Augustus Cullen Law Recensioni 

Attention yo detail is second to none. Professional, honest and very organised firm. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Excellent law firm to deal with were very nice and explained everything that was going on and kept in contact through out highly recommend

Clear quick communication. Great experience and very pleasant team. Highly recommend working with ACL

Very happy with the service provided. Regular communication from the team every step of the way.

Since mid-2023, I’ve been involved in numerous legal cases as a translator and interpreter. Through this work, I regularly collaborate with various law firms in Ireland and I can confirm there are many wonderful, responsive, and responsible solicitors who regularly update their clients and ensure transparency. Unfortunately, I was not yet acquainted with any of them at the time when I was looking for a firm to take on my employment law case so I engaged Augustus Cullen Law.
At first, the solicitor was responsive, replying to emails promptly and professionally. However, once my case was submitted to the WRC, communication became nonexistent.

I know first-hand that clients can be overly demanding with unnecessary questions and a lack of understanding of the procedures. Because of this, I kept my inquiries concise and relevant because I know what it’s like to handle dozens of clients and projects on a regular basis and I never expected or demanded replies within the 24-hour or even 48-hour window, which is the general expectation for email responses in professional settings. I always allowed sufficient time for him to get back to me and I did not spam him with emails or calls demanding an immediate response.

Despite this, he repeatedly ignored my emails and avoided my phone calls. His secretaries would say he was “on another call” and that he would “call back as soon as he was finished”, which never happened. On several occasions, he said that he was out sick, yet there was no automated out-of-office notification.
Only 2 weeks before the WRC hearing, I didn’t have any basic information on how the process would look like, how I should prepare, how long it would last, and whether there was a possibility of a settlement. This lack of guidance, especially so close to the hearing, felt extremely unprofessional and irresponsible.

When I called the office, even the secretary seemed shocked that I had received no information with the hearing date approaching. In the end, my ex-employer offered to settle a week before the hearing, and I accepted. However, reflecting on the entire negative experience, I question whether I should have proceeded with the hearing and pursued the matter further in court, as I am left wondering whose side ACL’s solicitor was truly on.

After the settlement, he sent an invoice, which I paid immediately. I sent an email to confirm payment but never received acknowledgement or a simple thank you - basic elements of professional communication.
Additionally, on 10.01.2024 he sent a GDPR request to my ex-employer, and when he forwarded the email he sent them, I saw that he put someone else’s name on the request. This caused confusion with my ex-employer and they didn’t know which employee he was referring to. They asked the solicitor to confirm the employee’s name to which he either never responded or he never forwarded me the rest of their communication.
Despite my follow-up emails, one on 17.06.2024 when the solicitor was out of office and one on 03.07.2024 when he got back, I never received a response.
I last called the office on 29.08.2024 and got through to his secretary who said he was on another call. I explained that I had no update regarding the GDPR request that was submitted months ago and that I never got a reply to my emails. She then searched the emails and confirmed that she could see my emails that had no reply from anyone at ACL and she found that odd. She was uncomfortable by the situation and said maybe he didn’t get back to me because it was summer, to which I replied that this was well before the summer, submitted in January - she then said nothing, except that she would talk to him. I never heard back from anyone.

I originally posted my review here and on Google on 23.10.2024, and on the same day, a partner in the firm got in touch. He wanted to go through the entire situation and address the communication issues I described. We had a phone call during which he apologised, confirming the truth of everything I’ve written about my solicitor and said there’s no explanation for his behaviour. He assured me they would work on it so the solicitor in question does not repeat the same mistakes, but I never got an apology or heard from the man himself.

My original review was removed because it contained “personal information” – the name of the solicitor I was dealing with (even though there are plenty of other reviews mentioning names), hence the usage of “solicitor” instead of his full name.

I hope this thorough review helps others avoid a similar experience with ACL, as everyone deserves proper treatment and professional communication for the services they pay for.

From my first conversation with this company i felt completely at ease . This company is so professional but also give a personal touch which i found very comforting. Any questions i had at anytime was answered no matter how small. I would not hesitate in using this company again .

