I can’t thank the Ferrys team enough! Having no idea how to get started with my claim, they had talked me through every aspect and what to expect. I was never rushed or pressured during my time with them. Ferrys made me feel valued and understood in my position, making me feel secure in every decision made and never judged. I truly appreciate the time, effort and detail Ferrys made to ensure I received the compensation I deserved. I couldn’t recommend them enough!

I can't recommend Ferrys enough. I dealt with Padraic and his team and they were nothing short of incredible. Professional, polite, competent, caring and clear in their instructions, everything was easy to navigate with their help. Thank you to Patricia on reception, Padraic, Lauren, Eimear and everyone else that I liaised with.

Legal Services

Expert legal support for Immigration & Citizenship

We provide comprehensive guidance on moving to, working in, and becoming a citizen — with five offices across Dublin.

Judicial Review for Immigration Refusals

If your immigration application has been refused, you may be able to challenge the decision through Judicial Review in the High Court. This legal process allows you to contest decisions made by the Immigration Service Delivery (ISD) or the Minister for Justice on grounds such as procedural unfairness, irrationality, or errors in law.

Judicial Review is a complex area of law with strict time limits, typically 8 weeks from the date of the decision. Our experienced immigration solicitors can assess the merits of your case, advise on the likelihood of success, and represent you throughout the judicial review process to ensure the best possible outcome.

Whether you've been refused a visa, residency permission, citizenship application, or are facing deportation, early legal advice is crucial. Contact our team today to discuss your options and protect your rights.
