Criminal Law

O’Neill Defence is based in the heart of Edinburgh’s city centre but travel all over Scotland providing legal assistance to our clients. We represent our client in the High Court, Sheriff Court, and the Justice of the Peace Court, so rest assured whatever with or wherever you are charged with a crime, we can help.

The first time a person is spoken to by the police can be a terrifying experience and one, where people often have no idea what to do. The most important thing to do is to seek legal advice before you speak to anyone. At O’Neill Defence, we can attend at police stations with you if you are asked to come in for an interview and can provide 24-hour advice on the telephone if you are arrested. Our solicitors have attended numerous police interviews and can advise on the correct steps to take to protect your yourself in any situation.
