Worth it

I dealt with Kris and was very impressed, I got to keep my license despite things looking very grim. The service isn't cheap, but worth every penny.

1s class service during a highly stressful time

Made me feel like a valued human being, not just a number. Understood my circumstances completely, explained the process to me clearly, kept me informed and updated in a timeously fashion. Stephanie, Kris and Darren looked after me and we won our case. The tenacious work the team at Scullion Law did behind the scenes paid off and I will be forever grateful I contacted Scullion Law. Thank you!

Excellent service

I appointed Kris in relation to a very stressful situation I found myself involved in. Kris was very approachable, knowledgeable, and professional. From start to finish I had an immense amount of trust and respect in him. The outcome was in my favour and I am extremely grateful to Kris and the entire team. I would have no hesitation in recommending this company.

Kris Buchanan at Scullion Law was extremely helpful with my driving conviction. My solicitor in England suggested I work with him. I am very pleased with the outcome of my case. Kris was very thorough in explaining things to me, and put me at ease. I of course hope that i do not need to use this service again, but would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone who finds themselves needing help with driving convictions. Thank you

I had the pleasure of working with Kris Buchanan, who has the upmost knowledge and professionalism with his clients. I felt fully supported throughout the full process and not left in the dark. Kris helped me stay grounded throughout the process and got me the best possible outcome of my case, being not called and keeping my driving license, couldn’t be happier!

I would highly recommend Scullion law for road traffic offences. I opted for the director service, working with Kris Buchanan. He's highly professional, a master at His profession. Always available to answer any questions. I was charged with driving without insurance He got me the best result I could have hoped for, and without me having to set foot in a court room. The crown were persuaded by Kris to treat the matter as “Not Called” Couldn't recommended him any higher! Thanks Kris

Had a situation where I failed to provide a breath sample to the police. Came to scullion law and went for Kris Buchanan. He was absolutely brilliant and managed to find small details within my case and worked very hard which led to me keeping my license. This was done with very little defence and only one witness. He is very experienced and knew how to deal with the judge and explained exactly how the process would go in a clear manner and kept me very calm. I managed to get the best outcome for myself on the day. Would definitely recommend.
