Garda station cover from Ormond Quay

This office is the base for the firm's criminal defence work, and it sits inside the ring of stations that handle most Dublin city centre arrests. The Bridewell is a few hundred metres away.

The head office sits between most of these stations, which is the practical reason the list looks the way it does.

Who attends

Criminal defence at Ferrys Solicitors LLP is led by Tony Collier, and this office is the base for that work. We are not printing one name against each station here, because the solicitor who attends is whoever is on call when the call comes in, not whoever sits closest to the station. Ring 087 122 3080 and you will be told who is coming and roughly how long they will be.

Common questions

How quickly can a solicitor get to the Bridewell?

The Bridewell is a few hundred metres from our office on Ormond Quay Upper, so in office hours it is a walk rather than a drive. Outside office hours the answer depends on who is on call and where they are starting from, so ring 087 122 3080 and we will tell you a real time rather than a comfortable one.

I have been asked to come to Store Street for a voluntary interview. Do I need a solicitor?

A voluntary interview is still an interview, it is still recorded, and what you say in it can still be used. You are entitled to legal advice before it and you are entitled to leave. Our page on voluntary attendance sets out what changes if you are arrested during it.

Which court will a city centre arrest go to?

Dublin city centre criminal business is dealt with in the Dublin Metropolitan District, which sits at the Criminal Courts of Justice on Parkgate Street. Our office is a short distance from both, which is one reason the head office handles the court-connected work.

Can you attend if the arrest happened outside working hours?

Yes. The emergency line is 087 122 3080 and it is for exactly this. Do not wait until morning to ring: most of what a solicitor can usefully do in a detention happens before the first interview.

What do you need from me if I am ringing about someone else?

Three things: which station they are in, their full name, and their date of birth. With those we can ring the station, confirm they are there and ask the member in charge to record that a solicitor has been instructed.

Is there parking near the office?

There is city centre parking in the public car parks around Ormond Quay and Smithfield, and on-street spaces subject to restrictions. If you are coming in for an appointment rather than an emergency, the Four Courts Luas stop and the quay bus routes are usually simpler than driving.
