Solicitors charged €340k too much
Gerard Williams Sandys and Bryan C Brophy, of Sandys and Brophy, Sea Rd, Galway, yesterday failed in a challenge to a decision by the Law Society to refer a complaint about the alleged overcharging to society’s Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal.
Mr Justice Nicholas Kearns dismissed their challenge and he affirmed a July 2013 decision of the Law Society’s complaints and client relations committee (CCRC) to refer to the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal a complaint about the two solicitors’ alleged failure to send to the Vincent de Paul an estimate of their costs for administering the estate.
