Criminal Court

Whether it is a minor road traffic incident or a serious crime, our Criminal court solicitors are respected throughout Scotland. They pride themselves on their knowledge and experience. We provide client representation at all levels, from District Court and Sheriff Court to the High Court and Court of Appeal.

Relationships

Our solicitors appear regularly at local courts; this means that they have strong working relationships with and hold the respect of, many Sheriffs and Justices of the Peace. Our solicitors also enjoy a healthy professional relationship with the many local Procurator Fiscals and their Deputes. Such relationships have been built up over many years and the mutual trust and respect built facilitates discussion, negotiation where appropriate, and resolution for our clients.

Expertise

Our Criminal court solicitors have over 50 years' experience in criminal defence work. Their experience enables them to advise and represent clients to the very highest standard in all Courts and permits them to secure the services of the most respected Criminal Advocates.

Philosophy

We appreciate that being interviewed by the Police and/or facing a criminal court appearance can be a traumatic and, for many, an unfamiliar experience. We offer a personal and attentive yet professional service. We ensure that our clients understand what is happening in their case and take great care to explain their rights and choices as clearly and simply as possible.

Legal Aid

We are pleased to offer Criminal Legal Aid. We appreciate that many clients are unable to fund their defence without causing hardship to themselves or their family.
