“Great legal team. Always been good to me and I owe them an awful lot. Wonderful people — Kathleen and Richard especially. Thank you for everything.”

“Had them since George, now his daughter’s in charge — no complaints. They will defend you if it’s defendable, not miracle workers, but never had any issues. In fact twice they went above and beyond the call.”

FAQ
Common questions
Stay calm and do not answer questions without a solicitor present. You are entitled to free legal advice at the police station before and during any questioning, regardless of your financial means.
Call us immediately on 0131 202 6552. We are available 24 hours a day and will attend the police station as quickly as possible.
Most people facing criminal charges in Scotland qualify for some form of Legal Aid. Eligibility depends on your financial circumstances and the seriousness of the case. If you are in custody or being questioned by police, you are entitled to free legal advice automatically, with no means test at that stage.
Contact us and we will assess your position without charge. We never charge privately if you are entitled to public funding. Read more about Legal Aid.
We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. For police station attendances and arrest calls, we respond immediately. For general enquiries, we aim to reply within one working day. For anything urgent, always call rather than email.
We appear in all Scottish criminal courts: the Justice of the Peace Court, Sheriff Court (both summary and solemn proceedings), the High Court of Justiciary, and the Court of Criminal Appeal. We are available for instruction anywhere in Scotland.
If you qualify for Legal Aid, you will never be charged privately. We accept Legal Aid in all qualifying cases and will never ask you to pay privately for representation you are entitled to receive through public funding.
If you do not qualify for Legal Aid, we offer competitive private rates. We will always be transparent about costs at the outset.
Yes. While we are based in Edinburgh, we accept instructions from clients across Scotland and appear regularly in courts throughout the country. Distance is not a barrier to representation.