We found Augustus Cullen Law firm excellent, the dedication, compassion and empathy shown to us through out the process of our case was invaluable to use as a family. We had no previous experience of medical cases, however the team at Augustus Cullen Law explained every step to us and gave us encouragement and the confidence to continue our process. Thankfully with their assistance we came to the conclusion we had sought from the commencement of our case

Really thorough & professional. I've recommended them to several people as I know they are one of the best

Attention to detail and level of professionalism

I have been very impressed with the management of my case by Neil Kidd in Augustus Cullen Law.The firm was recommended to me and I was not disappointed.I found Neil to be very approachable ,easy to deal with and he handled all my queries in a timely and professional manner.He made, what potentially can be an intimidating process very manageable and undauntung.Every step of the process was explained clearly and all potential outcomes discussed when decisions had to be made about taking the next steps and the financial implications.Whilst my particular case did not proceed, I felt that it was fully explored and I feel many of my questions have been answered about the medical management of my son's sporting injury.

From our first appointment through to completion, they kept us completely informed amd updated on all matters. I never felt awkward having to make a call to ask questions, Linda had so much patience and we would definitely use their service again

The epitome of professionalism and compassion. Neil.and colleagues are totally client centered and despite a global pandemic kept in total contact keeping us updated even when things in the world were so slow. Thank you again...Michele Devereux

I found Augustus Cullen Law firm to be very professional keeping in contact with me only when required as I felt confident to leave my case in their hands. I felt that my Solicitor Jamie Harte was very easy to talk to, very compassionate towards my case and very quick to respond to any queries I had regarding my case which went on for sometime. I also found Selina the secretary in Augustus Cullen extremely supportive. I would would highly recommend Jamie Harte and his team.

I would highly recommend using ACL. I was very fortunate to be represented by Joice Carthy. She was very efficient and kept my case moving along. Couldn't have asked for a better team on my side. She was very supportive and always there to help. I would definitely use this firm again.

I was very fortunate to have Damien Conroy work on my case from 2019 to February 2024. I have to say Damien is a true gentleman, he worked diligently on my case, was unfailing helpful, courteous and responded promptly to all contact made, most importantly I trusted Damien throughout the process and the advice and guidance he provided to me at each stage as the case progressed. Damien clearly has a wealth of knowledge and experience in the area of personal injury, I found this reassuring at key decision making points in the case. On the day of the hearing Damien showed great empathy and kindness towards my husband and I, and in many respects this demonstrated to me, not only did I have great legal representation, but I also had someone who could identify and respond to the stress I experienced on the day. Damien also had Conor Byrne represent me, and though I only met Conor on two occasions I was equally impressed by his professionalism, kindness and diligence. I want it to be known that I felt very fortunate to have Damien and Conor on my case and I would highly recommend them to anyone seeking legal representation in the area of personal injury, or indeed in any other area in which they both practice. Thank you most sincerely Damien and Conor for all the hard work on our behalf, it was greatly appreciated. Andrew Cooney & Alan Gleeson

Absolutely amazing people to deal with . It took us 9 years to close the case but those guys never gave up .

Damien was amazing to deal with and I would recommend Augustus Cullen Law to everyone

We couldn’t be more happy with the outcome .

If I only could I would give you 10 stars for the service and customer care .

Damien was so honest and nice to deal with. Interacted with me as a person gave great advice. I'll be using Damien again .

I can't adequately put into words how positive my experience with Damien Conroy and Augustus Cullen Law has been. I had previously contacted several other firms regarding my case and had been told that it was not viable. Following a chance conversation with a close friend I was assured that if anyone could help it would be Damien. I emailed stating my case and promptly received a call that would change my life. From the first interaction I felt heard, possibly for the first time since the issue occurred. Damien was so supportive, honest and operated with a level of integrity which is rarely seen in this day and age. I cannot recommend Damien, his team and the entire firm highly enough. Through their hard work I was very lucky and had a positive outcome but really what Damien provided was so much more than legal services, he gave me a voice and restored my faith in humanity which I'd lost almost forty years ago. Know that if you chose them, you are in the best possible hands.

I highly recommend Neid Kidd and his team at Augustus Cullen, who provided great expertise and their support throughout the case. Their response from the initial contact was prompt, very helpful and reassuring, also the communication throughout the case was clear and detailed. Thank you for a very professional legal service.

I can't express enough how friendly caring kind while the professionalism of Joice caire and team was amazing never made me feel anything but relaxed and at ease I'd Hope I'd never have a health issue like iv had but I'd 100% recommend this firm to care for you if your reading this and questioning just make the call you will be so happy you did. I'll never be able to thank you enough.
