John Quinn
IrelandlawyerMale5.0Global Dominance: 0.00%John Quinn is a solicitor at John M Quinn & Co Solicitors, known for his work in the criminal justice system. He has recently gained attention for launching a High Court challenge against a new criminal legal aid payment model that he claims has 'upended' the existing system. Quinn argues that the new model, which offers a flat fee regardless of the number of court appearances required, infringes upon his right to earn a living and undermines the legal aid framework established by the Criminal Justice (Legal Aid) Act 1962.
