Speeding ticket

Excellent service the best money I have ever spent. I do over 30,000 miles per annum and as the roads are now saturated with speed cameras mobile,fixed, and hidden. It's almost impossible to do the job without racking up points. If I get more than 12 I lose my livelihood. Well done in getting these cleared

Urfan was great from start to finish. A very calm and knowledgeable guy. I was impressed that he was always available at the end of the phone or on email and always answered quickly, even out of hours.
Hopefully I won’t have a need to use Urfan again but I wouldn’t hesitate to do so.

Drink Driving Charge

5

My father was facing a drink driving charge from October 2021. I contacted Scullion Law on his behalf as this was very unknown circumstances that my family were facing. I was in contact with both Urfan at first and then Lucy throughout the case. Both of these lawyers were very patient with my father as he was often confused with what was going on throughout this experience. Lucy kept myself informed throughout the case and advised us of the best course of action. She was professional and friendly and kept me to up to date with everything that was going on with my father's case. We only had to attend court on one occasion. Lucy represented my father on all the other occasions which really helped with the stress on myself, my sister and my father at the time. The outcome of the case was the best we could have hoped for and I can't recommend Scullion Law highly enough.

Kept my license

5

Thankyou to everyone a scullion law for all the help and advise given. Prior to using scullion law I was represented by a different solicitors. On the day of the trial I had been told clearly to plead guilty to a dangerous driving charge. I did not want to plead guilty on that charge as it comes with a minimum mandatory 12 suspension if your licence and many more issues along the way. I was not happy in the advise I was given which resulted in me asking the sheriff for more time to seek out professional advise in which he granted me 2 weeks. I immediately called scullion law and I can’t tell you how happy I was I did so. Nothing was at all a problem fir them and even though we had a small period of time until the trial scullion law kept me up to date and reassured that I was in good hands. Overnight I went from a person of no hope of keeping his licence and losing my job as a result to feeling I had someone on my side and willing to put the effort in to save my license. The end resulting in having the dangerous driving charge dropped to a charge of careless driving which resulted in me receiving 5 penalty points and a £250 fine. I can’t tell you how relived I was at the outcome. Once again I would like to thank all at scullion law and a special thanks to Urfan for his professionalism on the day.

Kind regards

Stephen

I recently found myself stuck in a driving offence case, I got referred to scullion law and spoke with Mr Urfan Dar, he gave me the confidence that they will take it on, my case was dealt with miss Lucy McKenna. On the last hearing she couldn’t make it and so Ms Judith Hutchison took over and attended, she came out with a very very good and pleasant outcome ! Very competent and professional I knew I was in safe hands, got the case dismissed. Highly recommend scullion law very professional ppl from the reception desk to the court rooms. Thank you ladies keep up the good work !
