Mr Dar you're a star, excellent representation from an amazing lawyer,thank you so much.
Definitely recommend Scullion Law.

Would like to thank the lovely Charmaine Trainor for solving my query. Charmaine acted professionally and diligently in getting to the bottom of the issue that arose, I'm now very happy to report that the problem is resolved to my satisfaction due to the thoroughness in the work done by Charmaine at customer care. Thanks again.

Anna Mackay recently represented me in a court case that had been a massive stress to both me and my family over the last 18 months.
Anna and her team were proficient, highly contactable, and guided me through a process that was completely new to me.
Anna was excellent on the day and I was acquited of both charges which delighted me. Highly recommend this firm of competent and understanding Solicitors.

From first initial phone call until the verdict of not guilty everyone was professional polite and understanding. My solicitor Michael was outstanding and I highly recommend both Michael and Scullion Law.

Thanks Michael Stewart
Saved my license with minimal points , had to take the hit on a hefty fine due having no witnesses and the other party milking the system and telling lies , pleased and greatful for Micheal’s help and commitment from start to finish,

Never use this company to help purchase a property. I started with them in February, and by the time may came I was still no further forward. Few weeks later they pull out of working on my behalf for still no reason given to this day but still demanding near enough £900 from me for nothing. All my paper work and bank statements where supplied at the start of February. Went to another solicitors and with in 2 weeks all was sorted so seemed to be straight forward enough. Gemma the head of the department is very un professional put in loads of calls for a call back and still nothing. Only way I heard they where chasing me for £900 was when a debt company called me no letter no call nothing.

Stay clear don't put yourself through what I had to.

Scullion represented me in an assault case. I turned myself in so it was a guilty plea from the start, but I still had to navigate false statements from the victim, who saw an opportunity to take revenge by inflating the offence. I thought they negotiated very well with the Sheriff. My lawyer at the first hearing was Michael Stewart. He managed to negotiate the wording of the charge down to something I could agree to. I had a different lawyer for the sentencing hearing -Urfan Dar. It was an annual leave change. Not a problem. The Procurator Fiscal tried to represent the same false embellishments to the Sheriff (a different Sheriff from the first hearing), even though they had been removed from the wording of the complaint. If those embellishments had been taken into account, my sentence might have been harsher. I thought this was the key contribution by Scullion. You need people who are wise to the tricks of the courtroom. I think both Urfan and Michael have the savvy to represent a client well. I had toyed with the idea of saving the fee and not having a lawyer at the sentencing. That would have been a huge mistake. You need a good defence lawyer from start to finish

After receiving 4 high speed driving charges, I contacted Scullion law. I was scared out of my mind when I received driving charges for the first time. Kris made a stressful situation really easy and reassured me even when I was panicking, and kept me updated throughout the process. He was able to help me keep my license with a minimum of points, which gave me a great deal of relief. I am deeply thankful to Kris Buchanan for representing me in court.

how my lawyer

Kris Buchanan Director and my lawyer of scullion law in Hamilton branch He represented me at court and won my case of driving without due care and attention I cant thank him and his team enough they left no stone unturned in gathering my evidence and that was crucial in my case I cant thank him enough Mr Grieve

Highly recommend this company, used them recently for conveyancing. Had amazing customer service from Hazel, she kept me informed at every step, and was absolutely lovely, Connor dealt with the legal side, so professional and made sure everything went smoothly. Fantastic company, made a stressful situation really easy, even when I was panicking.

I used Scullion Law during my first time buying a property in Scotland. During the entire process they communicated with myself very well and were contactable throughout.

However, I felt they weren't very transparent with myself, especially when it came to things that would result in extra costs. Which was a shock to me as one of their key selling points on their website is that they try to be a transparent, open and honest with the process as it is forever changing and can be very challenging when buying especially if you haven't been through the process before.

