"Well written account of the injustice perpetrated against an innocent man aided and abetted by the Irish legal profession to steal this elderly man's money from him. The solicitor should be charged and jailed." "This is a very sad case of an elderly man being cheated by the law. It's very detailed and definitely worth a read, cases like this abound in Ireland, where people will behave in truly shameful manner where land is concerned."

People should read it and stand up against FG cowards and Bullies." "This type of practice is unacceptable and must undergo a radical review and renewal. Irish people, be they farmers or academics (one doesn't exclude the other) trust these kind of professions to represent their clients interests.

WHY I WROTE THIS BOOK Michael Gavin of Dundonnell, Taughmaconnell, Ballinasloe, Co. Roscommon, Farmer, Bachelor, was born in 1932. His story highlights the injustice and financial elder abuse that is prevalent in the Irish legal system today. The Solicitors (Lawyers) the very ones who you would expect to uphold the law, as far as I am concerned serve themselves first and foremost. SUMMARY Michael Gavin and his brother Pat lived together all their lives over 70 years in their humble home Dundonnell, Taughmaconnell in south Roscommon. After Pat died intestate on 10th October 2005, Michael Gavin continued farming and caring for the farm animals as he had always done. The Department of Agriculture appointed Michael Gavin herd keeper for the animals after his brother's death. Robert Marren Solicitor refused to award Michael compensation from the grant moneys paid down from the department. If Michael Gavin did not continue the farming of the land then the estate would not be entitled to claim the Entitlements. Michael Gavin offered to buy the farm from the next of kin beneficiaries, but they would agree to nothing and matters came to a head when under the guidance of Tony McLynn Solicitor Athlone they summoned Michael to the High Court in Dublin in an effort to sell the house along with the farm, making out that they would have difficulty selling the farm on its own. Their Solicitor Tony McLynn of T&N McLynn Solicitors, Athlone was well aware that Michael had a right to reside in the family home for the rest of his days as per his fathers will, but that did not prevent them squandering the Estate Assets. Three days in total were spent in the High court, the first of which they did not attend, the second they spent in a waiting room arguing among themselves and on the phone to other beneficiaries..
