Fighting the Law: Inept Limerick solicitor featured in primetime documentary

A Limerick solicitor whose delays in doing his job nearly resulted in the eviction of a woman from her home was featured on last night’s Prime Time investigates show entitled “Fighting the Law.”

Solicitor Joseph Griffin took his time to produce title deeds for a house belonging to Annette Strachen. When her local authority did not receive the deeds, they threatened to evict her.

It was only when she took the solicitor before the Solicitors Disciplinary Delay before she could get the deeds issue resolved.

However she was left with massive debts because of the whole affair.

  • One important thing you should know when learning how to evict a tenant is that you

    are generally not given the right of self help even after you win the eviction

    lawsuit. This means that you can't change the locks on your property by yourself or

    cut off the electricity supply to chase your tenant away. A government employee has

    to do it for you.
