Dec 11, 2025 Report
We decided to create wills through the Will Aid scheme and choose Neil Kilcoyne on the basis of good reviews online. They weren't wrong, Sinead Jackson handled our wills and was fantastic to deal with, I was expecting a very basic, quick discussion as this was a 'free' service (the payment going to charity) but Sinead really took the time to explain everything to us, we'd asked a few questions and she described our options and put it in an email, then followed up with another call after we'd had time to think it over, and then the signing was done in person after she went through everything with us again. She was wonderful to deal with, and if we need solicitor services in the future we'd go back.

This company was recommended by the Legal Aid Board as they apparently covered the work I required help with. I couldn't speak to any of the lawyers as speaking to or getting past the telephone staff is like banging your head off a brick wall! Spanish Inquisition springs to mind! They're just plain rude, dismissive, up their own backsides and treat you like scum as soon as legal aid is mentioned!

Yes they can do the work, but you need to pay full price as they are selective about legal aid jobs apparently. I have reported this back to Legal Aid as they are recommending lawyers for jobs based on a legal aid basis but the lawyers then want to charge you? If the office staff behave in this manner, I'd hate to think what the lawyers are like! In my opinion, this company has just got far too big for their boots and do not care about actually helping people! Soulless Money Making Racket!

They didn't return calls, emails or even my retainer in a timely fashion. I finally had enough of being ignored and found a solicitor more concerned with the case than the commercial aspects of it.
