What his clients have to say:-“My first criminal lawyer told me to plead guilty. He said I had no chance and would get about seven years at the Glasgow High Court. I was not happy with that advice and transferred my case to Kilcoyne & Co Solicitors. They never told me that my case was hopeless. I went to trial and was found not guilty at the High Court in Glasgow. Delighted with the result.” Miss. S, Glasgow - Charged with supply of drugs. {more road raffic testimonials} |
