Declan McSorley
Declan is one of the most recognised solicitor in South Wales. He is best described by his clients.
“Declan is a highly skilled and conscientious criminal law lawyer. Operating in what is often an emotive, highly charged and complex field of law, he has a rare gift of being able to simplify the most complex cases whilst being completely empathetic to and driven by his clients’ needs. If you need a real tactician to help guide you through a case, providing sound, practical and commercial advice and guidance then I recommend him above all others.”
“I would like to commend Mr McSorley for the sensitivity and care with which he handled my case which although a small and everyday matter in relative terms, he gave very careful consideration to, and knowledge of, my particular set of circumstances and showed real insight into my problems. Mr McSorley’s sincerity and integrity shone through clearly to me as did his obvious skill. I was definitely not made to feel like just another legal aid case and the final judgement was the best possible outcome for me.”
