Joanna Connolly Solicitors

I approached JCS in relation to an old debt which i was being hounded by from Lowell. I dealt initially with Sam who instantly put me at ease and lowered the high anxiety I was experiencing. She went through the entire process and was polite, professional and non judgemental. I then dealt with Joanna who drafted my Defence and again put me at ease and was lovely to deal with. As a result of me instructing JCS, my claim was discontinued which was an absolute relief. I would highly recommend using JCS.

Following years of trying to fight off vexatious and underhand tactics from Capquest, they came back for a third attempt to take me to court. This time I decided to spend some of my hard earned money to get someone professional to fight back on my behalf. The money I paid JCS was considerably less than the amount Capquest was claiming and now they have dropped the case entirely. Thank You! A very happy client, I will not hesitate to use them again if required.

I instructed Joanna Connolly Solicitors to assist with defending a fast-track court claim relating to a re-sold consumer credit debt. From the outset, the team were professional, knowledgeable and reassuring during what was a very stressful process. I dealt regularly with Sam, who was always helpful, responsive and took the time to explain things clearly and answer my questions throughout. The firm prepared a detailed defence and handled all correspondence efficiently. After proceedings were issued, the claimant ultimately discontinued the claim, which was a huge relief. I am very grateful for their support and expertise, and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone facing a defended consumer credit or debt purchaser claim.

I called a few solicitor firms before finding JCS. Some told me to expect a callback that never came, others quoted extremely high costs, and I found it very difficult to simply speak to someone qualified to answer my questions. Save yourself the hassle and contact JCS. I was seeking advice about a CCJ that had been set aside and reissued years later, adding four more years to the time it could be enforced and another four years on my credit report. I initially spoke with Gerard, who listened carefully to what happened, clearly explained my options in terms of defence, and openly and accurately discussed the likely costs. I was then in contact with Joanna, who drafted the application to set aside. After reviewing the first draft, Joanna rewrote it entirely, making it much more personal and specific to my situation. I was genuinely impressed when I read it. After a few emails back and forth and a short call to make some small changes, it was complete. I was kept informed of everything after that point and then received a call with the good news. The creditor agreed to the CCJ being set aside and the case being dismissed entirely. I am extremely grateful for the work JCS did and would not hesitate to recommend them. I felt they were genuinely on my side from start to finish.

The whole team at Joanna Connolly Solicitors were helpful and reassuring from the outset. Not only does Jo understand every facet of this area, but her familiarity with its major players and their common behaviour means your defence is not only thorough but also delivered to its best advantage. In my case, the claim fell at the first argument which was only the first of several she had prepared. If I ever need this kind of help again I won't call anyone else.

Joanna Connolly are a fantastic law firm who have helped me with multiple cases. The staff are very warm and friendly and everything is explained very clearly. The first 2 cases were dealt with out of court, however the most significant was a recent one which went to court. The barrister who JCS recommended (Tom Brennan) was equally good, and our case was so well prepared that it took the judge about 5 minutes to throw the case out. In addition the judge awarded costs meaning that I was refunded the fees. Companies such as the claimant in my case are incredibly predatory. I was in a serious mental health crisis when I originally got into debt around five years ago and I imagine this is a similar story for many people. The repackaging of such debts to be bought and sold seems unconscionable to me and in this case correct procedures were not being followed. At least part of the debt which the claimant had purchased was not from a credit card I had ever taken out. Without the help of Joanna Connolly Solicitors I would have had to incorrectly pay a sum of money which would have been highly stressful, as well as impacting my credit score which I am trying to repair. So I am really grateful to this firm, thank you!

Outstanding legal support – highly recommended Joanna Connolly Solicitors supported me through a claim, and the service I received was highly professional, informative, and reassuring from start to finish. Gerard guided me carefully through the process, explaining each step clearly and making a complex and stressful situation much easier to understand. When the matter progressed, Joanna took over seamlessly and saw it through to the end — resulting in the claim being dropped. I was completely relieved of the stress and anxiety I had been under. Consumer law and debt-related legislation are extremely complex, and questions of legitimacy can be very confusing for individuals facing debt purchasers. Having a knowledgeable and confident legal team made all the difference. I would absolutely recommend Joanna Connolly Solicitors to anyone dealing with debt purchasers, aggressive threats, or unlawful business practices. This team is professional, reliable, and genuinely supportive — a promising firm you can trust when you feel overwhelmed.

I contacted Joanna Connolly Solicitors having received a County Court claim form from Drydensfairfax ‘on behalf’ of Arrow. Right from the very first phone call Colin gave me reassurance that everything would be dealt with and there was no need to worry. The communication throughout the process was fantastic and concluded in a very positive outcome. I would 100% recommend them to anyone in a similar situation and would like to thank Colin and the team again for all their hard work and guidance throughout.

I had a debt matter which had proved to be a very stressful experience, but as soon as I'd contacted and then instructed JCS, they filled me with confidence whilst remaining realistic. They were however able to achieve an outstanding result for me at a reasonable cost. I will have no hesitation in using them again if the need arises, and certainly recommend speaking to them with any Consumer Credit issues.

Have had a few cases using Joanna Connolly, and every time they perform outstandingly. You may not realise it, but many debts are unenforceable due to dodgy & illegal practices employed in the industry. Joanna & her team are specialists in this area, and if there's any chance of you winning your case (which there probably is), go to them in the first instance. They charge nothing for you just asking them & assessing your case.
