Our criminal lawyers’ motto:
“It is better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer.”
William Blackstone, as expressed in his seminal work Commentaries on the Laws of England, published in the 1760s.
In Scotland, you are innocent until proven guilty. And proving someone guilty in a Court of Law is not as easy as you might think. To prevent innocent people being convicted a strict set of rules and procedures govern criminal trials. These rules and procedures are there to protect you. There is no stage that is too early or too late to seek legal advice if you consider yourself to be in trouble. In fact, the earlier you get the best criminal lawyers Glasgow on board, the more likely you are to avoid mistakes at the beginning of proceedings that can come back to haunt you later if the matter proceeds to court. Our tactic is that “the best way to win a trial is not to have a trial at all.” – We attempt to defeat a prosecution case before it even gets to trial.
A clear history of successful outcomes
What does it mean to win in a criminal case? Each case is unique. In some situations, success means taking the case to trial and fighting for a not guilty verdict. In others, it can involve pushing to reduce the charges and penalties you face by negotiating a favourable plea bargain with the prosecution. We will provide you with an assessment regarding the strengths and weaknesses of your case and your specific risks of conviction and punishment. This will allow you to make a fully informed decision about the best way to proceed and how to obtain the best possible outcome. John Kilcoyne & Co. understands how to get the best possible outcome, no matter what route you take, and we have the case results to prove it.
