When you are facing criminal charges or a road traffic prosecution, the solicitor you choose matters. Charles Ferguson Solicitors are solely criminal defence and road traffic law practitioners. These are exclusively our practice areas.
Over four decades of combined criminal defence and road traffic practice. Focused. Tenacious. Results driven.
We serve clients across the West, Central Belt and throughout Scotland from offices in Glasgow and Hamilton. A criminal charge can arrive without warning. You may be arrested at home, stopped by police in your vehicle, or receive a citation through the post. Whatever the circumstances, having an experienced defence solicitor on your side from the earliest possible moment can make the decisive difference to the outcome of your case.
Evidence can be challenged, procedures can be scrutinised, and defences can be identified that a general practitioner might overlook. We provide direct, professional and approachable support to anyone under investigation or facing prosecution.
We focus exclusively on Road Traffic and Criminal Defence, representing clients at all stages, including at the Police Station during Interview and detention and thereafter at any court proceedings.
We act without bias, and are committed to defending your rights, your reputation and your future.
