Scullion Law (Anna McKay)

5

I could not recommend Scullion Law enough. Anna MacKay who has been dealing with my case has been exceptional. Her highly professional approach has meant I have felt supported and well informed at every step of the proceedings. Aimee Urquhart had also been assisting with my case and has been a massive help during this process and court proceedings, always there for any information or to answer questions i was unsure about helping to ease my mind. Thank you, Barry

Cool, calm and collected - Highly recommended

5

I was recently represented by Anna MacKay on a complex and very sensitive case which involved a lot of extended family as witnesses and historical events which put our memories to the test.
From the very beginning, Anna was very professional and quick to understand the intricate web of Family relationships involved. Anna managed the unexpected changes through out the case and handled it very professionally. Her amazing belt and braces approach, allowed her and the team to pivot at a moments notice. Communication was seamless with her team namely Aimee Urquhart.
Thanks to her diligent efforts, we won the case and was found not guilty.

I cannot recommend Anna highly enough. If you are looking for someone who combines legal excellence with a compassionate touch and ability to adapt on their feet, look no further.

Case handled impeccably - I can't thank Anna enough.

5

Anna supported me throughout a drawn out case beginning in January 2023 and completed this Feb with a total discharge. I was beyond happy with Anna’s support throughout the case. She handled a sensitive background impeccably and I felt like she genuinely cared throughout the process. She was reassuring, and incredibly competent and answered all of my questions throughout the process. I'm beyond grateful to Anna for all of her support and guidance throughout the entire case and I really can't thank her enough for everything over the period I worked with her. I'd recommend her to anyone who needed any legal support and whilst I hope it's not a repeat purchase (!), I'd reach out to Anna again straight away if I ever did need any legal assistance again.

Anna defended me to a not guilty for a section 3 and BoP that I was falsely accused of.

She was professional and understanding whilst being completely honest and realistic in what possible outcomes may come. She understood the difficulties and stress that my family and I were going through and what was coming. She mitigated these excellently.

I will be forever grateful to her for what she done. An absolute life saver and a consummate professional.

Thanks you.

Professional experience and good result

5

My experience with Anna was smooth and professional from start to finish. The communication remained consistent throughout the process, and while there was CCTV of my case, I was given the lowest possible charge, with no penalty other than a record. Most importantly, I have been able to continue with my studies and work without any reverberations. Highly recommend.

Glowing recommendation for Anna at Scullion Law

5

I was in my opinion, rather harshly charged with a Section 38.
I was sceptical about hiring a lawyer, but after speaking with friends and family, was recommended to try Scullion law as they are rated the best in Glasgow for Criminal defence.
Anna was assigned to my case, and from my first dealings with Anna, I was almost immediately put at ease and given peace of mind with how things would proceed.
Both Anna and Shaun (My initial contact and Client Care Specialist)kept in touch with me in the period leading up to my case, and I was constantly reassured and given confidence that I could achieve the outcome I desired.
I met Anna at the court and made final agreements on how to proceed for my case.
Anna discussed elements of my case with the prosecutor and agreed certain mitigations.
In court Anna represented me very thoroughly and professionally, and I was rewarded with the result I needed to proceed with my life as it is.
I can't thank Anna enough, or praise her highly enough for her handling of my case.

I would absolutely recommend Anna for anyone suffering in similar circumstances to myself. She is dedicated, knowledgeable, thorough and professional, and very personable. Within the court she was very confident, assured and respectful.

I received a first class service, delivered perfectly from start to finish.

i would definitely recommend scullion law

5

I would definitely recommend scullion.
In probably the hardest times of my life after being accused of horrible accusations and being so afraid of what might happen to me. My lawyer Anna Mackay guided me to an outcome that could of been a lot worse managing to remove the majority of the accusations against me and achieving an outcome that gave me the platform to move on with my life. I found Anna to be down to earth easy to talk to about sensitive subjects and never once felt like I was being judged, and very professional. I would like to give a special mention to Aimee Urquhart who was very kind and supportive and was always just a phone call away.
Thank you Anna and Aimee

Wow! After being unfairly charged with a offence, I approached Scullions for help on how to approach it. Anna McKay dealt with my case and after, what seemed a perilous situation with the courts, managed to resolve the situation and get a warning, rather than a criminal conviction.

I was very nervous and very concerned, Anna was great, clam, and very understanding.

Genuinely cannot believe the outcome we got!

Thank you Anna, and the team at Scullions.

Great company and staff. Guided me through a difficult situation with the police. The case was dismissed before being even heard. This was due to Scullions expertise and their excellent solicitor Anna MacKay's experience.
