I was very lucky to have had them as my solicitors on 4 occasions in the last few years- all relating to property purchase/sale, and I have to say Ian (the solicitor) and Linda (the legal secretary) are the best legal team anyone can have. Ian has great attention to detail and is very thorough when preparing, reviewing and assessing the documents. He performs all necessary checks, even the smallest ones, ensuring everything is in order and will not allow a transaction that might put his client in a risky position. As a first time home buyer 8 years ago, I had chosen an apartment in a development in Dublin, 2 years before it became public that the apartments there have serious construction issues and the insurance company is refusing to approve the €10m claim needed to fix the faults. Ian discovered this by taking the time to go through the management company minutes of meeting (does any other solicitor actually do this?!) and stopped me from making the huge mistake of buying a property with a drenched in water ceiling that I could neither sell nor have fixed after that. Ian and Linda have always been very approachable and responsive, they always kept me up to date and informed on the progress of my transactions.I cannot recommend this firm enough, I am so grateful to have had them as my solicitors and will continue to use their services whenever I need legal advice! Thank you, Ian and Linda, for what you have done for me!

I met Ian McKenna for the first time in late 2018, during one one of free First Time Buyer Workshops, organized by ODMK Solicitors. I knew literally nothing about property purchasing process in Ireland at that time. Workshop was exceptionally informative. During the official session, Ian covered all relevant legal aspects of the process, while his guest, Peter Gilbourne from Affinity Advisors, explained everything about mortgage application and other relevant financial aspects of the purchase. After that, during Q&A session, both Ian and Peter were patiently answering numerous specific questions asked by audience. My first impression about Ian was that he is very knowledgeable about this topic, empathetic and capable to present complex matters in simple words. Because of this, I decided to choose ODMK solicitors to look after my purchase. I got sales agreed on my apartment during the peak of pandemics (in April 2021). Since then, I have been regularly informed by Linda Callagher (Legal Executive), Ian and other members of ODMK team about the progress in conveyancing process. Few days ago, to my delight, I learnt from Linda and Ian that I can take the keys of the apartment. Many thanks for your help throughout property purchasing process.

I retained the services of O'Donnell McKenna, specifically, Ian McKenna for the purchase of a house in Dublin during the height of the recent pandemic period. I chose Ian's firm after meeting both himself and his wife plus business partner, Una O'Donnell at a housing exhibition in the RDS and found them to be warm, informative and enthusiastic professionals. I later attended one of Ian's mortgage workshops. Having been out of the country for a bit, I found the workshop to be most helpful in getting me focused and organized towards purchasing a house. Purchasing a house is difficult at the best of times, doing it in Dublin was tough and doing in Dublin during pandemic time was a bloody nightmare, but I'm extremely glad I had Ian O'Donnell and his team to guide me through those choppy waters. At all times either Ian or his legal executive, Linda Gallagher were there to guide, calm and navigate on my behalf. Despite a myriad of obstacles and difficulties, Ian and Linda got me over the line. Throughout I felt supported by either Ian or Linda and this was done with genial and genuine Donegal warmth...which was well received by this Westmeath man as he trudged through Dublin's property battlefield! Grateful thanks to all.

We were referred to Ian McKenna of O'Donnell McKenna Solicitors by a good friend of ours and feel so lucky to have fallen in such good and capable hands. As first time home buyers in Ireland (we previously owned a home in the United States), we were somewhat daunted by the various steps and nuances of purchasing a home in Ireland. Ian and his team, especially Linda, made the entire process so seamless and held our hand every step of the way. They were very clear with their communications, letting us know well in advance of potential obstacles that we might encounter and how best to address them. We were especially impressed with how well they handled communications with one of the real estate agents who was becoming quite aggressive at times while we were waiting for paperwork to be transferred from the seller's solicitor. This team really "goes to bat" for you and we certainly recommend them to our friends and family.