Not long after my offer was accepted by the seller I was asked by my solicitor to give a 'proposed' move in date. I asked what the limits were for this and what sort of dates I could pick, they then informed me that anything less than four weeks would cost extra and anything longer than eight weeks would cost extra. Due to timings with holidays and such I choose around five and half weeks. However, when picking this date I wasn't informed that this would then become my fixed move in date and if this was missed I would be required to pay more. Even after picking the date I wasn't told that it had now turned into a fixed date and was no longer 'proposed'. I am sure anyone who has purchased a property in the past will know that things are often delayed and this can't be helped. My solicitor knew that my mortgage case was more challenging than the normal and therefore, meant that it was slightly delayed however, I was still within the original eight weeks once everything went through. At the time when we were passing the original 'proposed' move in date I was pushed into a corner and told if I didn't sign to say we were out of scope and therefore required to pay more at the end no more work would be done on my case. As you can imagine missing the date we thought we were getting into the flat in was frustrating enough for us as it meant needing to rent storage lockers and such. However, with the addition of now knowing that we would be charged extra at the end of the sale just created added and unwanted stress during this time. However, I took the outlook of how much can this extra really be?

Well at the end once the sale was complete I was sent the fee's that I had to pay. To put this into context my original quote for all legal fee's, ID checks etc I was just over £1,000. The extra I needed to pay for the elven working days over the original 'proposed' move in date was just below £2,000, 200% of the original quote, resulting in my cost overall being £3,000. My understanding of the word 'proposed' is that it is something that can change. So to be charged an extra 200% for missing the 'proposed' date was extremely frustrating and even though I thought their overall customer service was good, I will most certainly not be using Scullion Law again and would NOT recommend to anyone to use them. I do not believe for a second I am the only case where they have done this and believe with the way things go in buying houses they will have the opportunity to do this often. To add to the frustration when I was sent the final documentation to review it all still have the original move in date on it and I had to inform my solicitor to change this so the question is raised of what work did they really do for that extra 200%??

Myself and my family have used Scullion law for years and have been helpful, professional and thorough. Will use for all future transactions

Awful ‘representation’ from start to finish. Would have had a better result if I had represented myself. Go elsewhere. Oh and don’t expect a call back from them either.

Horrendous experience with one of the senior partners. Lost case due to inadequate preparation, zero communication and forced to pay up front. Took case to another legal firm and they blew us away with their amazing attitude and genuine concern for the well-being of the people involved.

I have used Scullion Law three times when buying houses. The team have always been incredibly friendly and helpful and answer all the questions I have had. They are really quick to get back to you and will go above and beyond to help. I strongly recommend them to anyone and cannot see past them.

This company are unprofessional, uncaring and unethical,an awful experience in settling my late father's estate.
Gaining onfirmation of death is form filling, you can do yourself and it doesn't need to cost, that and the sale of a 1 bed flat, average conveyancing fees at the time were £1046... total charged by Scullion, almost £13,000 and I have no idea why. They charged for sending an email withing me a merry Christmas, charged me for reading e.mails they didn't reply to and for hanging about there waiting room.
They initially held back 2,000 from the sale proceeds as small charges still to be applied, the balance would be refunded in a few days we were told.. then silence, all attempts to contact was ignored and charged for. Eventually culminating in me receiving a bill from a debt collector for almost £1200, no invoice or payment instruction from Scullion or even any notification of a debt owing.
Don't trust, don't engage, don't hire. AVOID.

Having read the reply, I would dispute every word of it. Costs were never explained or discussed beforehand, nobody tried to engage with me at all to find a solution and to say the use of a debt collector was a last resort is laughable, not once one was I told I owed money and never once received correspondence detailing the amount due and payment method.

I am not a Scullion LAW's client and I am a seller. I dealt with a buyer who chose Scullion LAW. They participated in the closing date and won. I accepted their offer and they withdrew their offer with no explanation within 3 working days. I appreciate Scullion LAW represent their own client but my experience should be taken into account by perspective sellers who consider offers made by Scullion Law.

In my opinion - total scam pricing!!

I'm only one week in the conveyancing process with this organisation and I already regret choosing them.

The seller accepted my offer just last week, and this law firm are only giving me two weeks to get my mortgage offer in place. If I don't get my mortgage offer within two weeks, they're charging me £175 + VAT late fee.

Who gets a mortgage offer within two weeks of making an application???

In in my opinion, this is obviously a trap to charge more fees. I strongly advise anyone who's looking for a property solicitor to avoid this one.

Scullion Law made my life a lot easier when I received traffic charges. They took control & the Lawyer, Anna kept me in the loop & was very professional. Would highly recommend.
