About the firm
A local practice led by Martin J. Burke
Martin set up the firm in Carrick-on-Shannon in 2014. He is from Knockvicar, fifteen minutes up the road, and was admitted as a solicitor in 2008. Clients are kept up to date at every stage, and everything they share stays confidential.
He trained with Leo F. Branigan & Co. in Longford, then worked with McGovern Walsh and with Mullaneys in Sligo, and with Michael J. Staines Solicitors in Dublin to build his criminal defence practice. The office is on the first floor of Castle Quay House on the Bypass Road, beside Cryan's Hotel.
