About
City Law Solicitors

City Law Solicitors is a small Dublin law firm built on personal service, clear communication and steady support.

Clients deal directly with Sonya from the first call to the final signature, with no juniors or layers in between. Our office in Artane offers a warm, calm space for conversations that matter, and we continue to see long-standing clients in Ballyfermot by appointment.

Our Story

City Law Solicitors was founded after Sonya spent more than 20 years working with families and property owners in Ballyfermot.

Six years ago, she set up her own practice so clients could receive a personal, hands-on service from an experienced solicitor who knows them and their situation. The firm has grown steadily since then, driven by loyal clients and word of mouth. Over time, the practice expanded beyond the local area, and Sonya recently moved the main office to Artane.

The goal is to serve the growing community in North Dublin while continuing to support long-term Ballyfermot clients. The new office reflects the tone of the business: warm, neutral and calm, with plenty of space for private discussions. Community support has always been important to Sonya. City Law Solicitors is a proud sponsor of Clontarf GAA and has contributed to local schools and charities, including the solar panel project at St Brigid’s Girls’ School. These connections reflect the firm’s focus on being a trusted part of the area it serves.

Who We Help

We work with people who want a solicitor who listens, takes time to explain things clearly and manages every detail properly.

Many of our clients are buying or selling a home, managing the estate of a loved one, preparing an Enduring Power of Attorney or dealing with a family matter. Others come to us for leases, transfers or business property work. Clients appreciate the continuity of speaking with the same person throughout their case. Whether the issue is straightforward or sensitive, we aim to make the process steady, manageable and free of unnecessary complexity. Our work also includes helping elderly clients plan ahead, supporting families during difficult times and guiding first-time buyers through their property purchase. Every client receives the same level of attention and care, no matter how large or small the matter.
