100% would recommend Matthew and his father and the rest of the staff at McGovern Reid, I thought there would be no way to get out of a driving ban but was proven wrong by Matthew and his father who both handled my case and got a result I first thought impossible, if you're up for something at court these are the guys for the job.

We appreciate just how worrying a police investigation or criminal prosecution can be and we have modelled our Firm to ensure that you receive the help you need, exactly when you need it. If you are arrested and charged with assault, you should contact or request that McGovern Reid be contacted immediately on 01698 359 550 or by using our online contact form.
Under Scots law, assault is defined as a physical attack on another person intended to cause bodily injury or put the victim in a state of fear of attack which could cause them bodily injury. If you have been involved in a physical altercation, such as a fight or scuffle, and another person has been injured, it is possible that you will be charged with assault.
There is no area of criminal law more likely to affect an individual in Scotland than that relating to domestic abuse. Police Scotland, Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service and the courts take domestic abuse extremely seriously. Domestic abuse comes in many forms and is considered in a much wider context now than it has been in the past.

Used Bobby Reid of McGovern Reid Court Lawyers for an accusation of assault/breach of the peace case. Mr Reid was able to show that the accusers had deliberately come to the residence in order to cause trouble and that their statements to the police and the evidence they both gave in court were nothing but lies. Can’t describe the relief I feel at not having this nonsense weighing on the mind anymore. Bobby is a top man and did his job superbly well. Wouldn’t hesitate to use his services again, however, I hope that won’t be necessary.

Positive: Professionalism, Quality
McGovern and Reid Court Lawyers should have been and would have been my first choice if I already knew about them. In my experience I feel very lucky to have this office in my corner. Cant thank Mr Ried enough for all he has done and continues to do for myself and my family.