I highly recommend Mr. Ian McKenna and Linda who helped and supported my family througout the years on purchasing our new home. They are always excellent, trustworthy and had dealt all our queries professionally. They made sure that we understood the binding contract and looked at every angle to ensure that our legal rights as new home buyers are warranted during our mortgage journey. The handover of keys was so stressful with the estate agent, but Ian's team reached out and they were absolutely amazing. They did make sure that it will be handed to us on the expected turn over date. Ian's team gone above and beyond to ensure no delay will take in place that day. The most kindest and honest solicitor I ever met here in Ireland. I'm grateful and proud to have chosen them and I would always recommend his service to anyone or family looking for a solicitor nationwide.

Where do I even start..... I met Ian at his First time buyers workshop back in 2022. We instantly hit it off with Ian and could see he knew his stuff so felt immediately confident in trusting him to represent us. I cannot thank Ian McKenna and Linda ENOUGH for absolutely everything they did for us whilst buying our first home. Nobody tells you just how stressful and long the process is but thank god we had these guys there every step of the way to answer our endless phone calls of doubt/worry and just to keep us sane. We had a long road, but we managed to get there in the end. Thank you both for putting up with us, helping us, encouraging us, looking out for us and counseling us along the way haha. We could not recommend you anymore if we tried and we wish you all the best in everything you do. Take care, Charlie & Eddie.

I chose Ian as my solicitor after being recommended to him from my broker, and I can only say how delighted and lucky I am to have chosen him. Thanks to him and especially Linda, the experience of buying a my first home was delightful. They cleared any question I had and removed as much anxiety as possible from the process. Linda made sure to stay in touch with me and keep me posted especially around the closing time. She was taking some time off for a long weekend, and called me at 6:30pm on the Friday to make sure I was updated on the status before she was on holidays, her dedication and care for the customer have just been outstanding. I can only recommend strongly Ian and Linda to anyone, especially if you are a first time buyer!

I first met Ian at the first time buyer workshop he runs monthly which is a very valuable service, he goes through every stage of the process and makes it make sense. I would highly recommend the workshop as it really gives a first time buyer a thorough overview of the entire journey. He represented us in our purchase of our first home and was very informative & helpful throughout the process. As our case was an onwards chain it was a little more anxious and stressful than a more straight forward sale & Linda also well assisted us & answered all our queries clearly which was great and we were able to complete the sale in the original timeline. Hearing 'You can pick up your keys' from Ian is the best phone-call you will ever get!

Ian and Linda on his team were so helpful from day one sharing as much information as possible about the process. Response was prompt to any questions and Ian took the time to explain everything and was with us every step of the way. He was really patient with us as we got quite frustrated at different points of the very annoyingly long process. But its really his attention to detail that saved us. He noticed quite a crucial discrepancy quite late in the sale which would have been an absolute nightmare. Then he was able to resolve this working with the other side so that the sale didn’t fall through. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy a property .

Strongly recommend Mr Ian and his team ( Mrs Linda), they assisted with the conveyancing for my apartment purchase in Dublin . Overall, I was confident I chose the right company, very trustworthy, got the right support , decent timeline for completion (3 months) and no hassle at all. They explained a few times the whole process and calmly addressed all my questions and , first time buyer, specific worries. Good price considering the due diligence and quality of work. Highly recommend attending their “First time buyers “ workshops advertised on Facebook. These are free and demystify the whole process of buying a property in Ireland. Good luck!

I was a first time buyer and I went to the 'first time buyer' workshop that Ian hosted last year. I had a few tricky questions in the workshop and Ian was great in taking a phone call from me the next day to discuss in more detail. Thanks to Ian and Linda I've now been in my first home just over a month. They were both fantastic, such professionals but also warm to deal with. They know the industry really well and helped me navigate the daunting process of buying my first home...on my own. I am so grateful to them both and will definitely be keeping Ian as my Solicitor going forward. Thank you again. Shima

I sought out Ian's solicitor services to finalise the purchase of my 1st home , back in 2017 i went to one of their 1st time buyers evenings and i left armed with a copy of the slides loads of info. When i went sale agreed and got onto Ian, again i got a lot of info of what to do next and what to expect. Throughout the whole process i was able to contact Linda and Ian who were always able to give me a update and put my mind at ease that everything was in hand and was moving along. They were in contact with me if anything was needed and i assured that it would be done correctly - i would highly recommend.

