In Scotland, criminal defence operates within a distinct system. The accused is represented in solemn or summary proceedings, typically guided by the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service prosecutions but defended by a solicitor (and sometimes a solicitor advocate). Proceedings occur in sheriff courts or the High Court of Justiciary, with pre-trial disclosure, witnesses, and defences tailored to Scottish criminal procedure, and appeals to the Sheriff Appeal Court or Inner House.
“From the moment I spoke to Lily about my arrest, she listened intently and allowed me to discuss the situation out in full before she made some suggestions, before we talked about fees. I wanted someone who knew the law inside out and she immediately recommended Jacqui. Looking at her bio and her experience, I knew I was in safe hands. From our first formal meeting, through to the 2nd interview stage she was there supporting me and guiding me through my case. Her assistant (Lily) was equally supportive and responsive to emails and calls.
Before the 2nd interview with the police, Jacqui explained what was going to happen and what questions might arise from the information provided by the police. Her guidance and expert view put my mind at ease, and her friendly personality when I met her at the police station helped ease my tension. By the end of the police interview, she assured me that it would be highly unlikely that something would come of this.
Few months on, she was spot on and I cannot thank Jacqui and Lily enough for supporting me through the hardest time of my life. Thank you both.”

“I instructed Winstons to assist me in a CiCA application. Keertan and Heidi made it a stress free process. The communication was amazing and all conversations were done in a sensitive and compassionate way. The knowledge and advice I received was comprehensive but helped me understand each stage of the process. I needed an out of time waiver and was so grateful that they achieved this and I received and award that accounted for all of the offences. I could not recommend them enough. Thank you so much for your help.”

“Had 2 court appearances where I was represented by Mr Scully, while the court appearances themselves were short and simple, outside of the courtroom Mr Scully was extremely helpful in explaining all the necessary details in a way that I could easily understand,
the previous solicitor for this case, Mr Walker, often explained things that would leave me almost just as clueless as before (though this isn’t to say Mr Walker isn’t a great solicitor, as he represented me at the police station and was extremely helpful in that situation)
I would like to thank Mr Scully for helping me with this situation in court and explaining things perfectly for me, as well as being very kind and respectful.”

“Wasn’t an easy in and till date I’ve been struggling to get of the trauma as the experience was all new to me. First thing first to thank for his intervention and his vindication towards the case proving me innocent of the allegation. Secondly to the solicitor so backed me up during the case, I do appreciate and I’m highly grateful 🙏”
