Livingstone Brown is a leading firm of Scottish solicitors, with an unparalleled reputation in all types of criminal work. The Criminal Litigation Practice Unit comprises a large team of specialist criminal defence lawyers, at various levels of experience.
In many instances, the firm’s work begins with a detention: a client being taken into police custody, often for interview. Solicitors provide initial advice to clients, whether by phone or in person, before attending for the interview itself. For many clients, police stations are uncomfortable, alien places, and interviews can be extremely stressful. Having good quality advice and robust support from a solicitor can be crucial.
As the police work round the clock, so do we. Our emergency service, which can be contacted on 0141 429 8166, is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year, including on public holidays.
Our team provides a high quality service from the start of a criminal investigation to its satisfactory conclusion. We explain and guide clients through the initial stages of an enquiry and prosecution, and professionally represent them at all stages of the criminal court process. Where necessary, we can call on in-house solicitor-advocates (who have the right to appear in the High Court of Justiciary, the Criminal Appeal Court and the UK Supreme Court) and a strong network of external counsel. We also have access to a comprehensive range of recognised expert witnesses.
The firm offers both legal aid and competitive private charging arrangements. Criminal allegations often have a major impact on the accused person’s life, and it is essential to get strong and effective representation. Whether the client is a company director facing a fraud allegation, or a young person facing a disorder charge after a football match, we guarantee the best possible service and support.
We are one of the country’s largest criminal defence firms for a reason. To find out more, contact our team on 0141 429 8166 or by completing our online contact form.
