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.

Excellent Solicitor – Highly Recommended

I cannot thank Kris Buchanan enough for the outstanding work and support throughout my case. I was facing multiple serious driving charges, and from the very beginning Kris handled everything professionally, confidently, and with great attention to detail. This was an extremely stressful situation for me, but Kris kept me informed, reassured, and fought hard on my behalf throughout the entire process. Thanks to his expertise and dedication, the Crown ultimately dismissed the case completely. I’m genuinely grateful for all the hard work, support, and guidance I received. I would highly recommend Kris Buchanan to anyone looking for honest, professional, and effective legal representation. Thank you again for everything.

I made a google search for traffic offence solicitors and scullion law came top of the ten best companies, I was put in contact with kris Buchanan. Kris made it clear from the onset that there was no guaranteeing a positive outcome but that he would do everything in his power to achieve a positive outcome. Communication was by phone ,e mail or in person at the office . Throughout the process he kept me up to date with progress being made. He presented all the information in the court in my defence. He did achieve a positive result. I would highly recommend Scullion Law . Their Success rate is over 95%and the service provided was value for money . The full team at scullion law were very friendly and helpful when needed,

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.
