“I engaged with Terence O’Sullivan of TJOS on a personal injury case.  Throughout the process, the support, guidance, care and attention was first class, it’s the difference between a lawyer and a good lawyer.   I had a really difficult time after my accident and Terence helped me through it all.

“Whilst I engaged Terry for legal services which were second to none, it’s the very humane approach that Terry took which really made the difference to the impact TJOS solicitors made on my life, bringing back belief in myself and introducing me to others who had similar experiences as mine.

Noella Carroll, MD of Pinnaklo, Finance & Business Consultant, May 2019”


“Terence,

Now that our clients have resolved their differences, I wanted to thank you for your co-operation. Tension had risen to the extent that this could have gone horribly wrong for both sides. I think that between us we managed to get the best outcome for our respective clients without either of us compromising our position.

Unfortunately, more and more, I find that some of our colleagues feel it necessary to be belligerent rather than being constructive in resolving the issues. It was a pleasure dealing with you.

All the best

John*, solicitor for other party”


“I was very satisfied with the service provided by TJOS Solicitors.

From the first moment I have met both of you, I’ve felt that my case was in safe hands. I received accurate information and a clear picture regarding my options. I was updated every step of the way.

With your help I’ve achieved everything I’ve hoped for and more.

I can only recommend this highly professional and efficient team.

Kate*”


After thirty-four years of employment TJOS Solicitors helped me with my redundancy package and gave me the advice and support I needed, when I needed it.

Afterwards, Terence and Eadaoin helped clear up some other matters, particularly the drafting of my will. At all times I felt I was in safe hands and I am happy to recommend them to anyone.

Ben* private client, May 2018


What can I say about Terence and Eadaoin? Nothing less that “brilliant”.

For anyone who is reading this right now, it’s likely that you have been considering attaining legal advice and assistance with regards to a work-related issue. If you are at that stage already, my advice would be to go ahead and get that assistance. The longer you delay it, the more stressful it will be for you.

Unfortunately, when you end up in a situation where a manager or other superior is not treating you as a human being should be treated, and you file a grievance against then, it will often-times not go your way. Remember, there is no “human” in Human Resources. They are there to protect the company, first and foremost, and the employee will likely lose any grievance they file.

That’s where Terence and Eadaoin come into the picture. From the start, they were open and honest about the process and what my chances were of coming out on the winning side. They gave me invaluable advice as far as how to handle the grievance process that I was part of, and what my options were going forward. They never tried to push me into making any decisions as far as if I should follow this all the way through to court, and were genuinely concerned for me and my health throughout. These situations can be incredibly stressful, and even the strongest person will have difficulty coping.

By following their advice, throughout the process, I never put myself in a situation where I did or said something that would come back to bite me, and eventually I left that horribly mismanaged company for a better one. I don’t believe that I would have been able to make that leap without some stellar advice from these guys.

So, a big “Thank You” to Terence and Eadaoin. I couldn’t recommend these guys enough!

Connor* private client, February 2018


I would like to express my sincere and heartfelt appreciation and gratitude to Terence and all his team for their professional and competent services in dealing with my case. It was a stressful situation where I was bringing a case against my previous employer. From the outset Terence and his team listened thoroughly, understood the situation and clearly outlined the steps and my options to bring the issues to a resolution.  From our first meeting I had 100% confidence that Terence and his team were right the solicitors to deal with my problem. Terence was thorough, fair, and transparent  throughout and particularly when representing my case at the WRC. This led to a successful outcome and established justice for which I will always be grateful. I would highly recommend Terence J O Sullivan Solicitors for their excellent work, professionalism kindness and understanding particularly in relation to employment law issues.

Grainne*, December 2017


“I was referred to Terence when I encountered an issue at work. Once I made contact with Terence I was made to feel completely at ease and found him to be both easy and professional to deal with. He listened to me intently as I told him about the issue I had encountered.  He took all the details and worked on all the facts given to him.  I met with Terence on a number of occasions in relation to my issue and he provided me with excellent advice on how to handle my situation and how best to bring about a resolution. When I first met Terence I was completely stressed and very worried about the outcome regarding my issue. He immediately set about allaying my concerns and putting my mind at ease.  As a result of Terence’s assistance I had a successful outcome to my problem. Thank you Terence you are an outstanding professional who I would highly recommend.”

“We have been fortunate to work with TJOS for over 3 years and their support has been invaluable in ensuring our team are fully up to date and knowledgeable regarding all aspects of Irish ER legislation. Their expertise, coupled with a professional and friendly manner, has made working with TJOS a pleasure. Thank you to Terence and all the team.”

AdviserPlus Business Solutions, June 2017


“Although I am a professional, employment law is not an area I would be familiar with. First thing Terence done was get me to relax, this enabled me to speak about my issue freely with him. He then went through my individual circumstances based on what I had told him. Then he put in simple terms the options available to me  and what would happen in each option that he spoke about. I also liked that he was also upfront about the potential costs so I would not have a big shock down the line. 

I am glad to say thanks to him, my issue was sorted and I was delighted that I met him.

I would have no hesitation in recommending him [Terence] to anyone as the personal service of his practice and the ability to reach him with some follow up issues was a key factor in going to him in the first place.”

Harry, Private Client* July 2017

“I recently found myself in a very stressful Employment situation that severely impacted my finances. As a mum providing for my child it was imperative the situation could be resolved swiftly. I made one phone call to Terence J. O’Sullivan solicitors seeking advice on the matter. Within minutes of speaking with Terence over the phone I had every confidence he was the right person to deal with my problem. It was the best call I made and lifted a weight of worry from my shoulders. My trust in him was further cemented when I met with him, and he did not let me down at any step along the way. Terence is very thorough while also empathetic and he made the process clear and easy to understand from start to finish. After just one meeting, a few emails and phone calls my case was resolved in no time at all. He always kept me up to date on the progress of the case and returned any phone calls the same day. I cannot recommend Terence J. O’Sullivan (TJOS) Solicitors highly enough for anyone needing a solicitor”.

Mike, Arvo Cost Management


“I would like to extend my sincerest appreciation to Terence and his team for their assistance in my case against my previous employer. In a very stressful and upsetting time, I was in need of advice and legal guidance, Terence and his team acted professionally and efficiently. From the initial meeting, he understood my situation, clearly outlined the road ahead and he and his team were by my side when needed. He acted with compassion and always had my best interest at heart and gave me the support I needed. When I was referred to TJOS originally, I was told that he would be a ‘safe pair of hands’ and they were right. I encourage others with employment issues to continue to strive for what’s right and not be dissuaded as legal fees can be an issue, however, when you know you have a legal case that has merit, and you have a strong team behind you, it gives you confidence to do the right thing and that’s exactly what happened to me. I got a better outcome than what I expected at the WRC, and to be finally believed and vindicated on the day was like winning the lottery, I am forever grateful and look forward to getting on with my life with my head held high.”

This I will be forever grateful to TJOS solicitors and would highly recommend them for their enduring professionalism, unrelenting tenacity and complete courteousness.”

I contacted Terence J O’Sullivan when I suspected that I was being managed out of my position by me ex employer. I gave Terence the facts and expressed my concerns and he confirmed my worries. From that point on Terence was professional, clear and honest – offering excellent advise and coaching.

I was coached through the whole experience – he was never further than a phone call away – He was very honest and sympathetic and always told be what to expect throughout the Grievance Process that I initiated on upon his recommendation. It was quite a lengthy process – but with his expert advise the outcome was to my benefit.
