Family and child care law
Advice on family disputes, child care concerns, access issues and related court steps.
Ferrys Solicitors LLP provides practical legal advice from 443 South Circular Road for clients in Rialto, Dolphin's Barn, Kilmainham, Portobello and the wider Dublin 8 area.

Clients use this office for clear guidance at the start of a legal issue, document review, court preparation, settlement discussions and ongoing case updates. The team can also connect you with the relevant Ferrys Solicitors LLP department where your matter needs specialist input.

Garda Station Cover
South Circular Road puts this office within a short drive of the Dublin 8 and Dublin 12 stations.
Kevin Street is Dublin 8 as well, but it is covered from the head office on Ormond Quay rather than from here.
| Garda station | Where it is | Court it usually feeds | Getting there |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kilmainham | Inchicore Road, Dublin 8 | Criminal Courts of Justice, Parkgate Street | About five minutes by car |
| Crumlin | Crumlin Road, Dublin 12 | Criminal Courts of Justice, Parkgate Street | About ten minutes by car |

Criminal defence at Ferrys Solicitors LLP is led by Tony Collier. Attendance at the Dublin 8 and Dublin 12 stations above is by the firm's criminal defence solicitors on the rota, which is why this page does not put a single name against the Rialto office. Ring 087 122 3080 and ask: you will be told who is attending.
Not necessarily. The Garda Station Legal Advice Scheme covers legal advice for people in custody who cannot afford to pay privately. The station has the forms and we can deal with it there. Nobody should stay in an interview without advice because they are worried about a bill.
The Rialto office closes between 1:00pm and 2:00pm, but the emergency line does not. Ring 087 122 3080 for anything involving a Garda station, at any hour, including the lunch closure and outside office hours entirely.
For a general enquiry, yes, and the reception team will tell you what to bring for a proper appointment. For anything involving an arrest that is happening now, do not walk in: ring the emergency line, because the useful thing is a solicitor going to the station rather than you sitting in our waiting room.
Yes. Crumlin and Sundrive Road are both a short drive from the South Circular Road. Ring with the station name, the person's full name and their date of birth, and we will contact the station directly.
It is the station that matters, not where you live. City centre stations including Kevin Street are covered from our head office on Ormond Quay. Ring the same emergency number either way and we will route it.
That is the intention, and it is one of the reasons for having an office in the area rather than only in town. Continuity from the station through to court means nobody has to be brought up to speed twice.
