24th of Dec, 2007 Comment re D Webb's posting of 17th Nov Just because you claim to a happy bunny does not entitle you to discredit and castigate those unfortunate enough to have had genuine concerns about this firm. That you do so may well suggest that your own comments are disingenuous. You also apportion multiple comments to an anonymous 'man'. How do you know who it is, and that it is a man? How is 'he' your sole suspect? Is it that you know that this firm has badly wronged 'him'? Having failed to get a reply from this firm, or indeed The Law Society re the otherwise conclusive evidence that this firm engaged in collusive crime against me by endeavouring to sanitise the malpractice of a fellow solicitor, I am legally entitled to present my evidence to the hosts of this site. Should one not also feel a moral obligation to protect others from potential loss? This firm has every opportunity to address the issues I have put to them, and it is hardly that a solicitor cannot defend himself. With rare exception on the entire site, I have always signed my name and address, and people are free to request confirmation of my identity as they please. So now 'D Webb' you might tell us your real name and address. Otherwise one is inclined to conclude that you are really O'Gorman. In fact your comments would be entirely consistent with what they would say about themselves, or indeed what their pet clients would say, i.e. those who benefit while other clients are unduly compromised and for which corrupt solicitors inevitably get kickbacks. While we are at it, you might also explain who all the initial anonymous people were who signed assumed names on here initially to flattering comments. Was this not also O'Gorman? That inappropriate comments were also made on here about their victims confirms to me that someone thinks they themselves are a cornered rat, and it does not take a brain surgeon to figure how who that is in all probability. So now 'D Webb', let us have your reply and your real identity. And if you are such a good friend of this firm, you might also ask them to address the issues that I have put to them. I am sure after all that as you have experienced some lows with them that you would certainly wish to confirm for yourself that they would never let anyone down, moreover given that such is your extensive dealings with them that they could well destroy your life. I know that I would wish to establish that. I look forward, as I am sure many others do. Yours sincerely, Brendan Hegarty, Ballythefireside, Ballymacool Wood, Letterkenny, Co Donegal
24th of Dec, 2007 Re D Webb's comments, 17 Nov 2007 Webb refers to "proper channels" for dispute resolution, yet wasn't it Mr Justice Honohan who recently condemned these "proper channels" as being farcical, i.e. the same channels that cost the banks 200 million euro and we are still counting. Having seen Hegarty's file, and in the absence of a reply, I think that anyone who praises this firm is either one of themselves, or one of the people who also benefitted from their shady dealings. In my own opinion I think this firm has certainly engaged in very suspect activity. What is find amusing though is that they think people don't know what is going on here, and that suggests an element of innocence. There are far smarter people in the legal profession who know what is going on here and they see through all the nonsene, what with all these supposed glaring reports, etc. There is only one solution - let O'Gorman address the questions that Hegarty has put to him, and stop all this nonsense of telling us that this firm is so sqeaky clean. The Master of the High Court Mr. Edmund Honohan recently referred to the regulation of solicitors and his comments are entirely consistent with Mr Hegarty's experiences with this firm. So who do I believe? The two genuine parties who have nothing to gain and everything to lose from corruption, or a bunch of crooks who make a living out of corruption? Anthony & Helena Blackwell, Dublin 6
24th of Dec, 2007 'Vicious in their attacks' 'D Webb' implies that contributors on here have been vicious, and maybe they have, but these are provoked comments, provoked by viciousness on the part of Messrs Anthony O'Gorman & Co. I know of the Hegarty case and there are some individuals that would have been somewhat more than vicious to perpetrators of the lowest forms of crime, i.e. professional betrayal. Anne Durcan, VOIS Member, Co Mayo
12th of Sep, 2007 Guilty as charged my lord This guy got an initial bout of flattering comments, only then for the truth to come out. I think this little ploy by O'Gorman provoked the truth. I believe he is treading dangerous waters, moreover as he is an amateur. If the judiciary read this they would never again find any credibility in his pleas in court. And as that is a green shoot of justice I will sign off on that positive note. Ann Marie & Mark Carlin, Athy
9th of Jan, 2008 Happy New Year Hopefully all corrupt solicitors will meet with reality in the New Year, and victims will have one hell of a good one!
9th of Jul, 2006 Avoid like the plague, also noted for getting up womens' skirts!
12th of Jul, 2006 Stealing Client Files I am US based and they refused to forward my files to my new solicitor, which I had to arrange when I discovered that these guys were actually obstructing the process that they supposed to be completing. Eventually the threat of a gallon of petrol through the door worked and the files were then released. The papers looked like they were purposely mixed up. I would not even waste time going to the Law Society. All I say is God Bless America if that is what Mother Ireland is doing to her people.. it is long enough we were held down by foreign powers, now these thick ignorant assholes think they can get away with daylight robbery... and so far they have not been proven wrong... send them to Guantanamo and we'll deal with them!
14th of Jul, 2006 Liam Doherty Very professional Solicitor. I moved all my business to this Solicitor from another county, as i was very impressed with his quality of service and his willingness to go the extra mile.
14th of Jul, 2006 Niamh We hired this firm to do the conveyance on my first house. I We were provided with excellent service, and moved into our house in record time. anyone buying or selling should definately consider this firm for their excellent service and compeditive fees.
14th of Jul, 2006 He will lift anything I am sure he will lift anything he can lay his hands on, skirts or files, a grabbing shagger who has his own close circle of preferred clients, good for them but what about the unsuspecting members of society that don't know this?
17th of Jul, 2006 Niamh moved in record time my backside! With the greatest respect, this sounds dubious...what you are basically saying is that you were happy....I know that might sound remarkable with this firm but you are supposed to be happy.... 'Record Time'.....sounds like Formula One....well what he did to a colleague of mine some time ago would also have won thema Formula One race, but one about 3 years later...and he was up to tricks as we just caught him on time....I bet Niamh is really Anthony O'Forman's alias name....
17th of Jul, 2006 Liam is also an alias I actually moved my files from O'Gormans to another county...and now I am delighted that I got rid of them...isn't it a pity that all solicitors have skeletons in their cupboards...what do the locals in Gorey think of him though....the dogs in the streets barking about him....I met a few guys in London from Gorey and they had things to say that would not please the heart....they also moved their files from them...old O'Gorman to me appears to be a two faced professional gangster
18th of Jul, 2006 B. O'Donoghue Very professional
21st of Jul, 2006 Clare Redmond A local, friendly, and hard working group of people.
19th of Jul, 2006 Tom O'Brien Professional firm, with good work ehtic.
18th of Jul, 2006 Ciara Murphy Very happy with how i was treated. they did an excellent job, and the staff are really friendly. Thank you to them all.
21st of Jul, 2006 Siobhan O'Sullivan Anthony is a wonderful solicitor and has been there to offer legal advice in every cricis in our family.
28th of Jul, 2006 Jim Doyle A good listener and very proactive and professional man.
12th of Aug, 2006 Suzanne O'Donnell I have great respect for Anthony for his professional manner along with his personal nature.
15th of Aug, 2006 Emma O'Sullivan Very pleasant and hard working.
16th of Aug, 2006 Finbar O'Reilly Good direct advice
31st of Aug, 2006 Mark Boyle sound advice
31st of Aug, 2006 Catriona Reynolds Anthony, great character and honest personality. very happy with his prfessional advice.
31st of Aug, 2006 Alison O'Shaughnessy First class lawyer, excellent attention to detail.
28th of Sep, 2006 All us 27 victims of his are online... He really believes that people will fall for that one... I think a Nobel Prize is in order....a medal...not for service to the legal profession...and certainly not for ingenuity...God bless us all.
28th of Sep, 2006 BEWARE Dodgy stodgy... as bad as the worts... he is a real networker with all the baddies... everyone here in Gorey knows this... I won't even bother to detail my experiences some years ago.
28th of Sep, 2006 Family & Friends of Anthony O'Gorman, or was it himself? How come in 2 weeks, a dozen or so people just decide out of the blue to praise this man to no end. Is it a coincidence that he was just found at this time to have neglected a file for 12 months to protect another solicitor? He didn't even open an 'urgent' file and to the compromise of an unfortunate client that he promised faithfully he would help out of a hole he was put into by another solicitor and fellow Law Society member of Mr O'Gorman and his son. People can draw their own conclusions but as a victim support member I find this pathetic. O'Gorman should be locked up along with the other solicitors engaging in criminal activity.
28th of Sep, 2006 Law Society Gang They all back up each other, he is probably only covering the backside of another culprit that previously covered up for him. This sounds like the case in Listowel with Pierse & Fitzgibbons/Home Buy Home Sell... where they tried to channel the ownership of land away from the rightful owner. O'Gorman is one of them alright, all the locals here in Wexford know that, his name comes up time and again, and little wonder if the Law Society protects him.
1st of Sep, 2006 Stars after his name Are you all mad, the only stars he should have are in his eyes after getting a walloping for what he has been up to for decades! There is no law in Ireland while this goes on! We had the Church here in Wexford, then the Gardai.. we have learned nothing... these guys are putting their hands into people's pockets and stealing.
1st of Sep, 2006 STEALING AT FUNERALS That is what this guy gets up to, distorting wills, etc... that's the real STEALING AT FUNERALS as it is now known, do we see the Gardai addressing it...
1st of Sep, 2006 Joe Tiernan Boy am I so glad to hear that things have caught up on O'Gorman, and all his fond admirers singing his praises....do you think we are all as stupid as yourself Gorman...you'll have to do better than that....and you will be caught eventually....I look forward ro the day they lock you up....SHAME ON US FOR ALLOWING YOU TO GET AWAY WITH ALL THIS, y the way I have now solved my issues that you created....and you can sing if you thibk I am paying you when you were seen in Jurys in Ballsbridge with the other party....funny old world!
2nd of Jun, 2008 'Scared to death' of solicitors In this case it would appear that it is the solicitor who has cause to be 'scared to death', basically because of the personal attacks he inflicted on others.
20th of Feb, 2008 Re 3 Star Ratings The only networked contributors that concerns the public are the deadly solicitor ones that have plagued Mother Ireland over the years. Look at Lynn, Byrne, this gang, etc.
5th of Sep, 2006 Do they really think we are so foolish? How would 12 people decide to sing the praises of this firm, all within 2 weeks? Only if they knew they were a bunch of crooks - and that they are. People have been shot for less, there comes a time when people get sick of this. I bet these guys are shaking in their boots, and good enough for them for all the distress they have caused, and will continue to cause. This is anarchy in the extreme. Everybody in the know has plenty of scam on this bunch. Those not in the know will soon learn the hard way. I would not recommend anyone have anything to do with Anthony O'Gorman or his son. It's a bad way to teach a young lad, but then again what do you expect. Like father like son.
5th of Sep, 2006 Ann & Marcellina Smyth 3 stars does not do justice to the professionalism, integrity and expertise of Anthony and his firm. A real pleasure to do business with. We could not envisage using any other solicitor.
3rd of Mar, 2008 Re 'D Webb', etc I know Brendan Hegarty and he did not put on my complaints, nor those of others that we both know. We can use PCs ourselves and anyone who thinks that this is a one person campaign must be stupid. There are 1,450 members of VOIS so there are literally hundreds of thousands of people who have been screwed by various solicitors. Brendan's cases were used in one sample that we have independently assessed, and the reason was that he was able to articulate them and show exactly the wrong that this firm did. Some cases can be more complex and his experience in advising others was also a factor. I am myself aware of 7 individuals who believe this firm to be operating on bogus standards. I also believe that 'D Webb' is nothing more than O'Gorman trying to recover what is a lost cause. Respectable solicitors will now shun him as they know full well that the cases have all the hallmarks of the truth, i.e. there is motive, etc. Some of these guys will be rattling in their coffins by the time the truth is accepted, and sure isn't that all the better as then they cannot lie about it in defence.
8th of Sep, 2006 Sarah Garry I can only rate this Solicitors firm on a basis of how they have treated me personally. In this case, I believe them to be a very professional, dedicated and hard working team and it has been a pleasure to deal with them. They will get my future business.
12th of Sep, 2006 L. McGovern Very pleased with this firm. clearly if you do not like a solicitor then you move on to another one, There are plenty our there. and if you still can't get over it, get counselling..
13th of Sep, 2006 Clare excellent firm and friendly staff.
22nd of Oct, 2006 Condoning Victim Abuse I was directed to this site. A solicitor condoning professional abuse of victims? This is pathetic. We have had enough of this in Wexford, and indeed in the world. This is another form of self-gratification. The similarity is that it is inflicted by institutions that we were told to trust by our parents. I am speechless that a solicitor would concoct such nonsense to defend his wrongdoings and where we all know what he has engaged in. And I will not hide behind a false name. Mamie O'Shea, Wexford.
25th of Oct, 2006 Who needs counselling? 'McGovern' and O'Gorman are the ones who need counselling....sick legal perverts is the illness....it was only a matter of time befire things caught up with O'Gorman. Fair plays to the people behind this site for exposing him.
20th of Oct, 2006 Get counselling McGovern This firm was found to be in cahoots with another corrupt firm, and McGovern suggests that the victim should 'get counselling'. One wonders who needs the counselling..victims of perverse solicitors and their cronies. My money says that all these fans are family & friends of Gorman, as he knows he is caught red-handed. No other site has such praises. He is that pathetic he thinks people will not see this for what is really going on.
22nd of Oct, 2006 Health Service Staff & Mother I think Anthony O'Gorman and his supporters should withdraw what they have said. This is akin to a sexual abuser saying his victims were sick in the first place, and that what happenend to them was of their own doing, supposedly because they were vulnerable. The only sick people are the perpetrators, the abusers. As a Wexford mother I am thoroughly ashamed to think that such monsters might live amongst us. They are as defiant as ever. I have no doubt but that there was an element of truth in the allegations against Anthony. On the basis of his responses, I am left speechless.
25th of Oct, 2006 THE GOREY AFFAIRS We have nothing but contempt for this man and his son. He refuses to surrender deeds to our property unless we pay him for misrepresenting us. i.e. acting on behalf of the opposite party while we thought he was on our side. We were paying him after all. How does he gat away with it one can only wonder? Marie Foley NT on behalf of Mr John K Foley Waterford
25th of Oct, 2006 The Den of Iniquity As someone else said, it was only a matter of time, I am signing my name to this also. Kevin Rohan
22nd of Oct, 2006 McGovern & Counselling My attention was drawn to this site by a victim of this firm who is known to me in a personal, but not professional capacity I might add. I am acutely aware of what is going on here and I have seen compelling evidence that this firm is part of a ring of white collar crime. I am a counsellor and I take exception to 'McGoverns' comments, not that I am at all sure but that he is an 'alias' solicitor himself. I have counselled victims of all sorts of abuse here in the South East, and this is merely another form of it, abuse of vulnerable people by cowards who disguise themselves within these powerful institutions. As we all know, it is the members of these powerful institutions that need the counselling, and to suggest that there is something wrong with their victims in absurd. A solicitor who abuses clients is no different to any other type of abuser, i.e. the abuse they inflict is only determined by the 'opportunities' that they get. This is what one calls 'a bad person'. To assist an abuser is to be an abuser oneself and that is where I will leave it. The only 'wrong' with victims McGovern is that they cannot defend themselves. Unlike you and your gang, their problems are not of their volition. It is as a result of what you solicitors have done, and continue to do.. SHAME ON ALL SOLICITORS FOR NOT CONDEMNING SUCH LOW LIFES. I HAVE NEVER HEARD ANYTHING LIKE IT. THERE CAN BE NO FORGIVENESS FOR THIS.
22nd of Oct, 2006 Approval of Abuse I was advised of what has been said on this web site. I deal with victims of abuse and 'L McGovern's' comments are totally inappropriate. I also know that solicitors are a strong union and do support each other, moreover as there are vast sums of money concerned. It is such a shame that it has come to this. If this is what Anthony F O'Gorman & Co is about then it is a sorry state. It cannot be that he does not know about this, as all his friends have clearly been on here on his behalf. Why does he need their support one can only wonder? This firm should immediately distance itself from the notion of McGovern's comments. This is so sad, after all we have been through with the Church.
1st of Nov, 2006 Star rating If this guy gets a star what does it say for the ones you recommend people avoid. O'Gorman has a history of taking down the Almighty, along with the rest of us. I don't believe for one minute that all the praises on here are genuine.
31st of Oct, 2006 Colluding with other Solicitors We are now aware that this firm and all 3 partners connected with it are notorious for this. They did it with us and the Law Society did nothing to help it. We are aware of their colluding with the Home Buy Home Sell franchise, and it isn't the first time. Based on past experience, goodness knows what they have done with the defective conveyances these guys did. This is a serious thing and they may find they end up boxing above their weight. Remember The Field down there...Kerrymen are tough. If only The Bull would sort out this firm, Wexford would clearly be a better place, and indeed Ireland! If solicitors feel entitled to self-determination, then why shouldn't their victims do likewise? ROLL ON THE DAY OF JUSTICE. MEANWHILE LET'S MAXIMISE THE EXPOSURE OF THEIR WRONGDOINGS TOWARDS INNOCENT VICTIM CLIENTS.
31st of Oct, 2006 Maurice Foley This is all old news, this guy has taken down half of the county over the years. We all have the scars, even those of us who don't even know he is a con.
31st of Oct, 2006 Refuses to Surrender Files I am delighted we now have the chance to expose him for what he is. The thing is if you do get caught by him, other solicitors will not nail him. Be very careful here! Steer clear..that hurts crooked solicitors most, as they are greedy bastards, and cutting off the money supply from them is the key. Lock them up like we do with all other criminals.
1st of Nov, 2006 Thick skinned robber A man after your pocket. We paid 10,500 Euro for work we are now told took 1-2 days max. The Law Society says that he was entitled to charge this due to the transaction value and the attention required as a consequence of that. This is daylight robbery is the extreme.
31st of Oct, 2006 5 Star Rodent Will these guys ever learn? Whatever about networking with other solicitors he definitely colludes with a local Auctioneer. We have the scars to prove it. We are living in South Africa and had property let out in Waterford. O'Gorman was recommended to us and we subsequently found out that the property was let out long before we knew about it, and before the date on the contracts that were signed in his offices. We are out of pocket £2,750 and what solicitor would take them on. We are advised by a friend here that the Auctioneer and the solicitor will blame each other, hence a no go case. The same happened to friends of ours in Limerick. It would appear that when the cat is away, the mice will play. The Law Society is a pure waste of time. Nothing has changed in Ireland. In fact I think it is now worse as there is more money floating around and these guys are having a big party. Roll on the tribunals into them...but that will never happen because they control the system. As it says in a legal novel, 'when you open your mouth, they p*ss into it'. If it is as bad as it sounds with all the other firms up and down the country, you guys over there should organise a peaceful parade against self-regulation, and which is legal. MAKE AN EXAMPLE OF ONE OF THEM AND THEY MIGHT NOT BE SO QUICK TO TAKE THE P*SS WITH OTHER VULNERABLE PEOPLE, WHICH IS EVERYBODY. IT IS A MAJOR NATIONAL ISSUE. AS GAYBO ONCE SAID, 'IT MAY NOT BE YOU TODAY'.
31st of Oct, 2006 Malachy & Merriam Francis, Waterford I was directed to this site. Yes, we were had by Anthony. I hope he choked on his ill-gotten gains. Keep it up VOIS..hell ain't half full.
8th of Nov, 2006 I got great advice also Avoid like the plague. Old school culture working for self-interest, not client interest. There is one of these in every toem. As Micheal O'Murhurtaigh says...THERE'S ALWAYS ONE'.
20th of Nov, 2006 Never to be trusted! Looks after No 1..and to hell with clients. Old boy network here lads!
