Would anybody have recommendations for a serious solicitor who knows her/his law and would be familiar with the Circuit Court in Dublin? I hear of so many people changing solicitors during cases. Somebody with an upfront, reasonable pricing structure is necessary who can wrap this up sooner rather than later would be important.

If they have a great reputation but are cheaper than Dublin solicitors, would there be any downsides in employing a family law solicitor from outside Dublin for a case in the Dublin Circuit Court? Thank you.
 
Be aware of is the "emotional investment" you have in the process.

If you are not been told what you want to hear then in your eyes the solicitor may be "useless".

The law and "fairness" are not the same.
Fairness is very subjective and is linked to self.

Listen to the advice with your head not your heart.

I went with a solicitor from outside Dublin because he came recommended to me. His good reputation was justified but he pointed out the following downsides. (1) He had to travel to Dublin for court appearances. In many instances that involved him taking the full day off other work. So obviously I was billed for a full day. A more local solicitor might have only had to take half a day off and bill accordingly. (2) He wasn't personally familiar with the judges and barristers in the Dublin area, nor could he recommend any local expert witnesses. In his own area, he had more local knowledge of the personalities involved.
