Areas of Practice and Expertise

We at O'Sullivan Kenny LLP, understand that an allegation of even a minor offence can impact your quality of life.  

​

A conviction of a minor offence can affect your future, your ability to travel and your employment. In more serious cases, a conviction may jeopardise your liberty.

​

If you believe you are under investigation or suspect a prosecution may be forthcoming, seek advice from expert criminal defence solicitors without delay. Early engagement with a criminal solicitor can influence the outcome—and in some cases, prevent charges from being brought.

​

As criminal defence solicitors with extensive experience, we represent clients facing every type of criminal allegation from minor public order offences to more serious charges. In all situations, we provide clear advice, robust defence strategies, and tireless advocacy for our clients.

​

A criminal law case begins with an allegation, made either by a member of An Garda Síochána or a member of the public. Depending on the nature of the allegation, prosecution may follow via a summons (common for minor charges such as road traffic matters) or via arrest and charge for more serious offences.

​

While minor offences may be dealt with swiftly in the District Court, serious charges that go before the Circuit Court, Special Criminal Court or Central Criminal Court may take a year or longer to conclude. Throughout this process, the support of experienced and dedicated criminal law solicitors is crucial.​