24th of Nov, 2006 What they don't get up to .... He is definitely one of the gang of old boy networkers. What they don't get up to is not worth getting up to and that about sums it all up. They are stuck in the County Council, Dail Eireann, Solicitors and The Gardai, and that is all we know about on here. Of course they have great geographic coverage, from Kerry to Wexford. Now who else could they need in their vicious circle. Crooked Lawyers.com is his home, welcome Anthony & Family!
30th of Nov, 2006 TBA To Be Avoided. Great site.
12th of Dec, 2006 Sick & so sad Long history of compromises here. I won't mention my dad's as he still has our files and won't give them to us.
13th of Dec, 2006 Losing files Well supposedly so, an old hand at it. How they get away with it beats me. The great train robbers par excellence!
13th of Dec, 2006 Throw him to the lions How does this site allow all his dubious 3 star ratings. This is the Gorman family at work. Not alone are they bent but stupid as well.
16th of Dec, 2007 Will the real O'Gorman please stand up The real Bernard Black is most likely Baby O'Gorman and his snide remarks suggest this. True to form he ignores the facts and why are we not surprised? Slagging off your victims when they catch you out is spineless and again the cap fits well on those who wear it most. In this case it is well worn out. As someone said elsewhere, the O'Gormans should now present themselves at their local Garda station, i.e. before the local Gardai come to them. Mind you I think they should wait. It will be better craic to see them being led into the back of the pickup; them looking out from their cage, and in any event they would not do the honourable thing in the first place so the craic will be mighty over there. It will be a great day too for Mother Ireland when all professional crooks are caged up. Dan & Alison Sheely-Breen, Bristol, England
20th of Feb, 2007 Shocking Extremely suspect star ratings - come on - the old boys network at work - he has absolutely ruined any respect I may have had for him in his handling of a family transaction - too disgraced even to share it - badly handled and has cost us several thousand and several years to rectify - when we finally found out what had occurred - past statute of limitations though - lucky for him!
22nd of Feb, 2007 Macarten is as 2 faced as they come No respect for clients at all.
26th of Feb, 2007 Like dad like pup Anthony is a noted crook, he charged us £5,750 to do a conveyance when we were in the US. We reported him to the Law Society and they said it was the son (Macartan) who handled the transaction. They fed all our files to them of course, so now we cannot make a claim against them. Where did he get such a name anyway? Every dog has its day and thanks to the hosters of this site. Keep up the good work. As I presume you are voluntary, where can we make a contribution to you? --Thank you for your kind offer. Please e-mail us so we can give you the details. ADMIN--
26th of Feb, 2007 Where are all his heroes now? Why did this site allow all the initial false praise? This says it all. I too think Macarten is great, the greatest b****** on earth and along with pappa. I wouldn't even waste time detailing how they took down my late uncle who lived alone. M O'Carroll NYC, ex Lismore, Waterford, Ireland. BTW it's a long road, and I have a fast car!
3rd of Mar, 2007 Bad enough old boyos The old boy network is bad enough, but when young lads start taking after crooked daddy...then it is a real worry...attrition will not solve it. We will bestow it on the next generation and they will inherit it. THAT'S THE BOTTOM LINE. WE OUGHT TO BE SO PROUD.
7th of Mar, 2007 Lone star to 'non-star' We didn't fall for it. The rot in the establishment.
9th of Mar, 2007 Patrick & Joan Tracey, New York ex Gorey, Co Wexford No limits to what he gets up to with other solicitors. In my case he was seen in a hotel before the court hearing, in close conversation with the solicitor from the opposite side. He wanted us to accept an offer which was below what we eventually got. We could have got more but for his half hearted effort in presenting our case. Going by what we have heard here, we are helpless, but I suppose by bringing it into the open we are getting some closure. This is criminal activity in the extreme and on the basis of what I have heard elsewhere, I believe every single thing about him on here.
10th of Mar, 2007 Macarten is the black sheep I didn't know the father was that bad. The son took us to the cleaners. Like another victim, sold us down the river. I am happy the site has exposed them. Unruly.
12th of Mar, 2007 Anthony is the perpeTRAITOR The garsoon could not tie his laces, not to mind scheming. It is all big bould daddy. He was in law school with another (well decorated) solicitor here. Maybe they shared a bed. Obviously they still do. They screw other people as well.
12th of Mar, 2007 Partnership They are all the same and if one is guilty of crime then they are jointly and severally liable, and definitely so when they all know what the others are involved in and did nothing to correct it.
12th of Mar, 2007 sick gombeens Same as a few others, all having their own networks within their centuries old union, passed down through generations. We are still slaves to an illegitimate authority.
14th of Mar, 2007 A bad pack of eggs Conned by late uncle out of his savings with a bogus property buyer. Deposit missing. Whose pocket is it in?
18th of Mar, 2007 What he did to the South East He singlehandedly turned the Sunny South East into the Shitty South East. For all those outside the county he conned, we apologise. We should have warned you. Great site here so hopefully this is the beginning of the end. Thank God for that.
19th of Mar, 2007 Old school And it looks like the younger old school are every bit as good, or bad, depending on where you end up.
23rd of Mar, 2007 Johnny Conned an old couple out of money in Hollyfort by selling their land to the Council. Where is the money Anthony? Problem is that he had friends in the WCC who colluded with him.
24th of Mar, 2007 Not the worst? If there is worse than this firm then all I can say is God help their clients.
24th of Mar, 2007 Macarten was our problem Or was he following his uncle's instructions? Snide and silly but lining his own pockets. Just how do they get away with it? This is a great site. You have no idea how much it is appreciated here in Wexford.
24th of Mar, 2007 Re Johnny That is going on in Spain and the Spanish authorities thought they were the first to discover it. One instance of it is where the solicitor gets a backhander for letting down a client to the benefit of 'the other side'. Taking down the vulnerable is known in legal circles as 'widows and orphans schemes'. Where Real Estate is involved the backhander can be significant, although it is often paid in kind, e.g. planning favours, etc. A similar abuse of 'discretionary powers' took place with known associates of this firm in Kerry. They rounded on an elderly lady who happened to be in ill health at the time, and where her land was sold to a Regional Airport, not Kerry Airport to the best of my knowledge. The price agreed was Ir£20,000. The old dear recovered, only to receive a Capital Gains Tax Assessment for Ir£350,000. The Law Society was informed and nothing was done about it. So they STOLE Ir£330,000 and got off scott free. That would be over 1 Million Euro given March 2007 values. Of course they knew the airport needed the land, and I suppose whoever they were dealing with 'inside' also got a cut for making sure it all went smoothly. This is common knowledge. Goodness knows what else is going on that we don't know about. Mr Padraig O'Rian, Dungloe, Co Donegal
24th of Mar, 2007 There was an old bastard from Wexford! The worst in Ireland, not to mind Wexford. What did we ever do to deserve him? I am not a bit surprised to hear that he is still 'networking'. He screwed us when we sold our house by telling us that he had inside information from the bank that the highest bidder would not get a mortgage. We later found out that the underbidder was a friend of his nephew Macarten, and who we believe is also a solicitor. Just how does he get away with it? Patrick & Kay Brogan, New Ross
30th of Mar, 2007 Put out the word Johnny Johnny, this guy has taken down a lot of peole outside the locality and who are hard to bring together. As you are local, please put out the word about this site so that locals can air their views, be they victims or fans. That will be very fair indeed.
30th of Mar, 2007 And there is also a young bastard from Wexford! Carrying on the family tradition. Breedin beats feedin.
1st of Apr, 2007 Macarten He should have his own thread here as he is also now at it. Chip off the old block.
11th of Apr, 2007 Macarten is a plague Tried to add commission to my mortgage borrowings for introducing the broker. I saved 10,000 by using my own broker, although Macarten told me we risked losing the house by doing this. Sad as it may sound, it is some comfort to know that I am only one of many, VERY VERY many as it appears. NOW WHAT IS GOING TO BE DONE ABOUT IT? SIGNED: Goreyman
17th of Apr, 2007 The Gorey details Ould man Anthony and Rookie Macarten duck and dive behind each other all the time. Perfect smoke screen. The Law Society has a lot to account for with these as members. They would not be allowed into any self-respecting organisation. Well Anthony visits the odd brothel we are told. Now that might be a self-respecting entity by comparison with the Law Society. At least in a brothel your victims get paid, unlike the Law Society where the aggressors collect. Screwing the whole country they are, in every sense of the word. As someone said, is there anybody out there?
17th of Apr, 2007 Networks with other firms He is an old (and dab) hand at this over the years. And now the son is at it. Playing a dangerous game. I have seen one instance and if I was him I'd be fairly worried if this is anything to go by. He literally does not know who he is dealing with. I suppose he will fall over sooner or later. Unlike other culprit firms though, his shenanigans are so blatant as to beggar belief that he did not make some attempt to disguise what he was up to. The word on the street with the VLPS is that someone has something on him and he is being used. Maybe over a bit of shirt (or a trousers?) or whatever. Maura McManus, Dublin 5
17th of Apr, 2007 Congrats Macarten From the Sheehy family, Bristol, UK. I hope your ill gotten gains from what you did with our dad's house scutters you and all belong to you. We wish you no luck. We may be gone but we haven't forgotten. And we will be back. If anyone needs our support please contact us via John Gill 00353 (0)61 360436. Mrs K, John James Sheehy & Family, BS1, UK.
17th of Apr, 2007 The Gorey details I like it. Anyone using this shower is either a pure fool or a stranger. These people cannot walk the streets.
22nd of Apr, 2007 Original 3 star ratings So obvious he is a baddie, look at the initial praise he got. Where are they all now though? I suppose it was only a matter of time before things down the years caught up with him. And now he has the son involved in it as well. Times will change and these guys will be weeded out. Good riddance. Anon, Bunclody
23rd of Apr, 2007 Sanitising files There are known connections between Macarten O'Gorman and Pierse Fitzgibbon (aka Home Buy Home Rob). Protecting each other would be like brothers sticking up for each other in a street fight. United they stand, but when the game is up it might be a different story.
23rd of Apr, 2007 SUBSTANTIAL REWARD FOR INFORMATION LEADING TO CRIMINAL CONVICTIONS IF ANYONE HAS INFORMATION OF ANY WRONG DOINGS ON THE PART OF THIS FIRM OR INDEED ANY SOLICITOR, PLEASE MAKE YOURSELF KNOWN IN CONFIDENCE TO JOHN GILL, OR ANY OF THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE OPENLY RAISED CONCERNS ABOUT WHAT HAS BEEN DONE TO THEM. A PUBLIC PARADE WILL BE HELD AT THIS FIRM'S PREMISES, DATES AND TIMES TO BE ADVISED.
23rd of Apr, 2007 Open letter to Macarten & Anthony O'Gorman Dear Sirs, You committed to representing my interests as a client, concerning what I now understand to be a criminal attempt by Pierse Fitzgibbon Solicitors, Listowel (also trading as Home Buy Home Sell) to corrupt the rightful title deeds of a house I acquired. I contacted you initially and you asserted that there was no conflict of interest in your doing the rectification, and advising me on recovering damages from Pierse Fitzgibbon, and also advising the Gardai on the criminal aspect. You endeared yourselves to me, firstly by Anthony O'Gorman telephoning me on a Saturday and empathising with my unfortunate position, and his regret that his fellow solicitors would wrong anyone. Macarten O'Gorman then collected the files in person from my home in Donegal and took them to Wexford. After 12 months in all, what you did was sanitise the file, and you made no attempt whatsoever to rectify it, i.e. you tried to protect Pierse Fitzgibbons, but you might have failed in your miserable gombeenism. I also recall the contradictory lies told by your firm. Who do you think you are playing against? For the record, I can tell you both that you will live with the consequences of this for the rest of your days. I will never stoop so low as to do wrong, but pay dearly you will. This is not a threat, it is a promise, and one I will keep. If you thought for one minute you were going to fool me, then you are so so wrong. That was tried and now it is payback time, your payback time. Now if you have anything to say to any of this, let's hear it. Otherwise people will draw their own conclusions and where I am happy that I am of service in weeding out rodents from the legal profession. It is also a comfort to see all the people speak out here about you. And your gombeenism attempt to put on initial patronising comments. Shame on all of you. You are not even good criminals. Yours very sincerely, Brendan Hegarty

5th of Jun, 2007 That quietened Macarten Hegarty must be right if they did not reply. If he is how do they still practice? AN Other Victim Bunclody
8th of Jun, 2007 Impossible I don't believe there could be more crooked people on this planet than Daddy O'Gorman (DOG) and his pup son here. Of course it is only a matter of time before they get locked up, but people should still boycott them meanwhile, and all other solicitors who participate in such dubious practices behind closed doors. AM McHugh, Donegal & Dublin. BTW Sorry to the Canine family.
11th of Jun, 2007 David Dealt with McCartan for over 18 years on property purchase and other matters. Always very polite and professional.
13th of Jun, 2007 D Webb I am amazed at all the bad comments that I have seeing written about Anthony. I have dealt with Anthony I'd nearly reckon on a daily basis for the past 8-9 years on various issue from business to property to family law. And hand on my heart his practice has never let me down once. I have 100% trust in his opinion and I honestly believe he does his best for me every single time. I have got to know his staff too on a personal basis and find them all wonderful people. Really nice and always look after me the best. Anthony himself as a solicitor in my eyes is first class and looks after your interests like they were his own... He first started as a great lawyer for me and my dad but our relationship has gone into a strong friendship. He has gone the extra mile with me to help me out every single time and has yet to let me down! I know not everybody is going to like him and I don't mean that in a bad way but it is the nature of his job. Something I wouldn't like to do!! I have got to know his brother and his son as well and they are a great team. I would highly recommend him as a solicitor and even a friend and his practice is first class. Keep up the good work!!
26th of Jun, 2007 Reply to David and D Webb re McCartan O'Gorman I am glad that you have had such a wonderful experience with a party that I believe collaborated with a fraudulent firm to pervert the course of justice by falsifying public legal documents. The bottom line was that this other Listowel based firm was caught red handed, and McCarten was instrumental in doing this along with his father. Only of course this site did not exist when they did it, and now it does. As per Law Society regs they provide a complaints service to the public, therefore they have no entitlement to privacy, not that criminal activity should ever be brushed under the carpet anyway. Of course your identity is vague and while you may be genuine, it would be appropriate to firm up on this with your precise address. It is a laughing stock when pet clients and indeed solicitors themselves offer glowing accounts on here, and which happens regularly. If there are clients that they go that 'extra mile' for, then that is often the same mile that they go through the interests of victims for a short cut, destroying peoples lives. I am sure this other firm is very happy with them. So now, come out in the open or else people will draw their own conclusions. Signed: Brendan Hegarty P.S. If McCartan O'Gorman had nothing to hide, then why doesn't he address the issues I have raised with him? Making an allegation of corruption is a very serious issue and in the absence of a reply, then the conclusive evidence stands. So now, over to you. Are you genuine or really the keyboard of O'Gorman!
3rd of Jul, 2007 David Thomas I have no need to justify my support of McCarten as a first class solicitor to you or anybody else. Suffice to say I have excellent service from him and I will continue to do business with him and recommend him to others as I have done in the past.
10th of Jul, 2007 Reply to David Thomas If you don't have to justify yourself why do you then effectively justify yourself? I for one don't care one iota, whoever you are. Of course crooked solicitors like Macartan have satisfied clients, 'pet clients' as they are known, and who may also be solicitors, i.e. the ones who benefit from what they take from some clients. I have seen a number of files on Macarten and I can tell you while his father got away with it, all this will be solved and he will have to try to make a living in a generation where this will not be tolerated. His door will be closed and good riddance. There are plenty of straight solicitors out there. Jennifer & P, Wexford
12th of Jul, 2007 D webb In response to the mad man who seems to have nothing only a simple grudge against the O'Gorman practice, I would like to draw the simple attention to the ill informed gentleman that Macarten is Anthony's brother and not son... makes me wonder if he really knew what or who he was talking about he wouldn't have such an opinion. Basically if he was in their practice and met both Macarten and Anthony he would realise there's only years between them and therefore NOT father and son like he protests... keeping this in mind I feel this person who persistantly tries to drag down their good name is the simple work of a lonely mad man...
13th of Jul, 2007 Agreed M O'Gorman is a thorough gentleman and a good solicitor to boot. I could not agree more with D Webb
13th of Jul, 2007 Bernard Black I totally agree with the comments of D Webb above, except to add that not only is the protestor a lonely mad man, but is sick as well. If the O'Gormans were as bad as he says they are, then they would have been put out of business long ago. As it is, they give a good service to the people of Gorey and surrounding areas. It is this type of rubbish that ruins a good web site and reduces it to one of ridicule.
17th of Jul, 2007 re Bernard Black Bernard Black 'knows' that O'Gorman has only one victim and that it is a 'he', and that he is 'lonely, mad and sick'. I am local and O'Gorman behaved in an unprofessional manner with my affairs and I have spoken with many more of his victims. I have better things to do with my time besides making up stories, but I am damned if I let this go. O'Gorman did the crime and now he will do the time. O'Gorman is still in business because he is protected by the Law Society which we all know is a white collar protection racket and if Mr Black has an ounce of cop on he would admit this, unless of course that Mr Black is O'Gorman writing under assumed identity again.
17th of Jul, 2007 A wee question for Mr Black How do you figure out that a victim of a protection racket is 'mad, lonely, sick, etc'. I think you are SICK, or else you have O'Gorman blood in you. Anyone condoning crime should be committed. Anyone condoning crime against defenseless victims of these mobsters is as pathetic as the perpetrators and all will get their just reward, if not in this world, then in the next. The Pope insists it will be commensurate with the crimes so I suppose we can take comfort from that.
17th of Jul, 2007 Brendan Hegarty I have been alerted to Bernard Black's comments. I believe that Anthony O'Gorman and his son Macarten O'Gorman colluded to endeavour to sanitise my file to protect his fellow solicitors and Law Society members Pierse Fitzgibbon/Home Buy Home Sell, Listowel. In so doing, they endeavoured to cover the tracks of criminal acts. In protesting against this, you state that along with all his other victims, I am 'lonely, mad and sick?' Is your own story you have and you are every bit as bad as these mobsters, and like them, you too will get your just reward. Never forget, what goes around comes around.
17th of Jul, 2007 Message re Mr Black Mr Black's comments just about tell it all. Anyone who is screwed to the wall by these legal perverts is 'mad'. If they were, they would have taken matters into their own hands and redressed the situation. Maybe they should be mad. I live in Gorey and I can confirm that it is not only people outside the town that O'Gorman has taken to the cleaners. He gives the town a bad name, we don't want crime in Gorey and the O'Gormans should take the long walk off the short plank. Gorey people are nice like Listowel people, but sadly we have a few very black sheep among us. Disgusted Gorey Residents
17th of Jul, 2007 'Black Sheep' What more can one say? Mr Black's comments amount to 'incitement.' They should not be allowed on here editor. Although on second thoughts they do tell it as it is. I bet it is O'Gorman himself talking. Otherwise Black is a complete idiot to be openly supporting crime.
17th of Jul, 2007 What does Black think of the 300 victims of Judge Curtin? What does Black think of 'One in 4'? Are these people also 'sick, mad, sad?