We are overseas first time buyers of real property in Ireland. It was overwhelming for us not to say from a different legal system. The solicitor Ian McKenna and his co-workers Linda and Yvonne at O'Donnell McKenna are exceptionally helpful. They led us through the way from the start to the closing of the real property purchase which took months! They didn't just take care of the legal issues and solve problems during the course but their understanding of our anxiety and comfort was very much appreciated, it turned our frustration to relaxation! They deserve to be an award winning law firm, Bravo!

I cannot recommend Ian and Linda from O'Donnell McKenna Solicitors enough! They were absolutely fantastic in assisting us with our mortgage request. From start to finish, the process was seamless and stress-free, thanks to their expertise and professionalism. They were always available to answer our questions and kept us informed every step of the way. Their attention to detail and efficiency ensured that everything was completed in a timely manner. We are extremely grateful for their assistance and would not hesitate to use their services again in the future. Thank you, Ian and Linda!

We attended one of Ian's first time buyer workshops many years ago, I was so impressed that we knew we would always have him as our solicitor when we bought our first home. And he did not disappoint! fantastic, professional, efficient and reassuring. As a first time buyer you never know what is a normal process from the broker/bank but Ian was there to reassure us all the way, even giving us a step by step process when we first hired him. We could not recommend him enough! 5 star service, at a great price and worth every cent! we will forever recommend Ian McKenna and his firm.

I got to know ODMK initially through a Zoom call I had with Ian when I started looking for advice as a First Time home buyer. He gave me great advice about mortgage providers (better than what I got from my mortgage broker). A year later I went back to ODMK for representation with the sale. While my case was quite complicated and was delayed multiple times because of external events Linda was integral to following up with the process and saved me from having to pay an extra month's rent by sorting out the closing (getting the keys) the day after they got the fund.

Buying a house is a stressful journey and if there was anything that made this simple was the most valuable and trusted advice of Ian McKenna of O’Donnell McKenna Solicitors. Ian, Linda, Denise and Yvonne are extremely diligent and what adds to ODMK’s USP is their understanding and patience towards house buyer’s confusions as well as complications, if any, that that arise in the house purchase journey. I would highly recommend ODMK for their legal expertise, eye for details, professionalism, and patience :) Dr Anuj Singh and Dr Supriya Kapoor.

I just recently bought my first home as the sole purchaser with the support from Ian and the staff at O'Donnell McKenna Solicitors. I had gone to one of their First Time Buyer workshops and liked what they had to say so decided to go with them. The whole process was relatively stress free, and it was really only a couple of weeks from getting the formal loan offer from the bank to closing and getting the keys. I have no other experience of buying a house to compare with, however I would recommend O'Donnell McKenna Solicitors in a heartbeat.

Highly recommend Mr. Ian McKenna and his Team ( especially Linda) who represented us and helped us in our purchase of our first home. They were extremely patient with us answering our queries and worries. The final stage of the home buying process was extremely fast and smoothly handle by them which made us receive our keys really quick. I also highly recommend attending the first time buyers seminar conducted by O'Donnell McKenna Solicitors which prompted us in going along with them and glad that we made the correct decision.

I attended one of Ian's first-time buyer workshops a few years ago. It was well presented and had many useful notes. I talked with him after his presentation and decided then that my husband and I would use Ian as our solicitor when we were buying a house. We finally bought a house this year and Ian guided us through the process, he was always patient and took the time to make sure we understood everything. I would highly recommend Ian McKenna and his firm for anyone looking for a solicitor when buying a home.

