Services
Criminal Defence
We provide comprehensive criminal defence representation across Scottish courts. Our solicitors specialise in handling cases from initial police investigations through to High Court trials. With expertise in assault, drug offences, and serious crime cases, we work to achieve case discontinuations through early fiscal negotiations while ensuring clients understand their rights throughout proceedings.
Road Traffic Law
Our road traffic law specialists handle complex motoring offences including disqualifications and penalty notices. We advise on fixed penalties, court citations, and licence endorsements, helping clients understand their options. We prioritise urgent consultations to prevent employment or liberty issues arising from driving-related charges.
Children's Panel Proceedings
We represent families in children's panel hearings and sheriff court referrals. Our solicitors handle compulsory supervision orders, contact arrangements, and child protection proceedings. We ensure parents and children receive legal aid representation while advising on social work reports and tribunal appeals.
Mental Health Tribunals
Our team appears before the Mental Health Tribunal for Scotland in civil and criminal cases. We represent patients and relatives regarding detention orders, emergency admissions, and treatment plans. We provide home and hospital visits while assisting with curator ad litem appointments and tribunal appeals.
Proceeds of Crime
We defend confiscation orders and civil asset recovery cases under Scottish legislation. Our solicitors investigate financial aspects with forensic accountants, challenge fiscal applications, and advise on seized assets. We represent clients in both post-conviction confiscation cases and civil recovery proceedings before the Court of Session.