18th of Jul, 2007 Bernard Black Sir, I am not connected in any way with the O'Gorman firm, nor am I related to any of them. They are not my solicitors. However if they were acting in the manner suggested above, then I would beware of such actions. Anthony and MacCartan are NOT father and son as suggested in several entries. What has Judge Curtin to do with entries about the O'Gormans? I just wonder when the truth will be revealed that it was Anthony who shot John F. Kennedy and MacCartan was responsible for sinking the Titanic. With all the rubbish that is being written on this web site and indeed on a lot of other ones in other counties, the true benefit of the idea is lost forever. If the O'Gormans ever committed a crime, then a complaint should be made to the Gardai. Then if there is any evidence, they will be prosecuted like any other citizen of this Country. If there is no such evidence, then will you please shut up and stop making a nuisance of yourself. Putting entries onto this website for the next hundred years will not change anything. This will be my final entry, as I have made my point and I do not intend to labour it further. Sir, you have made your point, so likewise you should leave it be. However if you are the headbanger you appear to be, then this site will be flooded with cr*p, which will further confirm that you are a lonely sick, mad, crazy individual, who would bore the pants off any unfortunate person who would be so unlucky to have to listen to your rants and raves in person. Get a life. Life is so short, go out and enjoy yourself - smell the flowers and thank God that you are alive. If you continue with all these rants, your sickness will surly kill you. Goodbye. BERNARD BLACK. P.S. will you be able to sit quiet for more than four days before you start again? - I doubt it.
18th of Jul, 2007 Ba Ba Bernard Black Sheep Can you reconcile for me how a victim of a solicitor is 'mad, ill and lonely?' Are you suggesting that the solicitor has put them in such a state? Maybe mad or ill, but hardly lonely. Well maybe until this site and VOIS was set up. Now these victims are lonely no more as we all now know that there are thousands of victims all over the country. Solicitors will end up being mad, ill and lonely, well hopefully anyway, as there will be no honour amongst thieves and once the apple cart starts to fall they will eat each other to stay outside of jail. Meanwhile Bernard, you are the one who is ill. Don't call yourself an Irishman anyway.
18th of Jul, 2007 All us lonely and sick Bernard (Very) Black insists that anyone who voices complaints about corruption is 'mad, lonely and sick'. Nelson Mandela, 1 in 4, VOIS (Victims of Irish Solicitors), etc, etc. Black is clearly a corrupt individual himself, and don't you just know that the net is closing. Well he does anyway. I suppose if daddy O'Gorman is gone before the hare sits, at least the young pup will take the brunt. Close them down I say. Close them down. AJ Nolan
17th of Aug, 2007 Thanks to the Internet I don't think O'Gorman would have been so creative if he was mindful that the Internet would be deployed in tracking him. What we must remember here is that these networks of corruption are deeply ingrained over the years. And they haven't quite gone away just yet. It is great though that some culprits are being exposed. They will not be touched though but at least they will be curtailed. Retired NT
18th of Aug, 2007 I was in his office recently... with a problem... And the first thing he says as a matter of course is that his firm has been mistreated by this site and that the only reason he does not sue is because of where it is hosted. Well isn't it great that for a change someone has got level with these guys. I suppose they could not keep things to themselves forever. He is clearly concerned that this has boiled over. I asked him why he did not reply to Hegarty's questions and he went all coy. I think he was put out that someone walked through his door and had the gall to question him right on his own doorstep. A protest at his office would be a great idea. Incidentally his misadventure with my file has not been rectified at no cost to me. Basically he did a conveyance about 9 years ago and he never completed it. We only found out about it when we went to mortgage the property. SO STAY AWAY FROM THIS GUY WHERE CONVEYANCE IS CONCERNED. That's my advice.
13th of Aug, 2007 A question for Bernard Black As Black is clearly in O'Gorman brigade... let him also address the above question posed: I have examined Hegarty's file and it is clear that apart from what was removed from the file, not a single instruction of the client was acted upon, i.e. not alone does the copy of the file prove O'Gorman tried to cover Pierse Fitzgibbon footprints, but also by not acting on the file, O'Gorman was endeavouring to further delay the day of reckoning for his fellow Law Society member. As a VOIS member I take grave exception to Black's comments and they do little even for the few straight solicitors that might be out there.
7th of Aug, 2007 Collusion between solicitors Macarten O'Gorman insists that there is something wrong with anyone who is rounded upon by a number of firms of solicitors. Need we say any more? Every dog will have their day and what goes around will come around. B and C Murphy, Clonakilty, Co Cork
7th of Aug, 2007 Who is Black addressing? He appears to address 'Sir'? Is it that the O'Gormans know their victims? I don't think it is sick for all their unhappy clients to raise their concerns on here. I do think though that Black is rather sick in telling us that we should be grateful to be alive. His gang would not get away with what they are doing in any other country in the world. In Ireland we allow them to be agents of the court.
8th of Aug, 2007 Re Black...Nobody 'has to' read this It is people's choice and if this firm has engaged in criminal activity then it should be held answerable. The Law Society protects its members so they know they can do as they please and get away with it. I think Black is a dark alley figure, the dark alley of the solicitors' profession.
8th of Aug, 2007 Black not connected In Hegarty's case O'Gorman said he had no connection to Pierse Fitzgibbon. Black says the same. The same people telling the same lie?
8th of Aug, 2007 'lonely, sick, mad, crazy individual' That is what a victim of corruption is in Black's opinion. We all know who is 'lonely, sick, mad, crazy'...
8th of Aug, 2007 Curtin connection O'Gorman colludes with Pierse Fitzgibbon and that has been proven. While Pierse Fitzgibbon did get Curtin out of a hole, most people would believe that Curtin was guilty and got off because of who he is. This is very sad. I don't know if the link with O'Gorman is relevant but what I would say Black is that anyone who is friends of parties who funds the abuse of children should all be put up against a wall and shot at dawn.
7th of Aug, 2007 Re Bernard Black I think Black should withdraw his comments as they are most inappropriate. VOIS has examined Hegarty's files, the originals and copies, before and after O'Gorman took possession of them AND I CAN CONFIRM THAT O'GORMAN'S FIRM REMOVED FROM THE FILE THE EVIDENCE THAT INCRIMINATED PIERSE FITZGIBBON. In the 12 months that O'Gorman had the file he did not do one single thing to rectify the defective title. We also noted inconsistencies between what O'Gorman was saying and what his secretary was saying. It basically amounted to different versions of the same lies. Both firms have engaged with each other in duping Hegarty and maybe Black might focus on this besides making silly comments. AM Corry, member of VOIS forensic committee
7th of Aug, 2007 We will all die if we complain According to Black we will all die if we complain. In any other state in the world Black and his associates would die for what they are doing. I mean it is hardly that Black is suggesting that we believe that O'Gorman is not corrupt? The dogs in the street know that the Law Society is corrupt and if Black thinks otherwise than he must be a member of it himself. I think an example should be made of one corrupt solicitor and that would sort it all out. It is the only way as the establishment is counter-productive on this issue.
8th of Aug, 2007 Goodbye Black And thank God you won't be coming back. You are the only sick, crazy, etc person who has contributed on here. 3 stars for O'Gorman - get a life man, I can smell something from you and it sure as hell ain't roses! This firm is bent and we all know that. People do not waste time making complaints. Maura Bridgeman, Wexford
7th of Aug, 2007 Re Black Who is he addressing, the editor? He appears to know who is making the complaint. I know 3 people who have made contributions here, so who are you addressing Black? AM Corrigan, D4
8th of Aug, 2007 Dear Editor? How do you allow Black to make such insults. On second thoughts it is just as well to publish them as it really shows what bent solicitors are really like... sad, sick, crazy. Take him down my lord! DF, NYC
7th of Aug, 2007 Corruption Perception Index (CPI) What does 'Mr Black' say to the consensus CPI figure of 25% for the Rep of Ireland, i.e. it is 25% corrupt. What % are solicitors accountable for? Kay Finnegan, 'Ardglac', Sligo
9th of Jan, 2008 Some solicitors want independent regulation And others like this gang resist it. What does that tell us? Adam & Eleanor Carling, D8
24th of Dec, 2007 Property Fraud There are now a possible 4000 such cases of fraud involving individual properties according to The Law Society. If there are only about the same number of firms, and given that some, yes some, are not crooked, then the likes of this firm account for multiple cases. And of course once they are struck off then their insurance is invalidated, so anyone who has had any dealings with these firms concerning property deeds would be well advised to check that all is in order. All you have to do is ask them for the deeds and take a look yourself, or have another firm check it out. Even your bank can often help as they do it all the time when checking deeds for loans, well they would be good at it now that the proverbial has hit the fan with their own lending procedures. It would be terrible if one had Hegarty's experience, i.e. to find that an attempt was made to put someone else's name on the deeds of your house. How the Gardai don't act is beyond me as it is so clear cut. I have no option but to give this guy an 'Avoid' rating. Alison Dowling, Co Cork
24th of Dec, 2007 Reply to D Webb While there may be a funny side to what Webb says, it may not be as funny as he thinks. Bertie has now signalled that self-regulation is about to end, and he is now hounded beyond belief by the legal profession. I have a sneaky feeling that Black and D Webb are supporters of this firm, if not members of this firm itself. Rather than badgering on and insulting their victims, why don't they address the issues. Was this the firm that was already carpeted in another property matter concerning Michael Lynn who is gone to ground? How many properties are involved with O'Gorman?
9th of Dec, 2007 I think you're alone now! Even the local Law Society has now shunned this firm as they see him as one of the reasons why self-regulation will now be ended. Young O'Gorman is losing the rag because his future is bleak. Good riddance this firm will be.
7th of Aug, 2007 Success of this site With almost 1.5m hits to date in a country with a population of less than three times that would suggest that this site is a roaring success and all these collusive gang plots are being unravelled and exposed, and rightly so. Earlier estimations was that there were around 200,000 individual victims. The number of hits would suggest that the real figure is probably a multiple of this. This firm alone has 47 cases against them listed in the VOIS directory and if this is about average then there are about 1m cases nationally. This dwarfs all the tribunals put together. VOIS Officer
7th of Aug, 2007 Waterloo They finally met their Waterloo. Good riddance they will be. I hope this finally closes them down. Sure who will go near them if they cannot defend themselves on these allegations. There are plenty of solicitors out there, in fact 10,000 of them in Ireland. Little wonder the country is so corrupt with all of them. AP & J Morgan, Kerry
8th of Aug, 2007 Black is a fake For someone who happened to come across this site, Black went to an awful lot of effort to support this mob. I know we are all victims, but that does not make us idiots. Maybe we were trusting but I think we will all recognise a con trickster when we meet them, and that Black clearly is.
17th of Aug, 2007 Who is Black referring to? I know of numerous commentators on here. I personally spread the word here in Wexford and the South East that anyone with issues with this guy that the Law Society did not resolve should post the cases on here. And isn't it just great that the can of worms is there for all to see? The biggest worms are still in the can but they will come out, that I guarantee you. Let the vultures swoop down and take them in their beaks. And let's hope they don't shite them out on our lovely Emerald Island. As they say...you can fool some of the people... Remember that's what I told you Macarten. Alan Sheehy, Watford, Herts & Wexford
17th of Aug, 2007 Black is a sicko! As is O'Gorman, so Black = O'Gorman. You'd know his style. He is trying to suggest that he has only one victim. I know 3 who have contributed unfavourably on here about him, and for every one who does, there is probably hundreds of others who may not even know that he has screwed them to the wall, behind their backs. Not to be trusted under any circumstances, any of the people behind this firm. Crooks in suits par excellence, a prima facia case if ever there was one. D Brogan, Cork City
18th of Aug, 2007 Dubs Beware I advise my fellow Dubs to beware of this firm, moreover as lots of us are moving down there. He will have a hand at us no doubt if he gets the chance. Forewarned is forearmed - stay away from Macarten unless you want the roof to disappear from over your head.
8th of Aug, 2007 I saw Hegarty's file also It's a no brainer, Gorman caught, lousy, 'Gombeen', this is Kerry, Anthony & Macarten - you are simply out of your depth. Pierse is naive but you are pure stupid...end of story... Did you really think you were that smart?
23rd of Aug, 2007 WARNING TO ALL SOLICITORS There was an uninvited preying guest at a recent VOIS meeting trying to find out all about this site, sent by the likes of this outfit. Well isn't it so nice to know that it is working. It is a start and not a day too soon. It is a warning to all solicitors who have not remedied all their wrongs. And there is so much more to come. Hell ain't half full. VOIS member
15th of Aug, 2007 Ignore Black That is Macarten O'Gorman after all. I know his writing style and his amateurish tactics. I know exactly what he did with Hegarty's files - he did it numerous times before. I hope you don't think this ring just appeared over a bit of property in Kerry. This ring is national and I know of at least 11 firms in it. All old school boy networks.
8th of Aug, 2007 Black has numerous victims Dear Black, I personally heard of issues from no less than 11 victims of this firm at one VOIS meeting last year. Now can you imagine how many other victims there are, i.e. those who did not attend that particular meeting, which was held in Ulster. Then there are those who attend and did not voice their stories and then there are those who don't know they have been victims of the O'Gormans. In my own estimations I would say this firm is probably one of the worst offenders throughout the entire country. The high number of issues that have found their way onto this site would certainly be consistent with that.
8th of Aug, 2007 A question for O'Gorman I have examined Hegarty's file and it is clear that apart from what was removed from the file, not a single instruction of the client was acted upon, i.e. not alone does the copy of the file prove O'Gorman tried to cover Pierse Fitzgibbon footprints, but also by not acting on the file, O'Gorman was endeavouring to further delay the day of reckoning for his fellow Law Society member. As a VOIS member I take grave exception to Black's comments and they do little even for the few straight solicitors that might be out there.
4th of Sep, 2007 Hurler of the year loses his job Big Dan Shanahan lost his job at Waterford Glass because the cost spiral in Ireland is out of control. Isn't the solicitors' monopoly the most major contributory factor? Ripping off the nation is one thing. Screwing us into the bargain is quite another. All GAA fans and indeed all Irish citizens should ensure that the worst of these firms are starved of business, i.e. DO NOT USE THEM AND TAKE WITHDRAW YOUR FILES FROM THEM and as the Law Society have now instructed, they are obliged to surrender your files without charge. I also take exception to Black that this firm has only one victim. As a VOIS member I have seen three files, including Mr Hegarty's. The evidence in all is conclusive and how O'Gorman can continue to practice, moreover as an agent of our Courts system, is a poor reflection on the entire legal system. I also think the judiciary should not remain silent on the matter. They tell us it is their court after all, although it is ours also. Wake up. Alan McCarthy, Dublin 4
17th of Nov, 2007 D Webb I still read with fascination all the negative comments about this firm. I am staggered if all is said to be true that he isn't closed down, and not only the staff arrested, but hung, drawn and quartered... I suggest that all who have been "done wrong" by this firm go down the proper avenues open to them, and not be posting continuous rants and raves on this site. As I have read them all I am amazed that some get published by this site as they are so vicious in their attacks. I am also amazed that at the amount of anonymous postings, I personally would discredit and ignore these postings as the person isn't man enough to put his name to his complaint. We can all hide behind that. I have dealt with this firm for years now with various cases from family law, to selling and buying property, to business issues etc and every single time I got a service that is beyond comparison. I would, and have highly recommended this firm to numerous people, and will continue to do so. I do think a solicitor's job is a tough and lousy one as they are put in many awkward situations time and time again, however as a solicitor they must do their job to represent their clients as best they can. And I can honestly say I have had the best legal team in the country in the O'Gorman firm. I will admit there were some lows as there were highs over the years but the firm worked hard to make sure my interests were looked after, and that they did. This firm is first class!!
9th of Jan, 2008 Safety of files - rescue them! In the absence of a reply to the very straightforward and honest unanswered questions posed to this firm, anyone with an iota of sense and presence of mind should rescue their files from this firm. It is only a fool who would trust someone who cannot be trusted. It is as simple as that and don't say you weren't told if you also fall foul of them.
16th of Dec, 2007 Insiders Will End Up Inside Old establishment firms like these who have had privilege in the system will now end up inside an entirely different establishment now that their wrongs are exposed, i.e. behind vertical bars, while we will all be outside horizontal ones, celebrating and dancing on their graves, just like they danced on ours.

30th of Aug, 2007 Reply to Black Can you please explain your assertion: "However if they were acting in the manner suggested above, then I would beware of such actions"? WHAT IS YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THEM? You also state that "Anthony and MacCartan are NOT father and son as suggested in several entries". I have confirmed that this is the information that they are putting out to others on occasion, and which I was also informed of by none other than Anthony O'Gorman in person. Are they also involved in identity theft, as well as everything else. You also question the Judge Curtin connection. Firstly you are again off-side as he is not a Judge, he was caught with vile images and photographs of 3,000 orphan children being sexually abused by his partners in crime, partners who he financed, and was subsequently fired. These images were so vile that those on the investigation team who saw them had to subsequently undergo counselling. Anthony O'Gorman is a partner in crime of those who abused the legal process, Robert Pierse of Pierse Fitzgibbon Solicitors, Listowel. E.g. He was caught red-handed endeavouring to sanitise the Hegarty guy's file. I have spoken with a credible witness who forensically examined this case file on behalf of VOIS (Victims of Irish Solicitors) and there is absolutely no doubt but that the difference between the copy of the file sent and the version returned amounts to O'Gorman trying to cover the footprints of Pierse. Cover them he may but we have the old ones. Did he think Hegarty would be so stupid as to trust him like that? For the record O'Gorman did absolutely nothing to rectify the title that he asccepted was an urgent matter, although he did prevent any progress by about 12 months. I also know that O'Gorman's office lied about a family health issue. As all us law abiding citizens know, if you partake with criminals in crime, then you are a criminal. I am sorry Black if that puts your nose out of joint but these are the facts. We now look forward to your addressing the questions put to you here, particularly the first one, "I would beware of such actions". And in the absence of a full and comprehensive explanation, visitors to this site will draw their own conclusions, so stop telling us who you aren't and tell us who you are. P.J. McHugh, VOIS member, Newry, Co Down
30th of Aug, 2007 Gorey O'Gorman & Go - away from them as fast and as far as you can - the proper name according to us unfortunate to have dealt with them.
29th of Aug, 2007 Black is a Black sheep Castigating victims is sick. Of course you cover your tracks and how come Black knows this? Black is O'Gorman, no doubt about it. And then they tell us that we hide behind false names. My name is Jim McCormick and I live in Ranelagh. Now "Black", what is your first name? We know the surname. Jim McCormick, Ranelagh, Dublin 6
24th of Dec, 2007 Nub of the Issue Every firm has some satisfied clients, if only by default of their compromising one client they will inevitably make another one happy, very happy indeed by unduly benefitting from the other party's undue loss. So all these flattering comments by D Webb, B Black, etc could well be from these people, or indeed the firm themselves, in an attempt to make the genuine issues less prominent. The one issue that sticks out here is Brendan Hegarty's case. That O'Gorman refuses to address this matter can only lead to one conclusion, and the rude and vile remarks made by Black do nothing if only to confirm that O'Gorman knows his time is up and he must face the music. Justice Honohan made it clear lately that solicitors do as they please, and I suppose if Lynn defrauded the banks of 200m euro, then why wouldn't this firm screw Hegarty for was it 1m? The amazing thing is that Hegarty caught them, and the banks didn't until it was too late. Eddie Shanahan, Ballina, Co Mayo

16th of Dec, 2007 True Colours The heat is on O'Gorman and it is a credit to this site for exposing him. Thanks also to Mr Honohan the Judge who supported the orientation of this site.
