Joanna Connolly Solicitors

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.

Joanna Connolly Solicitors acted in a timely and professional manner to ensure that the employment legal content was fair and reasonable prior signature. Invaluable advice and worth the investment.

From start to finish JCS have gone above and beyond. All staff are amazing and very good at explaining things the whole way. They just just took everything off my hands and dealt with it. The debt collectors have discontinued their claim and a very stressful situation is over. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them and they would be my first port of call if needed in the future. Genuine solicitors and very passionate and knowledgeable about what they do. Can't thank them enough.

Joanna Connolly Solicitors supported me through a claim brought by Asset Link Capital, 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, 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 after seeing Google reviews and recommendations on a number of forums relating to debt matters. I was nervous to say the least being the first time contacting a solicitor with a debt issue Joanna and her team were fantastic from start to finish. Very friendly, knowledgeable and concise in their approach. I was kept informed at all stages and most importantly received the desired outcome. I highly recommend JCS and would not hesitate to contact them again if the need arises. Even at the late stage where I was fearing financial doom, I'm glad I got in touch. Thank you Joanna, Gerry, Sam, Colin and Sophie for super service and experience.

I can't recommend Joanna Connolly Solicitors enough. They have provided a faultless service from start to finish. Knowledgeable, thorough and excellent customer service. I was kept up to date throughout my experience and achieved the outcome I desired. I would definitely use them again.

Unfortunately through a variety of different reasons, my wife and I have had to call upon the services of Joanna and her team at Joanna Connolly Solicitors. I cannot recommend them highly enough, if you are in a tight spot and being threatened with court owing to financial difficulties they should be your FIRST phone call. I likened them recently on a debt forum to be wrapped in a comfort blanket, they really are...

What can I say. Absolutely first class service from start to finish. I had the pleasure of dealing with Colin throughout and found him to be very professional, helpful and extremely knowledgeable. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Joanna Connolly Solicitors to anyone who needs a hand fighting a DCA.

While Googling just who Hoist Finance were, I stumbled across a blog entry from Joanna Connolly which stated they had no right to chase a debt from Barclay's and that they had a 100% win record when taking them on. On the back of this I got in touch and after a short conversation with Di and then Gerry, Colin took on my case; within the week Hoist had discontinued their claim. Sterling effort from a very professional, thorough and non-judgmental team. Can't thank them enough for all their help.
