Services
Criminal Defence
We provide comprehensive criminal defence across all Scottish courts, handling cases from initial police investigations to court proceedings. Our expertise covers assault, drug offences, and serious crimes like murder. With over 30 years' experience, we negotiate with the Procurator Fiscal's Office to potentially discontinue cases early, while ensuring clients understand their rights throughout the process.
Road Traffic Law
Our specialist solicitors handle complex road traffic cases including fixed penalties, licence endorsements, and driving disqualifications. We advise on urgent matters like notice of intended prosecution and court citations. We help clients understand their options regarding fines, penalty points, or disqualification, recognising the potential employment and liberty implications of traffic convictions.
Children's Panel Proceedings
We represent children and parents in Children's Reporter referrals and Sheriff Court proceedings. Our solicitors handle compulsory supervision orders, contact arrangements, and child protection matters. We ensure legal aid availability for these sensitive cases and provide early intervention to address social work reports and protect family interests.
Mental Health Tribunals
We represent patients and relatives before the Mental Health Tribunal for Scotland, handling both criminal and civil cases. Our services include home or hospital visits, appeal assistance against detention orders, and curator ad litem appointments. Legal aid funding is automatically available for tribunal proceedings, ensuring accessible representation.
Proceeds of Crime Cases
We defend confiscation orders and civil asset recovery claims under Proceeds of Crime legislation. Our solicitors investigate alleged criminal benefits, instruct forensic accountants when needed, and challenge unlawful asset retention. We advise on urgent matters like seized cash and represent clients in both criminal confiscation proceedings and civil recovery applications by the Scottish Ministers.