9th of Jan, 2008 VOIS Member, Co Wexford I have known this firm for years and while I'm aware they have some very happy clients (some very happy indeed), the fact is that they simply cannot be trusted as they have too many contacts that open doors for "traffic to flow", and both ways I might add. I had a terrible experience with them. Basically they were pushing the case of another party to my great cost. Of course I cannot prove it as they had control of the situation and did a good job in covering their footsteps. Practice makes perfect. Anyway I am 200,000-250,000 euro out of pocket and I have nowhere to go. It is about time they were exposed and good luck to whoever built this site. Hopefully it will close down all the corrupt solicitors up and down the country. Fooled we have been but fooled no more we will be. Time has been called and out with them. Yours faithfully, VOIS Member, Knockanure, Bunclody, Co Wexford
9th of Jan, 2008 No Chance I have seen the files of 3 cases against this firm over Christmas and I can honestly say that I personally have first hand knowledge of no less than eleven firms that have been struck off for much much lesser offences. Purposeful collusion to protect crime is reprehensible, and even the Law Society won't stand for that. It is now full steam ahead. Alison McCoy, VOIS supporter, Co Kilkenny
19th of Oct, 2007 Re D Webb You are obviously closer to them than some of the rest of us. They told us that Macarten was a son of the bold Anthony. Now you say he is a brother. Such ducking and diving is a hallmark of dubious activity. Any reputable firm would not engage in such shenanigans. We also await Black's response. All us "sick people" who were taken down by this firm. God bless you, and as The Holy Father said, there will be consequences in the hereafter. I suppose it is some consolation that any restitution here will have to be effected directly as there is no policing of white collar crime in Ireland. Yours truly, Disgusted citizen and member of family who this man destroyed
9th of Dec, 2007 Re D Webb 17th Nov 2007 You are obviously supporting corrupt solicitors, as taking Hegarty's file as an example, it was independently examined and he then challenged the O'Gormans to account for why they sanitised his file and how they did nothing to it. It is also clear they wanted his file so badly that they were prepared to travel from Gorey to Letterkenny to collect it. O'Gorman must put up or close down. No other option as criminals as solicitors is history. Signed by Roger & Annie Tansey on behalf of Brendan Hegarty
9th of Dec, 2007 Great Site About time all these were exposed for what they have inflicted on people over the years. And now that it looks like it's at an end, hopefully they will pay the full price for their ill deeds. I think the name will come down from over the door and never again will an O'Gorman practice as a solicitor in Ireland, thank God.
14th of Oct, 2007 Bernard Black I was never called a Black Sheep in all my life. And I will reply to the above comments in due course.
16th of Dec, 2007 Re The Real Bernard Black With your consistent 3 star ratings, you are clearly from the O'Gorman side of affairs. So why don't you address the very straightforward and serious questions that have been put directly to you rather than lowering the tone of the site, and which does nothing if only to confirm that you are the guys who really engage in a rather lewd acts. Of course if you had spines you would not hide behind a keyboard. That you continue to do so will only have you branded along with your fellow wrongdoers, the most recent one of which is a Mr Lynn who is gone to ground as I write. And as was said elsewhere, nobody believes that you just grew long horns one morning - it is clear that you are serial players and the word on the street locally confirms this.

26th of Nov, 2007 The Real Bernard Black I've just realised that sicko out there put "my entry" in on 14th October, to allow him reply to it!!! He is now playing with himself online. Is this a record? BB
6th of Oct, 2008 D. Webb I was driving down the street the other day in Gorey and I saw Anthony O'Gorman walking around doing some shopping I think, anyways I recall some time ago that he is going to jail at a time of Mr Hegarty's choosing, just wondering is there any movement on this issue or has he been in jail and is now free... It's been some time since I was on the site, just wasn't sure, any updates? Cheers.

26th of Nov, 2007 Bernard Black Welcome to the farce. I am Bernard Black and I never made the entry on 14th October. I am not O'Gorman. The entries on this site are reducing what could have been of value to the general public to the level of a Monty Python script. Sane people will see through all this muck and know that there are sickos out there. BEWARE. BB.
15th of Mar, 2008 Re 'D Webb' The way you go on you would swear Hegarty shot Kennedy. It is you who makes malicious claims that Hegarty is responsible for all these postings and we all know where that information is coming from, a public official who is up to his arse in this and is trying to cover his own backside. And you refuse to sign a name, so I don't even know why anyone bothers with you. Maybe they don't.
18th of Feb, 2008 Hegarty does not know 'Webb' So how come 'Webb' calls him by his first name? 'Webb' is one of the O'Gorman clan no doubt as has no sympathy whatsoever for the rest of us who are being taken down by solicitors. O'Gorman is just the same as Lynn, Byrne, etc, and of course Pierse Fitzgibbon. The dead end kids we shall call them, as it is hard to see them surviving.
18th of Feb, 2008 Claim & Counterclaim The solicitors would have us believe that there is a vendetta against some of them. There is no basis for what is not even a paranoid idea. The fact is some are good and more are bad, and there is too much at stake not to expose the bad. Hegarty is only one of many people I know of who have voiced concerns here and everybody in Wexford and beyond knows that. They have picked on Hegarty because he signed his name, and of course they are wasting their time as what they did was blatant.
5th of Feb, 2008 Worse my eye! How could there be a worse firm that this man? Given that one of the worse ones is his partner in crime is no surprise at all at all.
9th of Jan, 2008 Learned Their Lesson? One would have thought that having been exposed here, they would learn their lesson, but will it be too late and if they have lost confidence in themselves already then that is also very dangerous from a client perspective. In reality, they did this before and did not learn, although I would say the lesson has been somewhat harsher here. Anyone who trusts them in light of what has been revealed here deserves what they get as there is no shortage of reputable firms here locally. That they refuse to challenge the allegations defines the whole thing for me, and does more than all other comments combined. That is the kernel of the issue. Henry & Sheena McBride and extended family, VOIS supporters, Co Wexford
14th of Feb, 2008 Don't 'Brendan' me Webb, alias O'Gorman! The last time you did that you betrayed me as a client, but I suppose you did not think I would ever have a voice outside 'Darkhall Place'. You are such a dimwitted mule that you think people fall for your shallow disguise. Your agenda is clear, to cover up your blotted copybook. You have nothing to fear from me, and in any event it's a bit late to be getting afraid. You are the danger to yourself when you keep taking people down and with a bit of luck the day might come when someone might not be as compassionate as I was. Meanwhile stop talking shite on here. Brendan Hegarty
31st of Jan, 2008 Seen in company with... Mr Pierse at Jury's in the Curtin case era. Now what was O'Gorman up to? Well didn't he own a 'back scratch'?
9th of Jan, 2008 Alison Daly, Co Cork I must admire the contributors here as I assume they refused settlement which would have covered it all up. If they were not offered a settlement then not alone are these firms corrupt, but very stupid also. And that is hardly a good recommendation for a firm who you place your trust in with your affairs. It must be worrying for their clients that they refuse to answer the questions asked of them. Law Society take note.
14th of Feb, 2008 Obvious link Have you not spotted the obvious link between this guy and Pierse Fitzgibbon? Come on now lads. Against the grain though. Not the style of 'the link'. I'll say no more.
14th of Feb, 2008 VOIS Message We are also aware that our media has been intercepted and information obtained is being used by a commercial entity for advantage while the official passing on the information inappropriately also stands to gain personally. Of course what they were not aware of was that we knew all along and had a rather amusing time, and furthermore, what was passed on was modified to make it as 'valuable' as possible. Ah, now some red faces. Another brown trousers moment I dare say.
21st of Feb, 2008 O'Gorman has 13 friends Those who all praised him when the site started up. Of course they are all of no abode, just like the 3 star brigade referred to. Shot yourselves in the foot there lads. BTW tell Anthony from me that there is great pint in Jury's. Alan Shockemole, Co Carlow
21st of Feb, 2008 He who laughs last laughs longest If someone stole your property, would you laugh? They stole mine, and you laugh at me. What goes around comes around. Did you think Prime Time on Thursday night was funny when it explored the criminal activity at the Law Society? How come the Competition Authority head (Mr Purcell) wants this ring broken up? He who laughs last laughs longest. Do enjoy it while it lasts, and savour the thought that today you are the dog, but tomorrow you are the lamp-post. VOIS member
14th of Feb, 2008 Afraid? 'Webb', you must have done something if you are afraid, as unlike your good self, it is only criminal activity that Hegarty has a problem with. Quite the contrary, you support a criminal, as every idiot knows that when bent solicitors like the O'Gormans betray one client, they of course line the measly pocket of another. And you are either 'another' or else an O'Gorman. Otherwise you would not be afraid. And you will bear the full force of VOIS for as long as you inhabit planet earth. You see O'Gorman, you got funny with the wrong people altogether, and that I know, and that you are now beginning to realise. There is no coming to terms with what you have done and of course you will not do the honourable thing, as you are not honourable. The temperature in Arklow is rising alright! Duncan McBrett, VOIS Supporter
9th of Jan, 2008 The inevitable is you keep doing it all the time you are bound to be lucky. This was inevitable and anyone who knows what they are talking about would know the record here. Two things I cannot understand is: 1. how O'Gormans got away with it for so long, 2. now that they got caught, why are they still allowed to operate? Ireland is therefore still intrinsically corrupt.
29th of Jan, 2008 Bottom of the barrel There is a bottom in every barrel, and this is the bottom of this one. And there are indeed a good few rats here. And yes, they all know each other, and work together to protect each other. A professional protection racket, that's what it is. A Duggan & Ken Albright, Greystones
24th of Jan, 2008 1 iota of credibility? If there is one iota of truth in these comments on here, then how on earth can they be allowed to deal with unsuspecting customers on such serious matters? Wake up government. What the hell are you getting a pay rise for? Signed: Deeply upset VOIS supporter
20th of Jan, 2008 Comment from another firm of solicitors See: www.mcgarrsolicitors.ie "Our profession has been getting a particularly bad press recently, all of it deserved." Interesting I dare say. At least there is such a thing as a non-dodgy/stodgy solicitor. Your colleagues think you deserve it O'Gorman!
29th of Jan, 2008 Re 'Comment from another firm of solicitors', 20th Jan 2008 It is very easy, all clients of corrupt solicitors should instruct that their files be transferred to the likes of this firm. Given that conveyances are now slowed down there should be loads of willing and able competition. I think the day of the corrupt solicitors is well and truly over, especially when Honohan (Master of the High Court) coined the "mumbo jumbo" term. And boy does it apply here.
14th of Feb, 2008 AnDony Webb is guilty Nobody is afraid of Brendan, only those who have something to fear because they did wrong to him. And Webb has never queried the situation, makes you wonder. My money says he already knows, maybe he is the man! I think these guys are not even smart, let alone straight.
14th of Feb, 2008 Webb's veiled flattery Hegarty has never taken issue with anyone unless they have wronged him. And those who have wronged him have not yet been rewarded. I admire him and I hope he makes an example out of them.
14th of Feb, 2008 Webb's faux pas Webb is afraid of Hegarty, because Webb is really O'Gorman. And in which case he ought to be afraid of him, because the reality is that neither of the O'Gormans will practice as solicitors in Ireland from a date of Hegarty's choosing. Now isn't that is a daunting prospect for you lot 'Mr Webb'!
14th of Feb, 2008 Webb is a contradiction He insists he knows of and disapproves of multiple entries, yet that is what he does himself. It is only to an arrogant and stupid solicitor that this would come as second nature. Andy Bonar Golden
5th of Mar, 2008 Was it Judge Carnew... who said that you can use unlimited defense if someone enters your property with intent. On that basis you can pretty much do as you please to someone who tried to steal your house. Makes sense to me. Maybe 'D Webb' should have thought of this before he acted.
20th of Feb, 2008 Not funny So the carry-on of Lynn, O'Gorman, Byrne, etc is funny? I certainly don't think so. And then to try to ridicule their victims - to support criminals is to be a criminal oneself. To insult their victims is only the output of the sick, perverted and deranged. This is akin to protecting the perpetrators of the residential homes abuse. Same thing really, same types of people. Adam Corrigan. P.S. I have made previous comments on here about this particular firm, but I did not sign my name. I know what is going on here and I am not at all surprised as solicitors are accountable to nobody only their own filthy pockets.
25th of Feb, 2008 If your family was a victim of crime... Would you be laughing? Anyone sitting on the fence as regards crime in the current climate should be ashamed of themselves. The comments on here, clearly by the perpetrators of crime, does not warrant comment. All I say to VOIS and the web site is, keep up the good work so that crime gets stamped out of society. Is it that solicitors think that they can get away with it? Yours etc. Liam Allen, Co Cork
20th of Feb, 2008 Open secret It is an open secret what solicitors do, this guy, his partner in crime in Listowel, Lynn, Byrne, etc, etc. But what is going to be done?
20th of Feb, 2008 Approve of gangland activity Would those who give these guys 3 stars also stand over the gangland killers on our streets? All large scale crime is the same thing, only solicitors are thugs in custody of people's affairs. An ordinary criminal is not as bad for that reason, and also because they come from deprived backgrounds in most cases. Many solicitors are privileged by birth, and this is how they repay society. It should be the same law for everybody. Declan & Alice Monaghan, 'Kilbride', D3
5th of Mar, 2008 Reply to 'D Webb' being afraid Dear Anthony, Your thought process is perfectly correct. If you do as the evidence proves you did you have every right to be afraid. Colluding to steal people's homes is quite serious and we live in a democracy where it gets punished. Trying to cover up for someone who got caught doing it is equally culpable and there is not a sinner in the whole world who thinks that Hegarty hasn't every justification in giving you a bit of your own back. You well deserve it and as the man says, YOU DO THE CRIME YOU DO THE TIME.
13th of Feb, 2008 Webb 17th Nov & 8th Feb He talks of anonymous postings yet he then remains anonymous because he afraid. Such arrogance. Can victims be afraid? Amateurism confirms one thing, Webb = O'Gorman. Don't rise to it.
18th of Feb, 2008 Abuse of site & links to Pierse Fitzgibbon Everybody knows that O'Gorman is now on the run so he starts making sly comments about the people he tried to take down, all under false names that do not exist. The close links with Pierse Fitzgibbon have now also been established and I have seen verified documentation of this. I suppose the only saving grace is that the game is up and people will not trust them any more. It is a terrible legacy they have left their families, but I suppose they will also leave them the ill gotten gains. I would prefer my honour than to inherit the proceeds of crime. Alison & Martin King, Tralee, Co Kerry
13th of Feb, 2008 Reply to D Webb from B Hegarty Of course you are entitled to praise. That is the whole idea of a rating. It is not called 'slag off your solicitor'. It would be impossible for a firm not to have happy clients, and indeed bent solicitors have a number of extremely happy clients who beenfit from compromises to other clients. Are you one of these as repeating praise makes you suspect, moreover as you put up a shambles of an excuse for refusing to identify yourself. My evidence is that O'Gorman blatantly tried to cover up for criminal activities of a fellow solicitor and he refuses to answer my questions on the matter, and in the absence of which I can only conclude, e.g. he sat on an urgent file for almost 12 months, a matter he telephoned me about initially on a Saturday to 'take on the case'. A wolf in sheep's clothing. What is further objectionable is that you make the allegation that victims repeat themselves, of which I am not aware of any evidence, and you have not put forward any. There are no grudges, only people sick of being screwed and my gut tells me that you have an ulterior motive. If you are O'Gorman you have every reason to fear me, and I have told you already that I will never forgive you... never. This is not a threat, as I would not get caught breaking the law, but payback time will come, and you do the crime, you do the time. The criminal will pay. My view is that you are most likely O'Gorman and it is disingenuous of you to think people are so stupid as to fall for your rubbish. A King on behalf of Brendan Hegarty. BTW I have lots of professionals who have undertaken assignments for me over the years and I generally get a satisfactory service, O'Gorman and his accomplices being the exception.
20th of Feb, 2008 I am like D Webb I am also basing my comments on my dealings with this firm. Another firm had to correct my affairs and I am far from happy. Is Webb (i.e. O'Gorman) suggesting we have to tolerate him? God bless him, he will need it all. Hell hath no fury as anyone scorned by a solicitor!
4th of Jun, 2008 Martina Stack It is obvious to any person reading this blog that ONE person is writing this rubbish about this firm in Gorey. This guy comes across as a raving nutter and someone who is suffering from a psychiatric disorder. He rants on about other excellent solicitors Pierce and Fitzgibbon (I have used them also). It's him again ranting on about Patrick Enright in Kerry. This guy obviously has a grudge against any solicitor he's used (steer clear solicitors). I say stop boring us with the rantings of a madman, for all our sakes, get help man. (I'm sure you'll have some crazy... reply for me)
6th of Mar, 2008 Odd one out? I suppose O'Gorman claims he is a saint among what is a bad bunch and the evidence is in the papers every day to prove it.
16th of Feb, 2008 Afraid of 'ya' and your 32m O'Gorman's colleagues in Dublin screwed the State out of E32m in Health Board money, yet the judge did not strike them off because "there were no victims". Does he know something we don't? Is it that he does not pay his own taxes so he is not a victim. The judge also said that he wanted to uphold the good name of the profession. So the next time the Gardai catch a hooker they should let her off for the same reason. Look judge, you got it arseways: if you wanted to uphold the so called good name, you should have struck them off, just like this guy should also be dispensed with.
15th of Feb, 2008 Afraid of contributors All VOIS members have ever done is told things as they are and never have any solicitors denied the allegations. The only thing anyone has to fear is the truth and if that worries you then so be it. Anyone who hides behind false names, let alone bragging about withholding their address, is a wimp, just as is any solicitor who betrays a client. This firms falls right into that cetegory of solicitor. Luke Maguire, Shillelagh
15th of Feb, 2008 Ref 'D Webb' and tel numbers Contributors don't publish mobile numbers for obvious reasons. If you have an issue with a comment, then you either understand the issue or you don't. If you understand it then you are entitled to comment in agreement or disagreement. If you don't understand it then how can you claim it is not true? The truth is that solicitors do reply all the time, but use false names, and try to discredit their victim.
19th of Jul, 2008 S. Tiernan Don't go near Macartan if you require advice on land law, he hasn't a clue and nearly walked us into an irreversible situation. Lucky for us we knew more than the clown. We would have to question the real motive behind such ill advice, given that big business was at stake and who was Macartan really playing for?? The bottom line here is, don't hire a clown or someone who thinks they can get away with treating you like one. To have any hope of getting sound advice, do not deal with your local boys, they always have a vested interest.
19th of Feb, 2008 Being very realistic There are two sides, unhappy clients and solicitors. Happy clients often don't come onto this site, but solicitors may disguise themselves as happy clients to try to counterbalance what is fair comment from victims. To prove a point: not one happy client is prepared to reveal their identity. Regarding the allegations by this latter group concerning bogus identities of victims, many of these have signed their names, only for solicitors to endeavour to ridicule them, obviously with no success. Rather than do this, they should address the questions put to them by verifiable complainants. And if they can't do that then the public are entitled to act accordingly. That is what this site of for, to weed out corruption. As someone who was badly wronged by this firm I would do all I can to ensue that the same does not happen to other unsuspecting people going about their business. And if that means the O'Gorman gang closing their doors, then tell me when it happens and we will have a closing down party. Now isn't that a delightful prospect. Tady & Eamon O'Donnell and family, Co Galway
8th of Feb, 2008 D Webb I am amazed at the comments made by some people on this site. I am basing all my dealings on my own experiences with this firm. I think I am entitled to do so. I would also say that despite the negative comments and attacks by the same people again and again, O'Gormans are one of the biggest practices in the area. This can't be built on unhappy clients... and before you say it, I also don't believe he earned his money by dodgy deal after dodgy deal like some on this site claim. If he is as bad as some claim, I am lost for words and saddened that our legal system hasn't bought him to book. Until that happens I can only conclude that a lot of this is mad men with a grudge over some case in particular that went against them. Simple fact of the matter is Anthony has looked after me and my family over the years and will continue to do so for many years to come. I have continuly recommended him to friends and will continue to do so. I am sorry for the other people who have nothing better to do but give out and harass. And for the record I am no relation to O'Gormans, just a happy client like so many. Regards, D. Webb (sorry Brendan, I am not putting out my address like you, I have read your posts and I'd be afraid of ya to be honest)
18th of Feb, 2008 Who's laughing now? And who'll be laughing when word gets out and people move their files in droves. Webb, O'Gorman, et al can then laugh to their heart's content, as they will have shag all else to do.
