Great service

I contacted a solicitor with regards to my case . The guy I spoke to was very professional but could not handle my case. He referred me to Andrew McArthur and I assumed he would be equally professional. I was not disappointed.
Andrew was professional efficient and very understanding. This was of great benefit at a time of high stress. I cannot speak highly enough of his advise and support. Thanks Andrew

Can't recommend strong enough

I have been subjected to a very serious criminal case. I was recommended McArthur Solicitors to me, and I spoke to Mr Andrew directly, who has been very kind, active, and on it. His letter was spot on to get the NFA needed.

I hope I don't come across anything like that anymore, but would definitely recommend, and would definitely use again.

Great advice and service

I required swift confidential advice and contacted McArthur Solicitors and spoke to Andrew directly. The answers given to my questions were concise and clear and will absolutely engage with them in future. I felt the fee was very reasonable for the level of engagement provided: Personally I can’t recommend highly enough.

Informed, practical, sensible advice

I contacted McArthur Solicitors after being wrongly accused and arrested.

Andrew McArthur calmly and clearly explained the process and put my mind at rest that my situation would be resolved with no further action by the police. This is exactly what the outcome was.

I felt very reassured by Andrew’s calm and professional approach - exactly what I needed after a stressful ordeal!
