Solicitor Sean O’Reilly of Louth, Ireland; lying loser

The Law Society of Ireland presented Sean T. O’Reilly with a law license in 1994 after he graduated from Queen’s University School of Law.

The Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal found Sean guilty of engaging in the following misconduct.

• Misled his clients by issuing to them a cash account indicating that he had settled their actions with the Bank of Ireland for €6,000 and with Bank of Ireland Finance for €6,000, when in fact those settlements were for €5,000 each
• Misled his clients by advising them that the settlement reached with Bank of Ireland Credit Card Services was €1,800, when in fact that settlement was €1,200
• Failed to explain the costs situation to his clients or to issue a section 68 letter in a timely manner or at all
• Until challenged by his clients, Sean wrongfully withheld the difference between the actual settlement amount of €5,000 in two cases and €1,200 in a third case and the amount advised to his client of €6,000 in two cases and €1,800 in the third case

As a direct consequence of his misconduct, the enablers for Solicitor Misfits sitting on the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal punished Sean by gifting him with a complimentary censure and fined in the amount of €5,000.

As we speak (ca. July 2020), Sean practices with Sean T. O’Reilly Solicitors at Bantry House, 2/3 Jocelyn Street, Dundalk, in Louth, Ireland.
