McCarthy + Co LLP: McCarthy's site does state some of the awards won including a few from the Irish Law Awards. If they have won an award for 'best logo design', we don't think that really counts towards them being a decent legal practice. Never, ever discuss payments via email and call the p...

Walker Foster Solicitors:
