Greg Baker and Kally Singh are the 2 solicitors I use regularly at Hegarty’s. They are both consistently friendly,obliging and professional when dealing with my business and personal affairs. They always explain legal jargon in layman’s terms. They always return correspondence and telephone calls promptly. Their billing is always fair and reasonable. A “one stop shop” firm of solicitors with a “family firm” culture. A local firm of solicitors you can rely on.