Myself and my partner are first time buyers and we we were referred to Ian McKenna of O'Donnell McKenna Solicitors by our broker. Ian (Solicitor) and Linda (Legal executive) were excellent the whole way through the process. They helped us to navigate the daunting waters of buying our first home. We were extremely happy with their services, they are reliable, professional, experienced and also very friendly and approachable, which was a bonus. We felt that we were in very good hands and would highly recommend.

Ian handled our house sale and we were thrilled with his service. Ian was extremely polite, professional and patient and his colleague Linda was lovely to deal with. Ian contacted us when he had news and always provided advice that was relevant and helpful. Prior to choosing Ian, we had discovered a First Time Buyer's Workshop which Ian was holding. Ian is extremely knowledgeable and helpful and we would 100% recommend himself and his partner to assist us next time.

There is no question that Ian McKenna and the team at O'Donnel McKenna Solicitors know the house buying market inside out. Ian's First Time Buyers workshop was valuable to understand the process, up to closing contracts, Ian and his team gave solid advice and is always available to answer questions and help. They helped us managing all the parties involved making a very difficult process go smoothly. We highly recommended O'Donnel McKenna solicitors.

Highly recommend attending the First Time Buyers workshop that is ran by O'Donnell McKenna Solicitors. My partner and I went along last night expecting a very high-level overview of the process. Instead we got a very very detailed step-by-step guide, from tips on how to deal with banks and how to avoid the many pitfalls. It was definitely worthwhile and best of all, it was free! Any first time buyers out there should consider this essential.

Linda and Ian helped us with the purchase of our first home. They were very professional and helpful with Linda in particular taking many calls from us and never losing patience! Found them to be very transparent regarding fee structure and were able to provide a very comprehensive information pack to guide you through the house buying process which we found very useful as first time buyers Would recommend

I received amazing services from O'Donnell McKenna Solicitor. The main person Ian was so helpful and replied my emails promptly. I also must mention the secretary of the firm Linda. Very nice and helpful lady and you can always call and ask her if you have any questions. I will absolutely recommend them for your work. Fee is very suitable as well. Overall an excellent law firm.

I highly recommend O'Donnel McKenna socilitors. They made the experience of buying a property understandable and easy since the first time I assisted to the first-time buyers workshop they organise until the completion of the purchase of the property. Ian always explained to us any issue that we encountered in detail. Extremely professional, efficient and customer friendly.

Highly recommend O'Donnell Mckenna solicitors. We used their services while purchasing our house, switching mortgage and also while selling our house. Ian's team went above and beyond to help us during all the 3 transactions. Their due diligence is thorough and the process is seamless. Thanks Ian for helping us through all the journeys. Good luck to you and to your team!!!

My Partner and I are first time buyers. A friend recommended ODMK to us. We found them to be very helpful, knowledgeable and efficient. In particular Linda who always dealt with my calls with patience and professionalism. The process itself was at times daunting and Ian guided us through each obstacle with clear, concise direction. I would recommend ODMK to family/friends.

I recently bought my first home by myself and wasn't really sure what to expect, Ian and his team made the process stress free and supported me through every stage. Everything went smoothly and I didn't have any concerns, was hassle free and all the paperwork was completed quickly, highly recommend this team. Special thanks to Linda who was so efficient and organised.

They were very helpful in making our mortgage application simple and they are always available whenever you need them. Ian is really highly recommended and Linda is always their to answer any querries and makes sure there is no delays in the application. Got our keys as i expected because of their dedication and being efficient. Their team is really topnotch!

I went to the first time buyers workshop back in 2019, from that moment Ian had been on hand to help me with any queries I had throughout the home buying journey. Ian and Linda helped me so much with the purchase of my first home and the many questions I had along the way! I wouldn’t hesitate to work with them again. I would give more starts if I could.

We had the great opportunity in having them as our solicitor while buying our first house. The level of attention we received is far above the highest standard I experienced in any other thing I did in Ireland. The above and beyond quote is the best to describe them. I hope more people can be luck enough to work with Ian and Linda. Thank you very much.

