A lady (name and phone number supplied) called our office recently to thank NewsTalk and B.P.O'Reilly & Co for information on finding a Legal Costs Accountant to resolve disputes over legal bills.
In a previous edition of "The Legal Column" we had dealt with a listener's query about a case he had lost against a Local Authority in which costs had been awarded against him. We recommended that the listener should consult a Legal Costs Accountant to look at the bill and cut it down if possible (here is the link for the full question and answer http://www.bporco.ie/live/newstalk/742.html ). During the programme, Legal Costs Accountant Dermot Dempsey Solicitor, director of DFG Legal Costs Accountants called the programme to offer his services free and helped the listener resolve the issues and did not charge a fee.
The lady who called our office said that she had come across the item on this website and consulted Dermot Dempsey with an equally successful result and asked us to thank him on the programme which we were happy to do. And we add our thanks to Dermot and his firm DFG for helping both these NewsTalk listeners and remind listeners that DFG can be contacted at:
