Disorganised and unprofessional

1

On the day of court John didn’t attend and didn’t even know what I was pleading he sent another lawyer that didn’t know anything about the case and couldn’t even pronounce my second name. I am very disappointed with the way the case was handled and feel very let down

Sexual Assault.

5

I am a joiner and went to a flat to give a quote regarding a job. The next day I was flabbergasted when my boss phoned me and said the police arrived and said the female claimed I sexually assaulted her. I have a wife and a young child and my family were in a state of shock. I contacted John kilcoyne solicitor after much consideration and hesitation on what solicitor to engage. The service provided was outstanding from the police interview to the eventual trial. I had to instruct two expert witnesses one being a DNA expert. The trial was conducted by John kilcoyne and the performance was outstanding. I was found Not Guilty.

Historical Sexual Abuse.

5

My life was turned upside down in 2020. I was in a reationship with two children. The police turned up and said they wanted to question me about sexual offences from 20 years ago. At that time I was a teenager. It transpired three of my cousins, who were considerably younger than me, had made these false historical allegations. I immediately thought that this was a family fued and they were in collusion in relation to the sexual assault allegations. I knew I required the best lawyer in this area to deal with my case. After much consideration I chose John Kilcoyne & Co. The service provided was exceptional and from the very start exstensive enquires began. I had to wait for over 2 years for the trial to take place. I knew a guilty verdict would result in a definite prison sentence. I would lose my partner and children for a significant number of years. The performance in court was exceptional and I think the jury did have concerns that the complainers had colluded. As my counsel said if you get 3 quotes from tradesman and they are all the same price it would suggest collusion. The relief when the jury came back with a not guilty verdict was indescribable. Myself and my family owe our life to this Firm of Solicitors.

Date Rape.

5

I meet up with a girl online. One night she contacted me and asked me to meet her in glasgow city centre. She was intoxicated when I met her and we went back in a taxi to my flat. She was all over me and we had consensual sex. I found out from her she had recently spilt from her ex. To my utter astonishment the police turned up the next day saying she had made a rape allegation. It transpired after she left my flat she contacted her ex to say she had been raped. I appeared in court with the Duty Solicitor as this whole process was alien to me. I knew I required an excellent lawyer and found John Kilcoyne & Co. Right from the start I knew I had chosen the correct lawyers. I spoke to counsel and was comforted,as I knew, I was in the hands of experts in this area. The preparation of the case was excellent. Expert witnesses were sourced. At the trial everything fell perfectly into place and was concluded with an outstanding Jury speech. This is the Firm of Solicitors you need on your side in a rape case.

Two Historical Rape Charges.

5

I was interviewed in 1995 for a false allegation a 15 year old girl made against me for an alledged rape. The police interviewed me at that time and no further charges were brought. To my horror in 2019 a toxic allegation was made by a family member. I am unsure if the family member was privy to the allegation in 1995. Due to the previous allegation I was told the PF could prosecute me under the moorov doctrine. I appeared from custody and spent 9 days on remand in prison. I changed my lawyer to John Kilcoyne when I was in prison due to a recommendation. John at the next hearing secured bail for me. I had to wait almost three years for the trial due to covid. The trial lasted 7 days and the court representation was exceptional and the Jury acquitted me on all charges. My nightmare is over thanks to John Kilcoyne & Co.

Delighted with the result.

5

My first lawyer told me to plead guilty. He said I had no chance and would get about seven years at the High Court. I was not happy with that advice and transferred my case to John Kilcoyne & Co. They never told me that my case was hopeless. I went to trial and was found not guilty at the High Court in Glasgow.

Sexual Assault.

5

I went out with a friend on a Friday night in Glasgow city centre. I bumped into two girls and they came back to my flat in a taxi with my friend. Everything was fine and we had drinks and I was on very friendly terms with one of the girls. To my utter amazement it transpired after the girls left the flat an allegation of a sexual assault was falsely made. I was provided with the Duty lawyer in court. My family did research and enquires. I opted for John Kilcoyne. I waited almost a year for the trial. John Kilcoyne conducted the trial and picked out a number of discrepancies in the girls stories and the fact they had both taken drugs. John Kilcoyne’s speech to the jury really put home the defence position that the girls stories simply did not make sense. The immense difficulty I had was my friend had left the country and I could not trace him as a defence witness. It was the two girls word against mine and I was a foreign national on a visa. John managed to get round this and despite two eye witnesses the jury came back with a not proven verdict.
