Our Services
We specialise in three key areas of law: Criminal Defence, Child Protection, and Mental Health. Our team of skilled solicitors has a wealth of experience in these fields, and we are committed to providing fearless representation to our clients in various legal forums, including Children's Hearings, Mental Health Tribunals, and Courts.
In the realm of Criminal Defence, our solicitors have an excellent track record of successfully defending clients facing prosecution in the High Court, Sheriff Court, and Justice of the Peace Court. We understand the importance of accessing legal aid, and we are registered with the Scottish Legal Aid Board to provide these services. If you are not entitled to legal aid, we offer flexible payment structures to suit your individual needs.
In the area of Child Protection, we provide expert advice, assistance, and legal representation to parents, children, and relevant persons involved in Children's Hearings, Appeals, and Referrals. We are well-versed in the complexities of the Children's Hearings (Scotland) Act 2011 and are dedicated to ensuring that our clients receive the best possible outcome.
In Mental Health law, we represent patients and named persons at Tribunals across Scotland, providing expert guidance and support throughout the process. We also offer advice and assistance on Permanence Orders, working closely with parents, children, and relevant persons to achieve the best possible outcome.
