Criminal Law                          

Livingstone Brown is one of Scotland's largest criminal defence firms.  On a daily basis, we represent many people charged with criminal offences, from minor speeding charges in the district court, to more serious offences in the sheriff court, all the way up to major crimes such as murder in the high court.  The firm's partners include Gerard Brown, a highly regarded criminal lawyer who was one of the first solicitors in Scotland to gain the special right to appear in the high court. Gerard is also a senior figure in the Law Society of Scotland, and in 2005 he was made a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in recognition of his contribution to the justice system in Scotland.

Livingstone Brown offer a high quality service to all clients, whether the case is legally aided or privately funded.  Clients can be assured of complete confidentiality and discretion.  In addition to representing its own clients, the firm also offers a bespoke service to other firms of solicitors who wish to ensure that their clients receive the best possible service when facing criminal proceedings.

If you are charged with a criminal offence, or even if you think you might be spoken to by the police, it is essential that you get quality legal advice immediately.  A solicitor can advise you of your rights, be present when you are interviewed (in certain cases), and then represent you in court. 

Livingstone Brown offer a 24-hour, 365-day a year service for clients in police custody.  Any calls to our offices outwith normal business hours are automatically routed to the 24-hour service, which is always manned by an experienced solicitor.  The firm will represent clients throughout the country.
