Services
We do not believe in a one size fits all approach to the provision of legal services. In fact, our experience has shown us that one size does not fit all. This is because everyone is different and the facts and circumstances of a person's case are different to those of others.
We provide our clients with a bespoke legal defence service that is specifically tailored to their needs and circumstances, rather than trying to fit their circumstances into a prearranged, one size fits all solution.Our advice given in plain English and is to the point. We do keep our eye on the bigger picture but we advise our clients on the law in language they understand.

We know that people from all walks of life may, at one time or another, be the subject of a criminal investigation. We can assist you if you are under a criminal investigation or if you have been charged with a crime. We know that being the subject of a police or other law enforcement investigation can be extremely daunting and distressing.
Road traffic offences are a complex area of law. We know that it is confusing and can seem hopeless when facing what can seem as an unjustified road traffic prosecution. The stakes are high and if you are facing prosecution you need the right advice and robust representation at court. Whatever the allegation we have the expertise and tactical know how to help you.
Companies, businesses, company directors, and sole traders can inadvertently become involved in a crime in the course of their business in many different ways. There is a huge amount of legislation affecting businesses that it is almost impossible for small businesses to remain compliant.
Regulatory authorities are far more pro-active these days and businesses face intense scrutiny from these regulators and the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service, who are aggressively pursuing those suspected of committing regulatory and business crimes.The financial and reputational damage that a regulatory or business crime conviction can have on a business can be severe.

Absolute professional service with excellent guidance from start to finish. The manner in which my case was handled by Greg Smith was outstanding and would highly recommend his services to anyone requiring a legal defence in road traffic offences. I would just like to thank Greg Smith for taking on my case of dangerous driving and getting my case dismissed.

I hired Montgomery Smith to help me with a seriously scary issue. I was charged with assaulting my ex-wife. This was a lie. My ex was getting back at me because our marriage had ended and I was in a new relationship with a younger woman. I was worried and panicking that I would lose everything but Greg Smith got me sorted out. He was on top of everything from day one. I had spoken to a couple of other defence lawyers. Both of these guys had plenty of experience and Both told me that I was likely to be convicted based on the court paperwork. I knew I was not guilty and I was never going to plead

I have been meaning to post a review for a couple of months since I was found not guilty of assaulting my former partner. I have used a few lawyers over the years. Mostly for conveyancing and the like.
Some have been good. Others not so. Montgomery Smith is the best law firm ever. My job, life and reputation were on the line when I went to them. Greg Smith of Montgomery Smith was amazing. He helped me cope with a very difficult situation and nothing was too much trouble for him. In the past I have found it difficult to reach my lawyer on the phone. Greg was was always available on the phone. Even

I just want to than Montgomery Smith Solicitors and Greg for the terrific job they did on my case. I was so stressed but they helped me through the whole thing getting me found not guilty. I cannot thank them enough. The allegations were horrible and I really couldn't see a way out. Greg did a blinding job and exposed the lies from the witnesses in court for all to see. Greg is an amazing lawyer. If you are ever in trouble make sure you get Greg. Cracking bloke and a top rank lawyer

Brilliant law firm who went the extra mile for me. I was worried all through the lockdown about my case but my lawyer Greg Smith kept in touch. When I went to court today Greg got all of the charges dropped. I couldn't believe it and I am so grateful that they took on my case. I was with another law firm first but they had told me to plead guilty. There was no way I was going to do that so I changed to Montgomery Smith. Best decision I have ever made. Cannot recommend them enough. You definitely get what you pay for!!!

Montgomery Smith Solicitors are amazing. I was charged by the police with dangerous driving. I did not accept that this was right. I met with their senior lawyer Greg Smith who put me at ease right away and explained how he would help me. I have used lawyers for various legal things over many years. Greg is by far the best lawyer I have ever used. He kept me up to date with all the issues in my case and was on top of all the issues that arose during my case. At court he completely destroyed the prosecutor's case against me. It's a cliche but it was like watching a movie. Greg was incredible. I
