About Us

First Step Consult was founded by retired solicitor Andrew Dillon. Its primary aim is to provide fast, effective and affordable advice across a broad range of issues including legal, social and economic. Andrew Dillon has practised as a solicitor since the early nineteen seventies and has run successful practices in the west of Ireland, Dublin and laterally in Cork since 1986.

During his legal career he’s worked in conveyance, commercial & company law and litigation. He has been involved in several high profile legal actions which effectively changed the law in a number of fields.

"The practice of seeking advice from a trustworthy local professional has largely died out but First Step Consult is revitalising the custom.", Andrew Dillon

First Step Consult sprang from Andrew’s regular encounters early on in his career with people in one kind of difficulty or another, looking for a bit common-sense advice, a second opinion or a just a listening ear. The practice of seeking advice from a trustworthy local professional had largely died out but now Andrew wants to revive the custom. He worries that people are sitting on problems that get progressively worse over time - they’re reluctant to take the legal route because of the costs yet don’t know what to do next. Sometimes legal advice is what’s needed but often it’s not.

That’s where First Step Consult comes in. Andrew will discuss the problem, issue or difficulty in an impartial way and suggest the most beneficial route to sorting it out. First Step Consult gives Andrew the opportunity to pass on the insights and wisdom gained from three decades of working in a mixed legal practice and from his life-skills in general.

To date First Step Consult clients have been unanimously happy with the service. First Step Consult might be all it takes to fix some things but if more measures are needed First Step will set the client on the most direct and affordable path.
