Criminal Defence lawyers in Ireland
Criminal defence lawyers advise and represent people under investigation or facing charges, from police station interviews to hearings in the magistrates' and higher courts. They cover motoring offences, fraud, assault, and serious cases. Criminal matters move quickly and the stakes are high, so early advice, ideally before any interview, can make a significant difference to the outcome.
Ireland is a common law jurisdiction with solicitors and barristers as the main legal professions. Matters are heard in the District Court, Circuit Court, High Court, Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court.
Every lawyer listed is identity and credential verified, and the body that regulates them is shown on their individual profile.
