A couple were advised by their GP to make a complaint to the Law Society about their solicitor after he was identified as the cause of stress and anxiety that required them to receive medical treatment.

Earlier this month Ronan O’Brien, of Ronan O’Brien & Co Solicitors in Cavan, was suspended by the High Court after a Law Society disciplinary committee found he had been dishonest in his practice.
