Criminal law in Scotland operates within its own framework, with proceedings in sheriff courts and the Court of Session, prosecuted by the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service. A solicitor in this area advises on criminal proceedings from outset to disposition, drafts legal submissions, negotiates with the procurator fiscal, and represents clients at bail hearings, preliminary diets, and trials, using Scottish terminology and procedures.

“Lucy Western was my duty solicitor when I was arrested, and I couldn’t have asked for better representation. She was professional, friendly, and supportive from the very beginning. She listened carefully, gave me clear and honest advice, and worked hard to ensure my case was properly presented, including arguing that I had acted in self-defence. She kept me updated throughout the process, explained everything in a way I could understand, and was always reassuring during what was a very stressful time. I always felt that she genuinely cared about achieving the best possible outcome for me. I would highly recommend Lucy to anyone looking for an excellent solicitor. Thank you again for all your hard work.”

Works with Ruta Mikailaite and 4 more
“Ruta was very consistent and attentive. She takes her role very seriously and is always determined to achieve a good outcome. I can safely say she made sure everything was done perfectly, she would go over everything a few times so she has it perfect. She'll be up at night studying your case! A trial or investigation can be very stressful and a dark time but Ruta always managed to relieve my stress by explaining the law to me. Due to her amazing work and expertise, I was acquitted two Fridays ago.”

Paris Phillips-Morris
Solicitor
“I cannot thank Maya, Paris, Hannah, and barrister Molly enough for the incredible support and representation they provided throughout my case. From the very beginning, Maya's professionalism, expertise, and reassurance gave me confidence that I was in the best possible hands. Her assistants, Paris and Hannah, were always helpful, responsive, and kept me informed every step of the way. Their communication and attention to detail were outstanding. The team arranged for Molly to represent me in court, and she was absolutely exceptional. Thanks to her thorough preparation, professionalism, and strong advocacy, she successfully presented my exceptional hardship case and helped me avoid a driving ban for totting up offences. The outcome has had a hugely positive impact on my life, and I will always be grateful for her efforts. The entire team demonstrated genuine care, dedication, and expertise throughout what was a very stressful situation. I would highly recommend this firm to anyone seeking legal assistance. Their knowledge, professionalism, and commitment to achieving the best possible outcome for their clients truly set them apart. Thank you again to Maya, Paris, Hannah, and Molly for everything you did for me. Your hard work and support were greatly appreciated.”

“Can’t thank Holly, Jess and the whole Eventum team enough for their support, professionalism and expertise. They have been there supporting our family from the beginning of the ordeal and helped us through an incredibly difficult time. Couldn’t have asked for better representatives. Can’t recommend them highly enough. Great people.”

“I have never used a solicitor before and I was very wary of who I should use and if it would cost me a fortune. I have to say I was more than impressed from the service that I received from Rachel. It was a very sensitive issue and she showed empathy and support throughout keeping me fully informed every step of the journey. She showed no judgement and made me feel at ease throughout. Every time I contacted her it was never too much trouble to speak to me and show empathy. The cost was more than value for money especially when other solicitors were charging ridiculous prices for a service. I would 100% recommend Rachel and SlaterHeelis. You not only achieved a positive outcome but also gave me my life back. Thank you”