15th of Feb, 2008 We are now lunatics So solicitors screw us to the floor and we are now lunatics? Well here is a bit of news for O'Gorman - up to now you were the lunatics that were running the asylum. How long will it be before it is independently run, and you are all behind vertical bars. And don't be expecting any tea and bun visits on a Sunday afternoon either. We will be watching Wexford playing hurling and Kerry playing football and yourself and Mr Pierse will have plenty to talk about to each other.
15th of Feb, 2008 'cliches and play on words' I think a contributory element might be the speak of VOIS members who are breaking new ground. So that puts that notion to bed. The underlying reason for all this is that O'Gorman got caught and is now hiding. I agree with you it is a great idea for a site and that the likes of O'Gorman should be dealt with in a most severe manner for the greater good of society.
12th of Feb, 2008 Laughing on this thread too! Clearly the vast majority of these posts are the handiwork of that lunatic posting on the top avoid rated solicitor thread. This is worse than I thought! Here was me thinking that he had only about 20 split personalities! If ya had put just that little bit more effort into not using the same old cliches and unamusing play on words ya might have got away with it ;) btw you might help me out and let me know how can I can find a job so that I can spend all my time ranting on the internet like yourself. Seriously though, great idea for a site. Shame about this nonsense.
20th of Feb, 2008 Funny? Do the fans of solicitors think the Lynn matter is funny? What about people that will lose their homes? Do you give a sh*t?
20th of Feb, 2008 Three star cranks That is who worries me. As far as I see people can write all they want in whatever dialect, dictionary or language once they are telling the truth, and all the better if it gets corrupt solicitors behind vertical bars.
20th of Feb, 2008 Hilarious cannot handle the truth So you go around all the threads criticising contributors. Why don't you make a positive contribution, that is if you can seee over the wall of elitism. DOES THE TRUTH BOTHER YOU THAT MUCH?
20th of Feb, 2008 No sympathy Nobody has any sympathy for criminals, and white collar crime where solicitors betray the public will be very severely punished no doubt in the fullness of time, please God. AK, Listowel
20th of Feb, 2008 Anon solicitor supporters I forgot to add that the only hidden party here are those who are faceless as well as spineless. O'Gorman refuses to challenge the allegations that I have put to him, all based on the facts. My file has even been examined by independent parties. One well placed observer could not believe that O'Gorman would be so stupid, and I have to add, neither did I, that is until his gang started making such shallow contributions on here. Empty vessels make the most noise and as one of themselves said, there is a lot of noise going on in there. I repeat my challenge to O'Gorman to account for himself and in the absence of which one can only conclude that he has nothing to say that will recover their position. Signed: Brendan Hegarty
20th of Feb, 2008 Thanks to this site Otherwise we would not know the truth. Now that it is exposed we as a society can act. The Internet is a very good thing in this respect. Is mise, Ballybunion Resident
21st of Feb, 2008 Solicitors' vocabulary Solicitors are the ones who speak the same lingo, e.g. "Sight of the document" = saw that piece of paper. "Admonished" = slap on the wrist by the Law Society. VOIS is similar and as it is strange territory we probably stick to the terminology that we hear at meetings.
15th of Feb, 2008 Complicit with Crime Complicity with crime is to be a criminal oneself. To be complicit with the misappropriation of a deceased's assets is GRAVE-ROBBING, or ROBBING AT FUNERALS if you like. This destroys families. I have examined files where they have some serious questions to answer and if they had answers they would explain, as the issues are the worst I have ever come across in all my life. It amounts to theft by an institution of the legal system and poses a serious and genuine threat to democracy, more so that anything I know of. Signed: Retired Professional, Ireland
12th of Mar, 2008 Another thing they have in common 'De Webb' There is compelling evidence that both have betrayed clients, and both also refuse to address the questions posed to them. Your statistical evidence is nonsensical and you are of course more than just a casual observer. If you weren't then what is your full name and address? Hegarty put his up at the outset and continues to do so, yet you refuse to so which tells its own story. What kind of an idiot are you, slagging him off when he signs his name, yet you don't sign yours. How could you be so stupid as to think anyone would accept that? You rubbish of fear and you are correct as anyone who is caught out abusing this site loses credibility and of course your ficticious identity shields you from that, although I have no doubt but that it could only be an O'Gorman. For sensible people out there, a meeting took place after a court case in Dublin and these files were examined and those present put their names to their account of what these files contained. For one, I can swear to God that this firm colluded with Pierse Fitzgibbon Solicitors by endeavoring to cover their tracks of a malicious and failed attempt to obstruct Hegarty's rightful title over his house at Lisselton. I have identified the elements removed and it has all been independently verified by a chartered accountant and a secondary teacher, now both retired. Facts are facts, and O'Gorman is caught red-handed, and the consequences will match the crime. And the crime is in my book very serious. Patrick Holden & Anita Kelly, Galway
3rd of Jul, 2008 PB I can only say from my dealings with him that Anthony O'Gorman is one of the rudest, most pompous and arrogant solicitors I have ever encountered and by his behaviour greatly contributes to the public perception of solicitors as being greedy and nasty.
22nd of Apr, 2008 D Webb as a practicing solicitor! No matter how you look at it, O'Gorman is guilty, and he should be struck off at a date of the choosing of a proper justice system. Hegarty should not have had to endure the consequences of what O'Gorman did. Will O'Gorman now take his share of the responsibility of a recent fire at the house which is next to a busy Filling Station? O'Gorman's misdemeanours were part of the cause, so while nobody believes he has WMDs, he could well have caused fatalities at Lisselton Cross. Would he like if we went up to Gorey and burnt down his house? It is not Hegarty I am sick of listening to, it is O'Gorman aka 'D Webb', slang term for 'the web'. Your insults are also noted and you will no doubt be reminded, and that will be at a date and time over which you will have little control. Anne & Maxie O'Dowd, Tralee, Co Kerry
25th of Feb, 2008 Solicitors laughing That about says it all. Lynn runs off with is it 200m and his wife shamelessly sues the public purse for not nailing the bastard. Two other stooges have 32m of HSE money that they did not pay tax on and the judge says it was a victimless crime so he let them off. I'll tell you who the victims are: people lying on hospital trolleys due to cutbacks, Ireland is a poor country when it comes to this.
22nd of Feb, 2008 Destroying families Not funny. JBH, Listowel
29th of Feb, 2008 Testing our sense of humour Let's see how we all feel when the truth is known. Meanwhile, just brace for a drip feed of scandal after scandal, day in day out for decades.
29th of Feb, 2008 Idiots or Solicitors Since the year dot solicitors have screwed the country, in good times and bad. Now we find that the story is worse than we imagiend, and we get such idiots on here castigating those who have lost as a result. The 3 stars come from either solicitors or idiots, as either they have not lost or they are so stupid they don't know they have lost. As fools are not that plentiful, I beg to believe that they are of course the O'Gormans now running for cover. A bit late lads, the place is flooded, there is no hiding place for amateur fools. If you were real pros you would do better. Sean, Bunclody
12th of Mar, 2008 Re D Webb While what you say is balderdash, Hegarty is entitled to make as many contributions as he likes on here, and people can read it or ignore it, just the same as they do for all other contributors. In my own judgement I think you are trying to shift the focus of attention from what O'Gorman did, or failed to do as the case may be. I wonder would he commit the same crime again? It just goes to show what solicitors will even do in collusion and the question I ask is, what warranted such a favour, i.e. one that if justice is done could spell the end of this family in law? This sounds familiar and goodness knows when the apple cart is upset where all those rotten apples won't end up. Look where the Ben Dunne event in Orlando ended up, well it is not ended yet is it? I also think that giving 3 stars to a criminal is sick, more so in the current climate of crime that is costing lives every day. Society is breaking down and here are solicitors at the root of it. Lest I be accused of hiding behind a false identity: Graham Smithers and Kylie McCarthy, Clontarf, D3
26th of Feb, 2008 Some of us deserve it? Lynn has done a runner with 180m Euro and a shower in Dublin concealed 32m Euro in HSE money, while patients die a painful death of cancer on trolleys in corridors due to neglect. And some people on here try to marginalise those who lost out. Well these people deserve it anyway, although the rest of us should not be forced to live in a morally bankrupt state. Kieron Munnelly, Nenagh, The Tipp
26th of Feb, 2008 Hall of Shame... The '3 star O'Gorman gang' do nothing if only to prove one thing, that they belong here in The Hall of Shame! The bottom line is that it is hardly the case that it is the first time O'Gorman lined his own pockets at the expense of a client, but it may be the first time that he got what he did not expect. He got caught, so you do the crime Anthony, you do the time, nothing personal! Alan P & Jane O'Kane, Killarney, Co Kerry
11th of Mar, 2008 Genuine Brendan Hegarty's issue with this firm is so blatantly obvious that "D Webb" has little else to be doing in criticising it. I suppose it is a reflection on the weak position 'D Webb' finds himself in. The day is near that such corruption will be reeled in and it is not a day too soon. Signed: Retired NT, Kerry
11th of Mar, 2008 'De Webb' The 'Hegarty file' in question concerns separate issues, and individual files. I know, I am a retired solicitor and I have forensically examined both, and I can assure any independent observer that both firms have some very serious issues that they will have to deal with at some stage. What is worse, Hegarty is not for buying and the combined 150,000 offer he declined evidences that. I don't think he needs it lads, and in any event he is a small bit stubborn too. As someone said, he is not the type of individual to get funny with.
7th of Mar, 2008 Shunned! Other solicitors are now shunning their 'colleagues' where they recognise that what they did was untoward. So keep up the good work VOIS and also to those who put so much work into the web site. As they say, 'hell ain't half full'. And isn't it great that crime is being taken off the streets!
11th of Mar, 2008 HSE and Banks, 300m Euro + 30m Euro = 330m Euro + O'Gormans ? Euro Solicitors have stolen 30m euro of taxpayers money and 300m of bank money, that we will all pay for. HOW MUCH MORE IS MISSING? I am told this case concerns 2m Euro, but how many 'small' cases are there like this?
11th of Mar, 2008 Answer the question Anthony What did you sit on the file for 12 months?
11th of Mar, 2008 'De Webb of deceit' Lynn and O'Gorman travel in the same car as all criminals, and it is only a perverted spineless hoor who would support them. If 'Anthony' has a defence then we would have heard it. He is a conniving shagger who should be put behind bars, and throw away the keys. Everybody can't be wrong. Having said that, he is entitled to a fair hearing, and so is Hegarty. How has Hegarty control over the date? Like all such matters, O'Gorman's time and day will come. Hopefully it won't be as bad as Lynn but who knows? BTW the dates are publication dates, not posted dates. Editor please comment! Now what bothers 'D Webb of deceit' so much that he is slagging off O'Gorman's victims? Ah...
11th of Mar, 2008 D Webb Just done some research on both Anthony's posts and the solicitor Enright in Kerry. One thing both have in common is the Hegarty file. Another thing they have in common is their postings, I searched the month of February and noticed that the vast majority of posts based on Hegarty's file come in clusters all on the same dates but supposedly from different people from all over the country. For example on Anthony's site on the 13th two posts for Anthony and 5 for Enright... on the 15th, 5 for Anthony and two for Enright... the 29th it's two all!, on the 12th of Feb. Enright takes the lead with 4 posts, but on the 14th Anthony gets 4 more... on the 13th Enright gets another 5 and Anthony 2 more.. And this was just Feb... I have had a look at other solicitors, not many I'd admit and none that I saw came in clusters like that, which I find odd, I mean it's hardly coincidence that on the exact same day people with addresses from all over Ireland log on to this site to bash the same two solictors on average of 3 posts or more with in a 24 hour period. I mean that's truely bizarre in my books. However I stand to be corrected if need be... I will look back at more months when I have time... Anyway I am not O'Gorman, just a happy client who is more amused at the silly posts going up on this site by so many 'different' people from all over the country. Just one more thing.. I noticed in a post on Anthony's site here... that he done a crime so he'll do the time blah blah... and that I am really O'Gorman and O'Gorman will no longer be a practicing solictor on a date of Mr.Hegarty's choosing... Just wondering, have ya set a date yet? or is it just going to go on and on and on... Another thing I am more amused about now than ever is the missing money from the HSE and the mentioning of Michael Lynn in Anthony's posts.. don't tell me he is responsible for all that too? Jesus he gets around, well just to make sure no other stupid stories get out there about Anthony, I can swear he was with me the day Kennedy was shot and he hasn't got any weapons of mass destruction in his home or office.
21st of Mar, 2008 unident I met this guy O'Gorman socially. As a solicitor, I wouldn't hire him in a fit. He fancies himself as a good 'judge of character'. Having judged him, be warned... he is a slimeball, and anyone with a scintilla of common sense will sense he is a slimeball of the highest order. He ripped off a friend a mine who wasn't a good judge of character. This person trusted him to his detriment. Anthony: if you offer a service, do it honestly. You are a predator of the weak and honest souls of this world.
21st of Mar, 2008 Jack Did a great job
18th of Mar, 2008 Small town boys If the small town boys were smarter about who they were going to take down they would not have got so tangled in the internet. Then again, if they were smarter they would not be small town boys.
10th of May, 2008 ex-employee Now I am not one, but someone who is freely admits that there is an intrinsic link between this firm and Robert Pierse, the alleged link in a number of the cases referred to here. So while it is no surprise, what is disturbing though is that it proves that self-regulation is indeed a dark alley. The proverbial dogs in the streets know that they also have some major common clients, which further cements the protective wall of white collar crime.
10th of May, 2008 'D Webb' This name is a pseudonym on the internet (aka 'web'), for those who wish to influence people's beliefs while concealing their identity. In this case though it is too close to home as it concerns one small firm of solicitors, so anyone who guesses who it is will not be getting a medal. What strikes me most though is the trend that the O'Gormans think that people are so shallow, i.e. falsifying the Hegarty man's files, and then spending half the day trying to cover it up under the false i.d. of 'D Webb'. All in all I don't think I would like to have this firm represent me, moreover if my case was not cast iron, and even then I would not use them as quite simply, they are not to be trusted. I have no doubt but that Hegarty is genuine, and making slanderous remarks about him does nothing if only to prove that his tormentors are suffering from CRS, Cornered Rat Syndrome. To be big-mouthed while being ignorant, misinformed and caught offside can only be justly rewarded. Nobody can ever trust O'Gormans again.
13th of Jun, 2008 EB Ignorant, arrogant and obnoxious. AVOID AVOID AVOID if you have any sense at all. This man is an absolute disgrace and I am reporting him to the Law Society for the manner in which my business has been conducted by him. I don't expect much satisfaction from the Law Society but at least it is a forum to which I can direct my grievance about this horrible horrible man who has the temerity to call himself a solicitor.
19th of Mar, 2008 Pat Ferris Found them to be fair.
14th of Apr, 2008 D Webb is talking nonsense! The dates are not necessarily the dates the contributor was on the site. What's more, there is no logic that states that a lot of comments at the same time is down to one person. In fact I think it would suggest it are lots of poeple, hence lots of comments. How about 'D Webb' giving their real name? Now would it be Anthony O'Gorman I wonder? I have examined Hegarty's files and it is admitted under oath by a solicitor that a Fire Cert was provided in return for the solicitor compromising his files. I have also seen two copies of his file - a copy he took before he submitted it to O'Gorman, and the original after. The only difference is that O'Gorman cleaned it of Pierse Fitzgibbon's dirty footprints. And what's more, O'Gorman did absolutely nothing with progressing Hegarty's title registration. And I also know of a major client that they both work on behalf of. Now who knows what else they are up to every day. They have been caught nicely here and they then behave like cornered rats. Alan Binchy, Donnybrook, D4
13th of May, 2008 McCarten Still holding a deposit belonging to me even though a land purchase fell through. I have now found that he was also representing another purchaser. Is this a conflict of interests or is he entitled to do so? If other stories on here are anything to go by maybe I am lucky that I am shot of him. How do I get my money back? Andrew Keane, Arklow
2nd of May, 2008 Re 'the web', aka 'D Webb' As an ex public official I am acutely aware of what has gone on here, and is still going on to a large extent. For 'Messers' O'Gorman to try to fabricate such nonsense that there is only one case here is Walter Mitty type stuff. This is systemic and Anthony O'Gorman is knee high in it with the Pierse outfit. Although you mock, it may well be that you do close your doors at a time of Hegarty's choosing, basically because he has evidence that will also have you guys locked up pretty quickly. Of course you might be like other criminals and run your business from prison. Then again mobiles have been banned since.
12th of Jun, 2008 'D Webb' comments He calls Hegarty a 'nutter', this is the 'nutter' who refused to co-operate in a fabricated and malicious insurance claim that was orchestrated by this McMafia gang of perverts who kept Curtin on the streets. I suppose 'D Webb' would likewise call the thousands of Curtin's victims nutters also? We all know who the nutters are alright, and they are not the victims. Of course 'D Webb' is O'Gorman... haved no doubt, and what a nutter he is if he thinks we don't recognise that. Alfon Carling, Limerick
26th of May, 2008 He gets around alright 'D Webb' aka Anthony O'Gorman tries to amuse and confuse us by implying that Brendan Hegarty is orchestrating a campaign. Anthony knows well that my family issues that he mishandled are my affair and nothing to do with this Hegarty fella, whoever he is. Having said that, what he alleges about O'Gorman would be entirely consistent with O'Gorman's track record. And yes, there is a major link between O'Gorman and Pierse Fitzgibbon of Listowel. Thanks to this site for providing us with a means of exposing these legal perverts. Signed: Dermot & Kate Bolger
31st of May, 2008 Practicing Solicitor While I do not pretend to know the full facts of Mr Brendan Hegarty's affairs with this firm, what is blatantly obvious is that Anthony O'Gorman covered Robert Pierse's tracks. Having examined the file with a view to representing Brendan, I found that I was conflicted from acting for him. Our firm and its international association have represented him in numerous commercial advisory and well as 'pre-contentious' issues and I can testify that he is as honourable a gentleman as I have ever met. I am ashamed that O'Gormans would resort to slander, having apparently being caught red handed. They have made comments on here yet they refuse to answer the specific questions Brendan put to them, e.g. what did they do with his file for 12 months? The answer is nothing, apart from trying to 'sanitise' it. Not alone is he dishonest but personally I think he is such an idiot as to enter the fray of two Kerrymen, both formidable for contrasting reasons. To do so and try to fend off someone of Brendan's calibre makes the O'Gormans look like pure mugs, and I don't say that lightly I assure you. It is now time that non-corrupt solicitors abandoned the likes of this firm and their partners in crime. Otherwise they will drag us all under with them. I know that my insurance is affected by their carry-on as the insurers know the risks here and where it might all end up. I personally apologise to victims of scams like this one. HGF, Ireland
21st of Jun, 2008 What O'Gorman now tells his clients A colleague of mine went to him for advice and the first thing, he told them of "these malicious rumours". If they are malicious, Anthony, give us your version of the allegations, in the absence of which we can only believe them. You are a solicitor after all and in addition to being well able to defend yourself, you know full well that it is only the guilty who remain silent. Please also refrain from hiding behind 'D Webb'. Keep it up you people out there. It is working. Heather Murphy, Cork
3rd of Sep, 2008 Anthony's 3 star 'contributors' See the list below of the 3 star contributors here in July 2006. Now where have they gone? Just how many names does Anthony O'Gorman have? Impersonation it is by a bent solicitor. Some nutters all right. B. O'Donoghue, Clare Redmond, Tom O'Brien, Ciara Murphy, Siobhan O'Sullivan, Jim Doyle, Suzanne O'Donnell, Emma O'Sullivan, Finbar O'Reilly, Mark Boyle, Catriona Reynolds, Alison O'Shaughnessy
29th of Sep, 2008 Re 'D Webb' 11th May O'Gorman will cease practicing of his own volition, nobody else's. Covering up for Robert Pierse in such a criminal matter is interfering in a crime scene. BUILD THAT NEW JAIL QUICK. WE HAVE LOADS OF CUSTOMERS.
