent work on my behalf. You were so thorough, persistent, fair and transparent. I shall always say, “I had the best possible solicitor” to fight my cause.

I have known the team at Paragon for a number of years and cannot praise them highly enough. They are always professional, responsive and have successfully turned around some very complex asylum cases for clients I have referred. More recently I have referred a number of residents to Paragon who we house at the Arimathea Trust and the service and information they receive is incomparable. What I particularly admire about Paragon is that they always respond to queries in a timely manner which means a lot to our vulnerable refugee/asylum seeker clients. I can also highly recommend Deidre Sheahan who mainly works with minors - she is extremely dedicated and passionate. Well done to Thal and the team for being the best immigration law firm.

Highly recommend Paragon Law for their expert and professional service. They supported me throughout the whole process and worked very hard to ensure a successful case, I can't praise the staff enough for going out of their way and helping me in this very emotional and trying time. A special thanks to the management team for their immigration knowledge and acute understanding of my circumstances.
