About this score
This rating is based on verified client feedback and compares how this firm’s value for money is perceived against the national average. In legal services, value for money is not about being the cheapest option, but about whether clients feel the service, expertise, and outcome justified the cost. This comparison helps place client experiences in context when choosing a law firm.

About this score
This rating is based on client feedback and compares how satisfied people were with the result of their legal matter against the national average for similar legal services. While every case is different and outcomes can depend on the law, the facts, and decisions made by courts or tribunals, this comparison is designed to be like for like.
When a firm has a large number of reviews, individual case differences tend to balance out over time. This makes the national average a useful benchmark for understanding how often clients feel the result achieved was fair and appropriate for their situation. Even small differences from the average can therefore reflect a meaningful difference in the overall standard of legal service provided.

Excellent advice
I received excellent advice from Tim who took the time to go through a case with me. He was honest, open and transparent around potential cost and where there could be any pitfalls in the case. Really grateful for his time and explanation to me. Will definitely be coming back to Kirwans if I need them in the future and would recommend them to anyone looking for a good, honest legal firm to represent them!

Helen arrived and looked the part, she was ready to go, confident and knew exactly what she was doing. I was instantly at ease. Helen spoke to me about my brothers sentencing and thoroughly went through everything and made me understand what was happening. I felt like my brother was in great hands, Helen represented my brother very professionally and got him released from prison that day. I could not of asked for anyone better. Thankyou Helen