30th of Oct, 2008 Re 'D Webb' You miss the point completely 'Webb'. Is it that you are a dazzled rabbit? Little did O'Gorman and his associates think when they tried it on in this case that it would end up on a web site. They might be a bit more careful in future. As to being struck off, we live in hope.
20th of Dec, 2008 Alistair Thomas Your Bernard Black is also supporting Tarrant & Tarrant, an Arklow based father and son operated legal practice with a large client base in North Wexford. Visit their site and read about Andrew Tarrant, Wicklow's cannibal solicitor. If Bernard Black is really Anthony F O'Gorman then that explains his support for the Tarrants? I suppose they are all the one sow's pigs, as the saying goes. I am also posting on the Tarrant site today so if you do visit be sure and read my post.
12th of Jan, 2009 Only No 4 If there are 3 firms rated worse than Mr O'Gorman and his firm is anything to go by, then I have the greatest sympathy for their clients. He even tried to defame Mr Hegarty, who I have met through VOIS. He is an intelligent man who knows the full picture here and of course the O'Gorman mob are aware of this, hence their fear that he will prevail. If Hegarty's determination is anything to go by, then in another instance I would say God help his tormentors. In this instance though they deserve what they get and in which case "thank you Brendan". This is basic civil rights stuff here. Liars in the professions gave us the credit crisis and will we do anything about it?
27th of Jan, 2009 How many contributors there are? O'Gorman insisted that it was someone who was dyslexic that was making all these comments. Now that was a long time ago. He then slanders them with other rude terms. I agree. He is a cornered rat. Not alone that but to stick his oar in between two Kerrymen. Who and what do you think you are? Methinks you are "a dead man walking" as they say if that is how you behave and then believe you can get away with it. You are a fool as well as everything else.
27th of Jan, 2009 Feedback from judiciary I discussed Hegarty's case with a judge who is a personal friend of my family. He relayed that it had been raised in conversation within the judiciary, in what context I am not sure. But what I am sure of is that he and his colleagues do not appear to have any doubt about what went on here. There was an air of dismay if not despair in his composure when I gave him further and corroborated facts about the matter. At least someone still has their senses. I am also posting this on the thread on this site of the other solicitor who teamed up with O'Gorman.
27th of Jan, 2009 Reply to 'The rat is cornered' And so say all of us. Now let's hear your explanation Anthony? You can even write to Hegarty privately and he will tell us the outcome. If you do not address that, then it will only confirm what people think, and that is that you are engaging in the purest form of white collar crime.
20th of Jan, 2009 Stupid and amateur Everybody in the profession knows what Anthony did here, and we are not proud of him. I for one don't want self-regulation if this is what it leads to. It is a slight on democracy. Signed: AP BCL
17th of Jan, 2009 The rat is cornered All O'Gorman has to do is to tell us what Hegarty's instructions were and what he did. As O'Gorman refuses, I can tell you that the instructions were to complete a conveyance of a house at Lisselton to Brendan's name. O'Gorman did not do it as he is up Robert Pierse's arsehole, and he is not alone as we know. I suppose the story could be worse, he could be up someone else's arsehole? It's a rat trap O'Gorman, and you've been caught. Now take your just reward.
18th of Jan, 2009 No Tarquin in Bunclody That is Anthony or is it Macarten. A slang name in the firm and they now use it on here, just like 'D Webb'.
27th of Jan, 2009 New High Court President I believe he is aware of these matters. O'Gorman whould not have right of audience in court, i.e. be struck off, and out.
1st of Feb, 2009 Re 'D Webb' and UNqualified solicitors O'Gorman may not have shot JFK, but he lost people their jobs at Waterford Glass, Dell, etc. The rip-off monopoly that the legal profession is = JOBS to Eastern Europe, OUR JOBS. And Macarten is not even qualified. And Anthony is so meek he refuses to sign his name to his comments. I as well know his lingo. Local
1st of Feb, 2009 Macarten not qualified He is not a qualified solicitor. Then again that is not a crime, it is how this practice bahaves. Brian Cowen, what are you doing? Who do you care about, Irish people or filthy solicitors? Step up to the plate or bow out.
6th of Feb, 2009 Returned favour Goodness knows what O'Gorman did that he had to pull Pierse out of this hole. But didn't now end up in the hole with Pierse. Any right minded judge will not believe one word from any of these firms, so the best consumers can do is to avoid any firm in the Hall of Shame, and these two firms are probably the worst in the whole bloody country.
14th of Feb, 2009 Went between two formidable Kerrymen Talk of waking into a sandwich. O'Gorman is good at this. We lost a house purhase because he was trying to get us to take a 'non-competitive' mortgage with his colleague mortgage broker in town. We are just looking forward to the sandwich being gobbled up. This firm should not be allowed to practice. Dermot & Anna AKA Bunclody Tiger
29th of Apr, 2009 Reply to KC How can a man who engages in Crime be defamed. You are confused about what transparency is. i.e. FYI it exposes people like you and Anthony the rat.
24th of Mar, 2009 'The Field' One would have thought that all solicitors would have read the book and/or seen the movie. Now I know Mr Gorman might be crook, but is he a complete lunatic also? To get between a Listowel man and a square foot of his share of the planet is one thing. But jazus to get between two Listowel men fighting over it and take sides with the loser. All I say is God bless you Mr Gorman. Maybe you had a dream that you were Matthew Broderick, and maybe the dream will come true. You deserve it, well and truly.
9th of Mar, 2009 Teresa Tolley My experience of dealing with Anthony O'Gorman has left a very bad taste in my mouth regarding Irish law - what happens in this country would not be allowed to happen in England. I am thoroughly disgusted with the way this man has behaved but I blame the people at the top because if they were doing their job properly they would monitor the way in which solicitors act and not allow them to continue practicing if it was proved that a solicitor is perverting the course of justice. I feel sorry for everyone that has been badly treated by this man but I am afraid you have all been let down by the Irish legal system. All I can say is advise your children to study law because it must be a get rich quick business known as legal fraud.
9th of Apr, 2010 amy who is the man you refer to? i am a woman and I am out of pocket by 120k as a result of this firm's negligence. should i stay silent because of people like you who try to say he has only taken done one client? Mike Gleeson was not his only victim, he has taken done people in many other counties. are you not ashamed of your faceless self, are you not Pussy O'Gorman?
30th of Mar, 2009 D Webb, etc O'Gorman may have no shot Kennedy, but it is his fellow Cronies that gave us the recession. eg Lynn running off wiot 80m euro, etc. That is far more serious to me and my family at this stage.
12th of May, 2009 i cant spell?? eh id take a look at your own spelling first so i wud!! Macarten not qualified??? welthats funny aint it even though he has his practising certificate for the past 35 years... id say you dont half feel stupid now!!!
1st of Apr, 2009 The Mob The O'Gormans think they are invincible to the extent that they trade favours with one of the country's most noted white collar criminals, i.e. Home Buy Home Sell (aka Home Rob). Nodody is invincible and if O'Gorman thinks he is then good luck to him. I just can't wait for his day to come. Meanwhile he will have no luck, just like his fellow mobsters. And yes, i am from Gorey, Co Wexford Anthony.
2nd of Apr, 2009 Disgrace If O'Gorman wants to make slanderous comments let him start with his colleague Mr Pierse's clan. You don't have to look too far to see all the cover ups. Isn't that perverting the course of criminal justice? Solicitiors are obliged to report it, yet the protect their own. Very Worried
9th of Apr, 2009 KC I came across this site by accident and I was appalled to see such a defamation of character against Anthony O'Gorman and members of his team. I am surprised that such a site as this is allowed to be viewed worldwide by the click of a mouse. I would be of the opinion that Anthony who I have known in his capacity as my solicitor for the last 9 years is hardworking, reliable, honest and extremely capable, and puts a lot of time and effort into the client that he is working for and at no time would he have overcharged or given a false assessment into how a case was progressing.
6th of Apr, 2009 Macarten not qualified??? What the hell like, you obviously don't know this practise as well as your letting on! Get the facts right, then you can start criticising!
2nd of May, 2009 Reply to KC, and Judiciary Nobody suggested that this firm does not have happy clients and if you are one of them then good for you. I am concerned however that you claim that you know for fact that the hundreds of comments on here are all wrong, although you have no knowledge of the people they have defrauded. Eg me for example. A sure sign of guilt is where O´Gorman tries to slander his victims,and that is surelky the whimper of a dying rat. I think that any decent judge of our courts reading these comments would ascertain quiet easily who is wrong and who is right. And if O´Gorman is seen to lack credibility then God help his clients. And I think it is fitting that he is exposed. The thing is that God only knows the true depths of his ill concieved of dealings.
2nd of May, 2009 Slanderour remarks If O´Gorman wants to make such remarks, he would have richpickings if he looked at the connections of his friend Pierse in Listowel, and Curtin is only one of a few that VOIS is aware of. If O´Gorman refuses to withdraw his remarks and set the record straight, then corroborated name and shame comment will be presented to this site.
2nd of May, 2009 ´The baby´ Isn´t it great that young O´Gorman thinks that he can follow daddy´s foot steps. New world,dying trade. Welcome to the age of transaprency. Thanks to the hosters of this site, you will now be joining your bed fellows in The Joy. And a joy it will be for all. Local Observer
9th of May, 2009 Brendan Hegarty, VOIS Associate This firm is complicit with the obstruction of the rightful title registration of a house I own in Kerry. For what it is worth, I wouild appeal to O'Gorman, the man who told me he feels sorry for victims of his fellow Law Society members, to refrain from interfering in my affairs. If you don't do it because you shoud do it, will you do it so that the people of North kerry can be spared the eye-sore that you have helped create. Tourism is on it's knees and we can do without such blemishes on the landscape.
21st of May, 2009 Stay out of Kerry O'Gorman If you have to be a burden on society, can you restrict your geographic reach to within Gorey. Our tourist industry in Kerry does not need you and Robert Pierse screwing us more than you already have.
24th of May, 2009 Treating customers with contempt Treating customers with contempt will drive them shopping in neighbouring towns It is suicidal to treat customers with contempt, moreover in the current climate. And all traders in the locality lose out. not just the offending business. I think the towns people should unite and bear pressure on these firms to answer the basic questions put to them. Otherwise shoppers will draw their own conclusions, and spend their money elesewhere, and rightfully so if they are treated with contempt. Retailers are suffering enough already, without actually sending the public elsewhere. It is only the few cronies after all that are causing everyone trouble, and it is the same in every town. I also believe that the Industrial School revelations, and what the same lack of accountability gave rise to, is fresh in people’s minds. So we should act before the situation deteriorates even further. Maybe it is that solicitors don't have to worry as they made so much in the boom, but the rest of us have still to make a living, and competition is increasing all the time, unlike solicitors who have a monopoly.
24th of May, 2009 'Take your tablets' That is what Macarten recommends to victims of abuse. What goes around comes around Macarten, and hopefully you and daddy will get your just rewards in time, and not a minute too soon. Alan & Bernie Jeffries Gorey
27th of May, 2009 Would be a Dead man walking in any other country Just goes to show what they know they can escape with. Did they envisage that this web site would expose them. He escaped, but has he gotten away one wonders?
1st of Jun, 2009 Kathleen Coyle I also came by this site ‘by accident’, and I am appauled that anyone would give this brigade anything other than an AVOID rating. He is trouble from the word go. I am not surprised at what he did in Kerry, he tried the same in Thurles and a few years earlier in Gorey itself.
9th of Jun, 2009 'DEAD MAN WALKING' for sure! So Robert Pierse gets caught screwing a client down in Kerry, and Macarten O'Gorman "helps out". Are you for real, young man? How long are you planning on being with us? Macarten is a garsoon in name and in nature, and will always be one if he is lucky. Signed: Someone who knows these things, i.e. I am not an idiot like the garsoon!
12th of Jun, 2009 The ways around a Kerryman Did nobody ever tell the O'Gormans that there are lots of ways around a Kerryman, and that one of them was not to go straight through him. Some people insist on learning the hard way. The poor O'Gormans spreading their wings are now finally exposed on the internet for what they have been up to all their lives. A very big and sincere thank you to this web site. AM, Co Wexford

26th of Jul, 2009 Zimbabwe Democracy and justice is for everybody and not just for FG when it suits them, or doesn’t as the case may be. If Anthony O'Gorman Robert Pierse or any of their clan have engaged in the crime that they stand accused of here then if our system is worthy as a democracy it should automatically bring them before the courts. If it doesn’t then ..well hello to our equals in Zimbabwe. Only we are worse because we are priovelaged in the wider scheme of things, and it is our privelaged among us who have got us to where we are. i.e. the underbelly of modern democracy.
26th of Jul, 2009 Turnning our towns into druglands Solicitors sharing information is dangerous and you only have recall what the State Solicitor for Limerick told Sean O'Rourke on RTE a few Sunday nights ago. This is what has Limerick where it is, and the rest of our towns are not far behind. O'Gorman clearly shared info with Robert Pierse in this instance, and for that they should be scurged. Signed Concerned Arklow Citizen
23rd of Jul, 2009 Clear Cut Cases I never met O'Gorman but what did he owe Pierse to do what he did? He is now on death row and even The Law Society will have no choice. Pierse and Hegarty are like two Rothwielers and then this Church mouse jumps in between them. This is the most pathetic case I ever even dreamt of. AS I SID, WHAT DID HE OWE PIERSE FOR THAT PIERSE COULD EXTRACT SUCH A LEVEL OF FAVOUR? IT JUST EVIDENCES THE LEVEL OF WHAT IS GOING ON, AND WHAT HAS GONE ON FOR CENTURIES. LIKE THE CELTIC TIGER, NOBODY SHOUTED STOP. WHEN WE RUN OUT OF FUEL WE WILL ALL STOP. SOME LESSONS ARE ONLY LEARNED THE HARD WAY. 'DOREY' from GOREY
16th of Jul, 2009 Judges see through this RE 'D WEBB' - Anthony O'Gorman tampered with evidence and that is a very serious criminal offence. The facts speak for themselves and he (i.e. probably you) have had every opportunity to account for yourself. That you refuse, you are fooling only your good self. You tampered with evidence to protect Robber-t Pierse. That is aiding and abetting a criminal. Fact. Fact. Fact. Fact you have been drawn on and refuse to address. You and your sidekick got your lies mixed up. Pretending to be sympathetic towards victims, while then pissing on them is something that will be duly considered in your standing within the courts system, and indeed what exists of the credible element of the wider legal profession. Signed: Alan, Bunclody, yes that is my town!
15th of Jul, 2009 The Field Did Robert Pierse or O’Gorman not see The Field? Looking at it last night on the box you could not help but think that they must be shaking in their boots. To try to dispossess a man of his piece of the planet, regardless as to how small, and to get caught. I’d say this guy has more to fear somehow, although neither of them can be safe. What man in his right mind would try it? I suppsoe it just shows what they get away with. It was hardly the first time for two ould men. People do flip and do silly things, premedititated or not. In aother time they would have gotten away with it, but thanks to the Internet and this site, their day is up. And that's a God blessing.
27th of Jul, 2009 A bent fool Joining another one in Listowel. I suppose the silver lining is that they are nearing the end of their tether. What a legacy to bestow on their communities. Likewise every silver lining has a cloud and the damage they have done is immeasureable. Where is our national leadership? IS THIS WHAT OUR JUSTICE SYSTEM AMOUNTS TO, LICENSED CRIME?
6th of Jul, 2009 mind your own business. This guy is no good scum, should be locked up for life. He manipulates people for all they have and only tells you what you want to hear!!!He only wants the money, looks out for number 1...does not care about client involved...Thanks for this website finally shown for what he is!!!!Gorey, Co. Wexford
5th of Nov, 2009 OECD They now agree we are being ripped off by theses cum bags. Just like the corruption, we told you so but who listened, and who didn’t? Will you listen now? It is your own head on the block.
21st of Aug, 2009 Mug mug mug I think he will be high tailing back to Gorey when the Kerry gang have dispenesed with him. He has done this for many years, and it is only the internet and this site that has finally exposed him. Now thankfully 'Anthony F O'Gorman & Co' will be no more and young Macarten can draw the dole, hopefully in a far off land. Siberia sounds good, take daddy with you. Hell ain't half hot enough for you.
21st of Aug, 2009 Scums of the earth Birds of a feather, the scum of Wexford in cohorts with the biggest scum bag of Listowel, aka Robert Pierse. Any files held by these firms will be scrutinisd.
26th of Aug, 2009 NOT SURPRISED NOT ALONE IS HE BENT BUT ALSO STUPID. I CAN SEE HIM DOING THAT IN KERRY, CRAZY AS IT IS. I ALSO AGREE WITH THE ASSERTION THAT HE MUSTY HAVE OWED ROBERT PIERSE BIG, IF HE WAS TO DO SOMETHING OF THAT MAGNITUDE. AND THIS COMING FROM A PROFESSION THAT IS FUNDAMENTAL TO MAINTAINING THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RIGHT AND WRONG IN SOCIETY. OUR DEMOCRACY IS GONE, LONG GONE.
26th of Aug, 2009 MACARTEN'S EXAMS RU SAYING HE GOT THEM EVENTUALLY. I KNOW HE WAS STRUGGLING AND DID REPEATS. HARDLY THE BRAINS OF THE COUNTY? TRYING TO FOLLOW DADDY'S 'CLASS ACT' IS PROVING A CHALLENGE I DARE SAY.
1st of Sep, 2009 Undertakings = Undertaker NAMA ‘Solicitiors undertakings’ = call the Undertaker for Ireland! NAMA depends on ‘Solicitiors undertakings’. Can you imagine what ‘an undertaking’ from this shower is worth? Call the Undertaker for Ireland, don’t bother with the IMF.
2nd of Sep, 2009 No credibility left Macarten refers to Hegartyy’s file. Macarten, it is the same file that wee Emmet collected from Hegarty’s house in Letterkenny one Subnday afternoon, the one you and daddy doctored, and returned 12 months later. Other than doctoring the file, tell us what you did with it? You were supposed to rectify the defective conveyance that your fried Robert Pierse tried to channel away from Brendan. It is pity that daddy and your little secteretary also got theior tal;es kixed up as to the relative of yours that died, that your daddy claimed prevented him from rectifying the matter. I sincerely hope all you O’Gormans burn in hell for such a crime. It would be a start! Meanwhile that you are allowed to practioce is a damnming indictment of The Law Society and our entire legal system, and all those who work in it. Shame on you all.
8th of Sep, 2009 D Webb Sorry , just minor correction,Marcarten is actually Anthonys older brother, just think if your giving out about Anthony's firm I think it'll look better if you know the facts. Your rants about calling Mac his younger brother shows that you probably haven't really dealt with the firm in any shape or form and makes your argument look a bit silly.
11th of Sep, 2009 very professional firm well sorry to knock you all back down to earth but macarten has passed his exams foe the last 23 years!!! Anthony's son is NOT Macarten, get all your stories in order b4 ya make fools of your selves... my opinion is that it is a great solicitors, the staff are pleasant and always deal with queries no priblem. brillant.
