MM Halley Solicitors was founded by Martin Michael (Maxie) Halley, who qualified as a solicitor in 1932. After completing his apprenticeship with H.D. Keane, he opened doors for business at 22A Georges Street in Waterford. He had one secretary at the time.
By 1946, the practice had relocated to 5 Georges Street, Waterford and Maxie, was advising clients on a wide range of legal issues. He showed particular expertise in litigation and conveyancing matters for over 50 years. He was joined by his two sons, Gerry and Emmet, in 1969 and 1977 respectively and remained in the office until the early nineties, working in a consultancy capacity during latter years. The practice moved to its new modern offices at Presentation House on the Slievekeale Road in June 2009.

What Our Clients Say
★★★★★
I have used MM Halley as my solicitors for a few years now and I can’t speak highly enough of their professionalism and dedication. Richard and Jean have always been on hand to give me invaluable advice and answer any questions I might have. I would highly recommend them. Yvette on the front desk has always been very helpful when contacting the office in relation to making appointments or any other business. Thanks to the team for all your help.
Seán M. ★★★★★
We have dealt with Frank twice over the last year for a house sale as well as completing our Wills. He is so helpful and friendly and had such efficient communication during all our dealings with him. He makes everything seem so easy/doable and we have only had all positive experiences in our dealings with him. Would highly recommend Frank for anyone seeking a very helpful solicitor.
Elaine O. ★★★★★
I would highly recommend MM Halley & Son Solicitors to anyone seeking knowledgeable, caring and professional legal representation. Their expertise and dedication helped us achieve a successful outcome, and they made a difficult and emotional situation much easier to navigate. We always felt listened to, supported, and reassured.
Michelle K. ★★★★★
MM Halley & Sons is a firm that has demonstrated exceptional professionalism when dealing with my case. Richard, in particular, listened intently to the details of my case with a genuine compassion and with an understanding that I found lacking in previous interactions concerning matters of litigation. My case was dealt with promptly and with regular updates by his wonderfully warm and friendly staff. I’d highly recommend this company for any person/s seeking a reliable, experienced, and competent legal professional. I wish them continued success and longevity in matters of litigation.
Paul W. ★★★★★
