Lindsay Solicitors
Lindsay Solicitors was founded in 1994. We are a general court law firm, with most of our work being carried out in criminal law and family law. We have the qualifications and experience to advise or represent you in any court dealing with Scots law, whether your case is in the Justice of the Peace Court, the Sheriff Court, the High Court, the Court of Session or even the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom or the European Court.

We also carry out legal aid work if you are eligible for legal aid. Alternately, our monthly payment plans make legal fees more manageable for our private clients.
Services
Due to the growth in the practice, we made the move to a new purpose-designed office in 2014, so that we have the space and resources to continue to look after our clients in the way they have come to expect.

All of which means Lindsay Solicitors has easier access, new and improved communications equipment and infrastructure and enhanced IT facilities and links, while still retaining the prestigious Buccleuch Street address in our Grade 2 listed building in the heart of the Georgian architecture of the commercial centre of Dumfries.We like the paradox of the brand-new contained within the traditional.
Ranald Lindsay is the founding partner of Lindsay Solicitors. He set the practice up in 1994. Ranald was educated at the University of Glasgow where he obtained his Law degree in 1983 and Diploma in Professional Legal Practice in 1984. Ranald Lindsay was one of the first Solicitor-Advocates in Scotland and was the first ever solicitor advocate to qualify in both criminal and civil law.
From a breach of the peace to a murder charge, we have the experience and qualifications to handle any problems you may have with the criminal law. Ranald Lindsay was one of the first solicitor-advocates in Scotland, so we can represent you personally in any criminal case at any level of court in Scotland - Justice of the Peace, Sheriff Court, High Court or Appeal Court.
Sometimes the hardest part of a relationship breakdown is what happens to the children. You want what is best for them. That's what we're here to help you achieve. Whether it is adoption, residence, contact, or any other issues affecting your children, we'll help you work out what's best for your children, then do all we can to help you make it happen.
The consequences for your life - and your finances - can be extreme. You need someone who can guide you through the law covering your situation, and explain your options so that you can make the choices you have to make about your life. It's never easy, but we can help you through it, and set you up to start off the rest of your life.

This place made an extremely simple divorce into a long drawn out process which was ridiculously expensive!I don't think dogs belong in a Solicitors office.

Avoid - Avoid At All Costs. Do not trust, they have been noted to spy on former clients at the Dumfries Sheriff Court. withholding key evidence from ex clients leading to lying in court on evidence that was disclosed to themselves but not too the clients. Peeping round court room's doors to listen into ex clients private conversations in court rooms. Personally I find them very unhelpful and unkind.

I would definitely not recommend Lindsay solicitors they are rude in there replies and lie on statements they seem like they don’t care about your case and find them absolutely useless. I am now requesting my file to be sent to a different firm who hopefully should do a better job than Lindsay solicitors. Be warned Lindsay solicitors are a waste off time I’ve wasted nea 12 month on them and got nowhere!!