Amazing experience with Ian and Linda! Can't recommend them enough as they helped us navigate all the ups and downs of being a first time buyer. They were everything we needed them to be and we couldn't be happier. We took their free first time buyer workshop before we were even thinking of buying a house and that has made all the difference.

I can highly recommend O’Donnell McKenna solicitors. They went above and beyond when dealing with my case. I can not thank enough to Ian and Linda for their service, but also support, kindness, patience and understanding for everything I had to ask on my journey. Keep doing what you doing, you are amazing team! Highly highly recommend!

We first came across Ian at a free mortgage talk a few years ago where he was giving advice to first time buyers, and decided there and then that he was our man to go to when we finally did get around to buying. They couldn't be nicer to deal with, and are always ready to help at a moments notice. I recommend them to anyone who asks!

I would like to thank everyone at O'Donnell McKenna Solicitor for their excellent work, professionalism, kindness and understanding. They were very helpful and supportive in making sure that I acquired my property smoothly! I would highly recommend O'Donnell McKenna Solicitor and would definitely use them again in the future.

I found O Donnell McKenna Solicitors extremely thorough, efficient, easy to deal with and prompt throughout my house buying process. Both Ian (Solicitor) and Linda (PA) were always available and completed each task with excellence and in a timely manner, I have no hesitations in recommending their service to others! Clare

Best property solicitor that you could get. Very efficient and organised in their work. They are very clear about every information that we should know about. Both Ian and Linda who were handling my case did an amazing job. All my colleagues are using their service and would 100% recommend them to anyone in future.

Linda and Ian were super professional and the stand out performer in the house buying process. Their knowledge of how everything worked made it all that bit easier, and you knew you were in safe hands. Would highly recommend their services, and indeed I have already referred people to ODMK. Thank you!

Myself and my partner are first time buyers and we we were referred to Ian McKenna of O'Donnell McKenna Solicitors by our friend. Ian (Solicitor) and Linda (Legal executive) were pretty good the whole way through the process. We are happy with their services, they are reliable and professional.

Ian and Linda were very professional and detailed in dealing with our purchase of property. They were patient in going through our queries thoroughly, very knowledgeable, reassuring and diligent throughout the whole process. Would recommend ODMK to anyone looking for a solicitor!

We were delighted with our experience dealing with O'Donnell McKenna Solicitors for conveyancing. They are hugely experienced and competent in this field and were utterly pleasant, professional and helpful to work with - would definitely be happy to recommend this firm to others.

I used ODMK as a conveyancing solicitor to buy my house. The sale was complex and dragged on for nearly 2 years, but Ian, Linda and all the team were there throughout to do what they could for me. Ian's attention to detail was clear from the start. Couldn't recommend them more!

Highly recommend Ian and Linda from the O'Donnell McKenna Solicitors. I was a first-time buyer and they lead me through the process, very patiently answered all my questions. It was great to know that there is someone looking after me with the best interest in mind.

Ian and his team were a pleasure to work with. Ian’s attention to detail was impeccable. He provided regular comprehensive progress reports. He went over and beyond with regards efficiency and providing advice throughout the whole process. Would highly recommend.

Ian and Linda have been a huge help during the process of buying our home. The process would have been far more stressful if it wasn't for their patience in answering all our questions and explaining everything clearly and in detail.

It’s been one of the best decision I ever made to choose Ian and his team to represent me for my house purchase. Absolutely fantastic service. Linda and Denise in the office have always been very helpful and understanding.

As a first time buyer, I would definitely recommend O'Donnell McKenna Solicitors. They gave me a lot of useful informations about the entire process, little,but very important details I normally wouldn't pay attention to.

Would definitely recommend Ian McKenna as a conveyancing solicitor - himself and Linda brought us through every step of the buying process with plenty of details as to what happens next, invaluable as a first time buyer!

Ian and team have been super helpful to us while buying our first home It's a very complicated and stressy process but they made it a lot easier. We will be relying on them in the future if needed. …
