Pat was very helpful, kind, compassionate and professional. I was very grateful for his help and support at a very difficult time for me.

Client feedback

I wanted to thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for your support, kindness and empathy towards me during the time we have been “together “ sorting out the nightmare situation I found myself in. I’ve had a hard few years but Pat Gibney and Maggie Berry have helped me through dealing with a tough time, thank you does not feel adequate.

Client feedback

Pat completed probate for us, and was fantastic. It wasn't an easy one as there were some complicated elements that come to light along the way, but throughout he was communicative, and efficient in getting the process completed. He was also extremely thorough throughout the whole process. I cannot recommend highly enough.

I'm writing to pass on some positive feedback once more, this time for Patrick Gibney. I needed to update my Will and lasting power of attorney following my recent separation. I'd just like to say Pat has been absolutely brilliant - helpful and patient with my queries, perfectly clear in his guidance, efficient in his work and indeed very kind and thoroughly pleasant during a difficult time.