29th of Sep, 2009 Reply to 'very professional firm' I am glad you found them so, and good luck to you. I have also had great services over the years from some firms. Not all the bunch are crooks. Now for future reference, will you ask them why they travelled all the way to Donegal to collect a file that they ‘sanitised’ to cover up for criminal activity on the part of Pierse Fitzgibbon Solicitors, Listowel? Why did Anthony tell me of his great sympathy for victims of solicitors? And Anthony and his receptionist got their ‘lie lines’ mixed up about ‘a bereavment.’ And I could go on. There you go Anthony, put up or shut up. Sue me man, I’ll put it in wrioting where ever you like, I don’t have to hide behind anything, unlike you and your fellow spineless (FAILED) thief. Signed Brendan Hegarty PS Anthony, if you had the opportunity again, would you have tried to dupe me? I own you big time here, a debt you will be repaid with penal interest!
15th of Sep, 2009 Not surprise either To see Macarten on here too. No need to make will either, he took it is bred into them. Like father like son. They are well met with their partner in crime down in Listowel. He is another bocko. He abused the system to put the Curtin guy on the streets when any solicitior of decency would not even take on the case. His mates then tortured an ex-convict of lesser crime down in Ballybunion, and the state had to make a payout of 170,000 EUROS. These were all senior FG party people, all the same gang as on here. No other party ever did this did they? If that is a sign of what Enda Kenny is like, where are we headed at all? Not alone is he slow, but now the evidence is that he is a crooked old man. THIS IS MOST SERIOUS.
29th of Sep, 2009 B O'Donoghue Is ther no site moderators attached to this website who can monitor what is being posted about these solicitors. These people are trying to run a business and provide a service to the clients that choose to use them. It is blaringly obvious that the slanderous comments are all being made by one very unwell person with alot of time on his hands.
3rd of Oct, 2009 PEOPLE NOW HAVE SOME WHERE TO GO Over 5,000 people attempted to log on to this site, causing it to crash after Ken Murphy concluded a live interview with RTE's 'Today' programme with Pat Kenny. Say no more!
7th of Oct, 2009 Injury claims If a non-solicitor committed these crimes they would be sued for millions by solicitors.
4th of Jun, 2010 *** Absolute robbing crook.. the 2 of them, as thick as pigshit
14th of Oct, 2009 Premeditated as opposed to on the spur of momenet In punishment terms white collar crime is far more serious, and even more so when widespread collusion exists, as it clearly does here. This is the first instance of institutional crime in the state to be exposed on the Internet. It is such a pity the other and more serious abuses were not identified sooner. Look at all the suffering that would have been avoided. Look at all the perpetrators who would no longer have walked the streets, inflicting further danger on society and the vulnerable. There should be no mercy for the culprits, and it is not as if wider society does not know it is going on. Do we care though? Is that what we have becomne, that we still patronise these with our custom? Money is what they are after, and depriving them of it is nothing if not patriotic. It is shameful on anyone to have anything to do with a bent solicitor, and it is incumbent on each and every sensible person to do all in their power to bring these people to justice. Firms like this one with the highest ratings in the country as the worst offenders should have their doors closed. Signed Annon SRN Co Kerry
14th of Oct, 2009 Re 'B O'Donoghue' Taking each of your points in turn: There is a moderator, but maybe it is not moderated to 'your satisfaction', which is an entirely different thing altogether. I am happy with the moderator, all things considered. O'Gorman's are running a business, and providing a service, but one questions if they are running an ethical business and what kind of a service they provide to different clients, i.e. pet clients versus the general public. Can you tell us how it is obvious that it is only a few idle minded people who have some form of vendetta against O'Gorman, that make contributions on here. I take grave exception your knowing these people are also 'unwell'. That is what all the other perpetrators of crimes against people said of their victims, so I think it is sfe to assume you are one of them. I would also assert that the validity of your comment is poor, and contrived, twisted, just like I bet you are yourself. And if you are an O'Gorman and as I believe you are, you will have a lot more time on your hands in the fuullness of time, when you get put behind vertical bars. Now if you were straight, you would give youur name and address. Patrick & Angela Kinsella Newcastlewest Co Limerick
14th of Oct, 2009 CONCERNED PARENTS Reply to ‘B O'Donoghue, ’aka’ Anthony O’Gorman I bet you are the type who said ‘let he who is perfect throw the first stone’, when Curtin and the child abusers were exposed. And yes of course, all O’Gorman victims are wrong, and the perpetrators are saints who can do no wrong. WELL AT LEAST ANTHONY YOU ARE CONSISTENT -YOU ARE A BEDFELLOW OF ROBERT PIERSE WHO PUT CURTIN AT LARGE AS A DANGER TO OUR CHILDREN. You too have your victims, and you say they are wrong. We are concerned parents and I would say that we speak on behalf of all concerned parents in the country. CONCERNED PARENTS TRALEE CO KERRY
14th of Oct, 2009 ‘B O’DONOGHUE’ IS FROM GOREY SOUNDS LIKE A SOLICITOR FROM GOREY. US KERRY PEOPLE WOULD NOT TALK LIKE THAT. THEN AGAIN O’GORMAN IS IGNORANT OF KERRY, BUT HE LOOKS LIKE AN EDUCTAION IS ON THE WAY TO HIM. ANNE FFRENCH & KEN O’DONNELL LIMERICK
15th of Oct, 2009 Donoghue’s nonsense The only criticism I have of the moderator is that Donohue’s commenst are clearly from a perpetrator of crime, not a victim like the general contributor. Who is Donoghue if he is not a victim? I think he is really O’Gorman. Kay Somers Athea Co Limerick
15th of Oct, 2009 Idlers I am not am idler, in fact I am a busy working mother, and I have been compromised by Anthony O’Gorman, like a lot of others. I have gotten to know 7 other people in The South East through this site who suffered the same plight with this firm, and I also believe he has a lot of victims throughout Ireland. Marian Kingston Bristol UK
15th of Oct, 2009 Some Service alright Like a famous politician, O’Gorman did some service alright, we know that’. Some service in every sense of the word.
15th of Oct, 2009 Donoghue is the idler You see Donoghue is really O’Gorman, and now that he has no more work because people have copped onto his shennagins, he has plenty of idle time. The onkly thing I would say is that he has to try harder as ‘Dionoghue’ was a very poor attemopt, just like his other scheming trickery against his clients.
15th of Oct, 2009 Contact the Judiciary I wrote to the judiciary and explained my situation and it was acknowledged. If other victims did the same, and as the Judiciary are entitled to know who they are dealing with, then the likes of the O’Gormans would be seen by all in their proper light.
15th of Oct, 2009 A wee Question for Anthony O’Gorman, aka ‘B O’Donoghue’ A Mr Hegarty I met at a victims’ meeting detailed a case where by you undertook to perfect a conveyace, only to sit on it for 12 months, and then return it, ‘sanitised’ so that Roberty Pierses’s attempts to channel the property to someone else were disguised. SO RATHER THAN TALKING AROUND THE SUBJECT, PLEASE ADDRESS THIS STRAIGHT FORWARD ISSUE, AS OTHER SOLICITORS HAVE DONE ON HERE. OF COURSE IF YOU DID COLLUDE IN CRIMINAL ACTIVITY THEN WE DO NOT EXPECT A REPLY, SO STOP MAKING FALSE CONTRIBUTIONS. MR DAVID MORGAN DUBLIN 7
15th of Oct, 2009 PORTRAYS A POOR IMAGE OF ARKLOW Ialso think it is bad for business as shoppers tend to tar all of us with the same brush. I believe the allegations on here, and nobody would go to all this trouble unless they believe they were wronged. Of 10,000 solicitirs in Ireland, why would they pick on this firm? ANON ARKLOW TRADER
5th of Nov, 2009 Brian O'Donoghue, Tralee & Limerick I wish to point out that the 'B O'Donoghue' is not me, and that I fully support the objectives of this site. This name has been inadvertently used by solicitors in other forum to discredit their victims and which confirms if need be what they are up to. As a professional person myself I would recommend that people avoid solicitors with AVOID ratings, because what is going on is beneath contempt. Can you imagine a solicitor with no credibility like the O’Gormans trying to convince a judge? Choose a respected and credible solicitor and let the likes of the O’Gormans go to hell, where they belong in the first place anyway. To me the nub of the issue is that the allegations remain unanswered, thus O’Gorman & Co are nobs! Brian & Maedbh
18th of Oct, 2009 It’s Allergan or Solicitors monopoly, can’t have both And we don’t. It adds insult to injury for O’Gorman to be disgracing Wicklow by engaging in crime at a time when the image of the town and county is of such economic importance for our survival. How many more jobs have to be lost before somebody addresses this root cause? O'Gorman then insults us by putting comments on here under false names, such as B Donoghue, when everyone knows it is him. He thinks we are stupid, just like he took the Kerry guy for a fool. You would think he would have learned his lesson. We should boycott this firm and this site is a God send. I hope this site spelles the end of him and his associates. Anne & Jason Byrne Wicklow
18th of Oct, 2009 Imagine a network of Crime between Gorey to Listowel Would you ever have thought it? Hell is hot, and it ain’t half full. Is there any justice in Ireland when they are allowed to use political connections to cover up what they are at.
20th of Oct, 2009 Not that bad No angel but would not do what is alleged. That would be conflict of interest and would result in striking off from roll of solicitors at The Law Society in Dublin. We have worse than him here. Kevin Costigan Listowel Co Kerry
22nd of Nov, 2009 RIP OFFS OVERCHARGING = ALLERGAN JOB LOSSES HOW CAN WE COMPETE GLOBALLY AS A NATION WITH IMPOSTERS L;IKE THESE IN SOCIETY. WHERE IS THE POLITICAL LEADERSHIP TO DEAL WITH THEM? TO BE HONEST, I THINK IT IS UP THEIR ARSES.
2nd of Nov, 2009 O’Gorman wishes to be Ballydonoghued! Careful what you wish for Anthony. I recommend people AVOID unless you are short of trouble.
12th of Nov, 2009 Culture of ‘no consequences’ That is why they try this on. This will cost them though as there is already an over supply of solicitors and the younger generation will not patrtonise these firms with their business. Their day is gone.
5th of Nov, 2009 NO RESPECT IT IS HARD ENOUGH ON PEOPLE TO SURVIVE TODAY. IN OBSTRUCTING HEGARTY IS REGISTERING HIS TITLE ROBERT PIERSE AND ANTHONY O’GORMAN ARE BEHAVING IN SUCH AN UNCHRISTIAN MANNER THAT BEGGARS BELIEF. WE ALL KNOW THEY ONLY DO SO AS BRENDAN CAUGHT THEM AND HE IS NOT A MAN FOR LETTING THESE SPINELESS COWARDS OFF. HAVING SAID THAT, HE DID OFFER THEM A GET OUT, ON CONDITION THAT THEY REINSTATED HIS POSITION. COMPARE THAT TO THE NOTORIOUS CLAIM SCAMS PIERSE HAS ORCHESTRATED ALL THESE YEARS, IN MANY CASES THEER WAS NO LOSS, ONLY AN ABILITY TO SCREW THE INSURANCE INDUSTRY, COSTING US ALL VERY DEAR.
12th of Nov, 2009 THANKS TO WWW.RATE-YOUR-SOLICITOR.COM Firms like this were naïve in thinking they could just keep goin on as always. They never did get caught as victims had no way of talking to each other, unlike solicitors who had the cosy nest of The Law Society network. Now thanks to thanks to WWW.RATE-YOUR-SOLICITOR.COM that is no longer the case and they will all be put ouf of business as their lack of credibility is exposed. What MAcarten did with hios colleagues at Pierse & Fitzgibbon is nothing new to either of them, but would thye do it again one wonders? It is now too late, people have lost lots of money and the Garda should now intervene. Signed D 'World Wide' Webb Solicitors Main Street Castle-Donoghhue Ballydung
7th of Nov, 2009 FACT? THE ALLEGATION IS THAT MARARTEN & ANTHONY O’GORMAN UNDERTOOK TO RECTIFY BRENDAN HEGARTY’S TITLE TO HIS HOUSE AT LISSSELTON CROSS, CO KERRY, THE HOUSE HE ACQUIRED FROM THE LATE BENNY MacMAHON WHO WORKED AT TARRANTS GARAGE IN MARKET STREET. THE EVIDENCE I HAVE SEEN IS THAT THE O’GORMANS CLEANED UP THE FILE OF ROBERT PIERSE’S WRONG DOINGS, AND RETURNED IT TO BRENDAN 12 MONTHS LATER. I HAVE ALSO SEEN BRENDAN’S NOTE ON THE ASSIGNMENT, AND IT SUGGESTS THAT THE O’GORMAN’S GAVE CONTRADICTORY REASONS FOR THE ‘DELAY’, I.E. A BEREAVEMENT THAY HAD, OR MAY HAVE HAD. THE REASON I AM LEANING TOWARDS A CONCLUSION HERE IS THAT NEITHER THE O’GORMANS OR PIERSE HAVE RESPONDEDTO, LET ALONE CHALLENGED BRENDAN’S ACCOUNT OF EVENTS, AND WHICH IS CORROBORATED BY THE OTHER EVIDENCE, INCLUDING DOCUMENTATION. THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT CRIME WAS DETECTED AND NOBODY IS DOING ANYTHUNG ABOUT, BASICALLY BECAUSE THOSE WHO CAUSED IT, I.E. CRIMINALS, ARE TOO WELL CONNECTED. IS THIS WHAT WE HAVE BECOME AS A RACE OF PEOPLE? IS THIS WHY OUR YOUNG AND SMART ARE NOW HAVING TO IMMIGRATE?
7th of Nov, 2009 Taints image of Aklow as a shopping town Moreover in the current climate and while the town is not perfect, we do not need this.
20th of Nov, 2009 GET OVER THE FOOTBALL & FIFA It is only a bloody football match. We have the same system here of lack of accountability and people who lost their property were even jeered at by some. Powerful and corrupt solicitors are protected by The Law Society the same way Powerful football teams and Corrupt players (Henry) are protected by FIFAm, because they make more by having bigger countries in the finals. Mob rule is mob rule and like everything, eliminating it starts at home. If everybody did that Ireland would be headed to South Africa 2010. Do unto others….as will be done to you. It may not be you today…..but today came on Wednesday evening……and we were wronged as a nation. But we as a nation wronged our own people and nobody did anything….. Sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander! I lost on both counts as I am an Irish football fanatic, and a victim of these firms.
19th of Nov, 2009 FIFA = LAW SOCIETY FOR THOSE OF US WHO DID NOT KNOW, NOW WE DO. LAW DIVIDES MAN IN THE STREET FROM THE DIRTY BROWN GOLDEN CIRCLES OF THE NATION! IN A WAY, THANK GOD!
18th of Nov, 2009 paul very professional firm, 100% happy with purchase of my new house. would defo recommend, one of the best in gorey town. Anthony keep the good work up - dont bother listening to these people who have more loads of time on their hands and hae nothing better to do..
25th of Nov, 2009 NO UNDERTAKING = NO INSURANCE = DUN AN DORAS Insurance for solicitors works on the basis of the policy in effect when the case against them is initiated. That means that insurers carry the cumulative risk, so if and when the dams burst all hell will break loose as the prevailing policy will have to cover claims going back since the insured started practicing. So just one scent of negligence or conflict of interests claim and insurance companies run, leaving victims at the mercy of the solicitors ‘residual’ assets. The firms and solicitors will be no longer, but reinstatement of one’s affairs will be further jeopardized. I am posting this message for a number of solicitors connected with the same offences in the hope that it will help victims to understand the situation better.
26th of Dec, 2009 Never had much class anyway, so hardly surprising. I did think though that he had some cop. Standing between two formidable Kerrymen was a step too far Anthony, and they will revenge you through Macarten, where it hurts most. I suppose if you ask for trouble you will get it. I know both of these and the one you sided with is the least fearful if you ask me.
20th of Dec, 2009 SINISTER COMMENTS O’Gorman’s only defense is that survivors of his criminal behavior have time to contribute on here. I make time for it as I see it as being very important to protect others, so that they are not wronged by him like I was. WHAT IS MORE RELEVANT NOW THOUGH, AND THANKS TO THE HOSTERS OF THIS SITE, IS THAT BECAUSE THE WORD IS OUT, IS THAT O’GORMAN AND HIS COLLUSIVE ASSOCIATES WILL HAVE MORE AND MORE TIME TO READ AND CONTRIBUTE HERE, BASICALLY BECAUSE NOBODY WILL GOING TO THEM FOR LEGAL ADVICE, MOREOVER AS THERE IS A GLUT OF OVER CAPACITY OF SOLICITORS. THERE IS 2,500 OF THEM UNEMPLOYED, AND ABOUT 5,000 UNDEREMPLOYED, TWIDDLING THEIR THUMBS. I HAVE NO MERCY AT ALL FOR THEM, AS LIKE THE CHURCH, EVEN THE NOT SO BAD ONES STOOD BY THEIR FELLOWS AS THEY PLUNDERED INNOCENT AND DEFENSELESS PEOPLE. Signed Andy & Mary Anne Corrigan Wexford
9th of Apr, 2010 re Pussy O'Gorman, aka Amy 'Amy', why doesn't Anthiny O'Gorman defend his case re The Hegarty man? I am afraid it is indefencable and if the allegations were untrue then Anthiny and his partner in crime in Listowel, Robert Pierse would sue Hegary to the hilt. They are solicitors afterall. Crooks is suits. The scum of the earth. Even baby Macarten Pussy O'Gorman is infected; the apple does not fall far. Looking on the bright side, doun an doras day is fast approaching. Noth these firms applied to work for NAMA, and well, what were they told? Things are bad, but not that bad!
16th of Dec, 2009 re Paul I have made comment on here, and I am a very busy man, and a lot busier because of Macartens misdeeds that have cost me a lot to reinstate, a lot of money that is very scarce with me, as I am not a solicitor. I am happy for you and I wish you well, who ever you are! But stop branding victims aas baddies and Macartena as goodie two shoes, when everyone of us knows what is going on. Do you think we are stupid or what? I think you are really an O'Gorman, and they did try this before, until The Editor put a stop to it. Yours faithfully 'Bunclody Tiger'
27th of Dec, 2009 RE MICHAEL BYRNE SEEN LEAVING O’GORMAN’S OFFICE BEFORE A CASE I WAS INVOLVED IN A CASE WHERE A MICHEAL BYRNE WAS THE OPPOSITE PARTY. HE WAS SEEN LEAVING O’GORMAN’S OFFICE A WEEK BEFORE THE CASE, AND WE LOST HANDS DOWN. WILL THE REAL MICHAEL BYRNE PLEASE STAND UP
27th of Dec, 2009 RE ‘MILEY’ BYRNE STOP THE COD ACTING MACATREN, BEING STRUCK OFF AWAITS YOU, JUST WHEN IT WILL BE TOO LATE TO RESURRECT ANOTHER CAREER. IT IS ALL ABOUT TIMING. A SLOW AND CERTAIN DEATH, THE BEST OF ALL!
27th of Dec, 2009 END OF SAGA v VOICE OF ALL VICTIMS OF INSTITUTIONAL DYSFUNCTION While on one hand I think it has all been said, on the other hand people should continue to air their concerns, moreover as the perpetrators refuse to reinstate their victims. In fact I think this site leads the way in eliminating situations arising where INSTITUTIONAL DYSFUNCTION IS PROTECTED OVER AND ABOVE THE WELFARE OF INVIVIDUALS. I.E. SAME AS THE CHURCH. AS A VOIS MEMBER, THE MESSAGE IS CLEAR TO ME, REINSTATE THE PEOPLE YOU WRONGED OR DUN AN DORAS. THANK GOD FOR THE INTERNET, AS OTHERWISE NOTHING WOULD CHANGE.
24th of Dec, 2009 RE Michael Byrne MICHAEL, IF YOU ARE SO ILLITERATE THEN HOW DO YOU KNOW YOU HAVE NOT BEEN SCREWED BY THIS FIRM? HE HAS FOOLED MEN WHO ARE OBVIOUSLY SMARTER THAN YOU, MAYBE YOU NEED TO HAVE YOUR FILES CHECKED BY VOIS, AND YOUR HEAD ASWELL, BY THE LOCAL MECHANIC.
22nd of Dec, 2009 Michael Byrne i really dont see what half of all this rubbish has got to do with O' Gormans. i am very happy with the advice,cost & over all pleasentness of this firm. if Anthony was what you say he is he would of been struck off years ago! come on like grow up. very happy client.
13th of Jan, 2010 ROBBED BY THE PEOPLE WHO ARE SUPPOSED TO PROTECT US same story.
13th of Jan, 2010 a traitor among us anyone to take down a client is a traitor, and Macarten has now proven that he is up there with his daddy and the rest of the mobster gang.
2nd of Feb, 2010 WHO IS BROKE NOW? They tried to brake people’s pockets and all it did was strengthen their resolve. I is only a complete idiot who would not know that, moreover a Kerryman on his own territory. You’d wonder what this shower think about when the heads hit the pillows. The future is Orange…The Ring of Fire….hell hath no fury as….the pen is mightier than the sword, a broken heart is a broken man…..revenge is best served as a cold dish. If this is the legacy Anthony leaves the pup then that just about makes them the greatest….paupers ever known! You’d pity him if it weren’t for him acting as a lead life jacket. The only thing is that a lead life jacket sinks itself, life’s natural control mechanism.
9th of Feb, 2010 SORRY MACARTEN DID A SMALL PIECE OF WORK FUR US, AND THEN ASKED US OVER A DRINK TO PRAISE HIM ON HERE. I SAID I WOULD WHEN HE RECONCILED HIS CHARGE OF 750 EURO FOR COPYING A 1 PAGE LEGAL DOCUMENT, SIGNINING IT, AND POSTIONG IT 1st CLASS LOCAL. AND THAT WAS PLUS VAT. YOUR SITE IS DEFNINITELY EFFECTIVE AND HE IS GENUINELY WORRIED, MOREOVER THAT THE EVIDENCE IS CONVINCING, NO JUDGE WILL EVER AGAIN BELIEVE THEM, EVEN IF THEY WANT TO. THE PUBLIC KNOW THEY ARE LYIONG ABOUT THE HEGARTY CASE, AND FOR MACARTEN TO GO TO LETTERKENNUY TO COLLECT FILES PROVES THAT BEYOND A SHADOW OF A DOUBT. WHEN ALICE (MY WIFE) MENTIONED THIS SITE, HE THEN SAID HE'D SETTLE FOR 500 ALL IN, I STILL REFUSED, AND THERE WE LEFT IT. LETS SEE IOF WE GET A SOLICITORS LETTER, I.E. A RIP-OFFS LETTER. HTHEY ARE NOT SOLICITORS. BRIAN DONEGAN DUNDALK CO LOUGH
19th of Mar, 2010 WHO IS THE HEAD BANGER NOW? well it isn't Hegarty anyway, although O'Gorman is so afraid of him he tried to lay the blame with him. the truth is that there are hundreds of 'headbangers' who O'Gorman owes a lot of money to for his ill conceived of deeds. Hegarty is now a writer of distinction and I recommend anyone to go to tohttp://ballythefireside.blogspot.com/ I'd say you might find a wee tale about O'Gorman on there if you look for it1 A lot of veiled stuff alright, RIVETING STUFF.
23rd of Feb, 2010 HE LOSY ME 120,000 EUROS SWEET AND PATRONISING AND PRETENDS THERE IS SMOKE WITHIOUT FIRE. HE WAS HANDLING A DEBT COLLECTION CASE FOR ME AGAINST A PROPERTY CLIENT IN DUBLIN AND 6 MONTHS LATER HE HADN'T EEVNS ENT A LETTER AND THE GUY GOES BUST. I AM NOW INFORMED THAT PIERSE FITZGIBBON IN LISTOWEL WAS THE OTHER GUYS SOLICITOR. THIS IS PATHETIC. WE ONLY FOUND OUT BY PURE ACCIDENT THROUGH A COLLEAGUE OF OURS WHO ALSO HAD DEALINGS WITHH THE LISTOWEL FIRM, AND WE JUST HAPPENED TO BUMP INTO HIM IN O'GORMAN'S OFFICES AND WE KNEW OF THE CONNECTION THROUG CONSTRUCTION, FUIDING OUT THE CONNECTION THROUGH THE SOLICITORS IS TERRIBKLE AND I AM NOW OUT OF POCKET BY 120,000 EUROS. O'GORMAN IS A PURE CON AS IS THAT PIERSE FITZGIBBON FIRM.
4th of Apr, 2010 amy Why don't the website administrators just switch on IP tracking to put an end to this? Job done unless your crazy man is going to dart between computers all day.
16th of Mar, 2010 caught off side he represented my wife in a civil matter and he was seen down in Tralee with the other party while the case was going on. we lost the case that eh told us was 'cast iron'. so he probably got paid by them too, under the table no doubt. Josh & Joanne Regan Wexford
10th of Apr, 2010 HE IS STUPID 'AMY' I don't believe that Anthiony O'Gorman is the only culprit on here who defends criminals. Take yourself for example, oh but maybe you have the same IP address? Why would you defend crime, if you were not a criminal yourself. Anthony O'Gorman is stupid for what he did and others shoudl not have to pay for his stupidity. That inclides victim clients and fellow solicitirs who are straight. His secretary is also a liar, counfounded. Once this show is off the road they have only themselves to thank. Did he know who he was dealing with. That Hegarty guy would make mince meat of O'Gorman, and not a day too soon,. SIGNED VOID Member who is familiar with O'Gorman's VOIS file, and a very heavy file it is too, very,.
22nd of Apr, 2010 187 Victim reports Just in case anyone thinks that this firm receives undue attention, we had no less than 187 Victims record cases against this firm. The number of cases is over 1,350 as I write. Alan Peterson VOIS Case Register
20th of May, 2010 reply to AMY who is this crazy man? why do you suggest that this firm only took down one person? i was at a meeting in Wexford and there was 37 complaints made against him concerning 22 different acses. now why woudl you be protecting hiom 'Amy'? are you sure your surname is not O'Gorman. I bet it is.
20th of Apr, 2010 Tangled in words It's not often a solicitor gets caught out, and it is great when they do. But I suppose what Macarten did not factor in was who his victim would be. I suppose when Robert Pierse is in trouble he will haul in anyone he can regardless of the consequences. The O'Gorman's will now be handing in their practicing licenses I'd say. Caught red handed.

Caught red handed by a Kerry Writer and just take a look at http://ballythefireside.blogspot.com/ if you need evidence.
1st of May, 2010 ONCE A CROOK ALWAYS A CROOK And never to be trusted. I found that myself and it looks like others on here found the same. At least with the world wide web solicitors who are guilty of misdonduct as exposed and the public can then judge for themselves. i.e. not rely on The Law Society which is corrupt anyway.
20th of Apr, 2010 BENT SOLICITORS HAVE BEEN BALLY…ED Just Google Ballythefireside and read all about yourselves. Needless to say you will be more careful in future who you take down. The Dreadline, The Endline, Endatheline in earnest! IT’S A RAT TRAP AND YOU’VE BEEN CAUGHT, It’s a rat trap and you’ve been caught, And like any other rat, you’ve been bought Now the cops are on the way and you are sought
14th of Apr, 2010 sarah deborah how do I avoid using my name yet join the rest of the public with a warning. As our case is still in abeyance...well you know the story, and why don,t all these people with gripes get together to take him down.
15th of Apr, 2010 Hi 'amy' why don't you and Macarten stop secrwing up innocent people's legal and financial affairs and there would be no need for this site in the first place.
15th of Apr, 2010 between a rock of a man and a hard place Hegarty is a sound man and Puierse is the O'Gormans's are as thick as short planks. Well to go between two formidable Kerrymen you'd want to be fairly thick. Pierse formidable because he screws the system to help the abuse of innocent and defenseless children, the other formidable because he stood up to Pierse, and exposed him for what he is, that is a perverted criminal. And this is the O'Gorman's friend, partner in crime. Now does that huirt you enough 'amy'? Gosh but the truth must be terrible to stomach. Wwell if it is paunful, just imagine what it was like for the 3,000 children those who you sympathise with abused. Shame on you to suggest that it is only a small number of people they have taken down. Just a pity one of your family was not abused by them, then you might think differently.
17th of Apr, 2010 re 'AMY' THERE WAS 11,983 MALICIOUS COMMENTS ON POLITICS.IE IN TWO WEEKS ABOUT WHAT APPEARS TO BE AN INNOCENT DALY AUCTIONEER IN TRALEE, YET YOU TRY TO SUGGEST THAT 300 IS A LOT OF COMMENTS ABOUT A BUNCH OF CRIMINALS (I.E. ANTHINY O'GORMAN) WHO CANNOT AND THEREFORE WILL NOT DEFEND HIMSELF. YOU ARE PLAYING ON YOUR FALSE PERCEPTION THAT PEOPLE DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON HERE. ANTHIONYA ND MACARTEN GOT CAUGHT AND THEY SHALL PAY THE PRICE, AS THEY CANNOT BE TRUSTED. THEIR TIME HAS COME, NOW WHAT DAY WILL IT BE? YOU SEE YOU GORT FUNNY WITH THE WRONG PEOPLE ALTOGETHER, GOMBEENS THAT YOU ARE LIKE YOUR FELLOW CONSPIRATORS IN LISTOWEL.
17th of Apr, 2010 ADVICE, ALBEIT TOO LATE Lots of ways around a Kerryman Macarten, and one of them is not straight through him. Now if you knew that before would you have done things differently? Is ait e mhac an tsaol?
24th of Apr, 2010 THE GOREY DETAILS There is one in every town, you have Robert Pieres in Listowel and Anthony O'Gorman in Gorey. A dying breed, but even the young pups .. well .. the apple does not fall far.
20th of May, 2010 SUGGESTION RE UNEMPLOYED AND ROCKETING INSURANCE HOW MANY PEOPLE WOULD BE OFF THE DOLE AND WORKING IF THESE ARSEHOLES WERE EXPOSED TO THE FREE MARKET? HOW MUCH WOULD INSURANCE PREMIUMS FALL? HOW MUCH WILL THESE KEY FIGURES RISE IF THEY ARE ALLOWED TO CONTINUE AS A LICENSED MOB?
20th of May, 2010 An Anthiny O'Gorman sandwich O'Gorman jumps in between two Kerrymen,and now he is dead meat, pure poison. Not alone is he a crook but a poor one. Anyone to employ him would be ill advised as the judiciary cannot now be even seen to be believing him, as he has procven here that he is a member of 'the gombeen gang'. The GGs!
12th of May, 2010 TO QUOTE .. THIS SAYS IT ALL “A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious, it cannot survive treason from within. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine...” Marcus Tullius Cicero wrote in 45BC.
20th of May, 2010 re TINA CURRAN Tina, your fingers obviously have more brains that your head, they control your head, they are your conscience. Your ill thoughts wanted to praise a hobo but you voted to AVOID him, and rightly so. Good on you 'TINA O'GORMAN'.
20th of May, 2010 SUGGESTION RE UNEMPLOYED AND ROCKETING INSURANCE HOW MANY PEOPLE WOULD BE OFF THE DOLE AND WORKING IF THESE ARSEHOLES WERE EXPOSED TO THE FREE MARKET? HOW MUCH WOULD INSURANCE PREMIUMS FALL? HOW MUCH WILL THESE KEY FIGURES RISE IF THEY ARE ALLOWED TO CONTINUE AS A LICENSED MOB?
15th of May, 2010 TINA CURRAN Anthony O Gorman is the most professional solicitor around. His staff are very helpful and very friendly as is Anthony. Leave him alone folks!!!!GET OVER IT
25th of May, 2010 I AGREE WITH TINA AVOID HIM BECAUSE HE IS A PROFESSIONAL CROOK AND BEWARE OF FREINDLY PEOPLE BEARING GISFT, AS THEY HAVE LONG HORNS. THE ONLY TYHING IS ANTHONY'S HORN IS NOW CUT AND NO JUDGE WILL BELIEVE ONE WORD HE SAYS ANYMORE. AND A FOOL HE IS TO GO BETWEEN TWO FEUDING KERRYMEN. I WONDER IF HE HAS INSURANCE NOW THAT HE HAS BEEN EXPOSED. INSURANCE COMPANIES GENERALLY WITHDRAW COVER ONCE THE WORD IS OUT.
26th of May, 2010 Amy Seriously, switch on IP tracking. And find this man a hobby. Why don't you join Amnesty International and channel all that energy and enthusiasm into writing?
26th of May, 2010 27 to 156 and still counting This firm started with 27 victims voicing complaints and the registry is now at 156. So much for the notion that Macarten and associates were only involved in a half dozen or so scams. Signed VOIS Member Bunclody
27th of May, 2010 Avoid big time! This guy is not only unprofessional but DANGEROUS. Can't give particulars at the moment but my friend is looking at losing her life savings and possibly her home to the State because of this gombeens ineptitude...and charged her a fortune for cocking up in the process. Mentioned his name over lunch and other nearly threw-up having been conned by this Firm. I admire people like TINA CURRAN like others who have defended him and gave stars (although she did tick the AVOID tab), they don't need a solicitor to manage their affairs; just to sign off on what they already know and are probably vigilant. O'Gorman preys on vulnerable clients who trust and place their fate in solicitors, just like the paedophile clergy did. FGS, this guy is dealing with peoples lives, some strong like those who have given him 'stars' but many are frail souls. I believe that if he's screwed up this clients affairs he WILL be going down. I'll keep you all informed. Sorry, I cant sign my name, I dislike anonymity but this guy is so dangerous that like a rat he'll do anything to get out of this when he's back is against the wall. This time he's not dealing with Joe Public...
28th of May, 2010 ANTHIONY's XMAS STOCKING A SIGNED COPY OF SATROK, HEGARTY'S BOOK. SERIOSULY, IF O'GORMAN HAD TO TAKE SOMEONE DOWN, JUST WHY DID HE PICK ON HEGARTY? NOW I DON'T MIND MY SOLICITOR BEING LETS SAY 'FLEXIBLE', IN FACT I LIKE IT, BUT STUPID, NO, NOT AT ALL.
16th of Jun, 2010 LAW SOCIETY ADVERT –YOU WILL HAVE ONE THING LESS TO WORRY ABOUT THAT IS TRUE, YOU WILL BE WITHOUT YOUR PROPERTY.
16th of Jun, 2010 not so smart it takes a kerryman to sort some people out and thanks to listowel for that. our anthony and macarten would be good networkers alright. a well practiced exercise.
24th of Jun, 2010 Who is B Donoghue? Is he B Thefiresides brother Anthony? Which one burnt you the most? If you had your time again would you have cleaned up the file for Pervert Pierse in Listowel? Birds of a feather..... Your carriage awaits ... And you may as well throw Macarten in the suit-case and take him on holidays too, because he will have loads of free time when all of this is done with, buit will he be free? He may be behind those bars, vertical ones, not chocolate ones. Then he will have all the time in the world to think over that fateful decision again.
24th of Jun, 2010 Rotten apples! The apple does not fall far,and the rotten ones don't roll, but plomp exactly here they land. Hopefully they will all be called to the bars, the vertical ones!
26th of Jun, 2010 Re Patrick Macklin, Monaghan Macklin must be pretty bad if he is worse than this firm. The two gangsters in Listowel are world renouned, even one of them was condemned by the US government through the Embassy in Dublin, so to say he is not as bad as them is to say he is not as black as coal. And sure aren't they his mates anyway, that Pierse trickster, the lad that had Curtin realesed onto our streets to play with the children. And they all well connected. God bless us all.
4th of Jul, 2010 CONGRATS TO O'GORMANS FOR NOT ALONE BEING AMATEUR SMALL TIEM CROOKS, BUT MOST OF ALL FOR GETTING CAUGHT. I THINK THE PHRASE USED ELSEWHERE IS APT: URBAN FOX OUTFOOXED BY THE ORIGINAL OF THE SPECIES, THE COUNTRY FOX NOW WHERE IS THAT FOX TERRIER?
9th of Jul, 2010 1998 Took us to cleaners that long ago, no internet then. At last we have our opportunity. Mr & Mrs K Macken
15th of Jul, 2010 INSURANCE THROUGH THE ROOF IF HE HAS IT WHAT YOU MAY NOT KNOW IS THAT SOLICITORS PROFESSIONAL INDEMNITY INSURANCE WORKS ON A CUMULATIVE BASIS, SO THE POLICY IN PLACE TODAY COVERS ALL HISTORIC MISDEEDS, PUN NOT INTENDED. IN ESSENCE HIS CURRENT INSURERS ARE COVERING HSI ENTIRE PAST CAREER, AND ONCE THE PROVERBIAL HITS THE FAN THEN THE FLOOD GATES OPEN AND CLAIMANTS APPEAR OUT OF NOWHERE, AS IT IS REALLY A PACK OF CARDS TYPE OF SCENARIO. OF COURSE INSURANCE COMPANEIS ARE NOT IDIOTS, IN FACT THEY ARE VERY CUTE, AND THE MAINSTREAM ONES WILL NOT WANT TO COVER HIM AT ANY PRICE. WELL WHY WOULD THEY WHEN THE PROBABILITY OF MASSIVE LOSSES IS HIGH? SO URBAN FOX 'PE' ENDS UP WITH A SHODDY INSURER AT EXTORTIONIST COST, A COST HE HAS TO PASS ONTO CLIENTS, SO HE IS NOW EVEN WORSE OF A RIP OFF. HE ALSO HAS TO CHARGE CLIENTS A LOT MORE TO MAKE UP FOR THE GOOD CLIENTS WHO HAVE ALREADY ABANDONED HIM. HE WOULD HAVE TO SELL A LOT OF FIRE CERTS TO MAKE UP FOR ALL THIS NONSENSE. NOW HERE AM I WONDERING IF HE HAD HIS TIME AGAIN, WOULD BE BE SO CUTE AGAIN WITH THE FIRE CERTS TRADE? HIS PLOT WITH THE FIRE OFFICER ALMOST COST LIVES IN A TOURIST COUNTY AND HOPEFULLY THAT DAY IS GONE. WITH HIS BEDFELLOW DUMBO NOW CLAIMING ENDATHELINE aka ENDEUS PROMISED HIM MINISTER FOR TOURISM FOR LICKING HIS ARSE IN THE FG WEST V FG EAST DIVIDE, WHAT WILL HE DO WITH PAT? WILL HE KICK HIM OUT OF THE BED BEFORE THINGS GET TOO HOT AND HE SETS FOR TO THE BLANKEST? WE'D HAVE TWO LOVELY RED FOXES THEN WOULDN'T WE? FG SHOULD BAN ENRIGHT FOR STARTERS AND IF THEY DON'T THEN THEY ARE ONLY ADDING TO THE BAGGAGE THAT SI ENDATHELINE, AND DUMBO. IF THIS IS THE ALTERNATIVE, WHAT ARE THE PEOPLE SUPPOSED TO DO? DUMBO HAVING EMBARASSED THE COUNTY BY THINKING HE WAS THE IDA IN AMERICA? THEN RATTLINGB HIS CAN THAT THEER IS ONLY ONE POLICE FORCE, WHEN HE HIMSELF THINKS THAT THERE ARE TWO IDA's?
