Criminal Defence & Road Traffic Lawyers — Glasgow & Hamilton
We understand the personal and professional risks involved. Our clients include executives, business owners, and medical professionals who demand expert legal support, absolute discretion, and strategic guidance throughout the process. We provide tailored, robust, results-driven representation with meticulous preparation and complete confidentiality, drawing on years of experience as court practitioners in this specialist field.
Our mission is to protect your reputation, freedom, and future—discreetly and effectively.
With over 40 years of combined experience, we represent clients in Courts of all levels and regularly achieve positive outcomes, including persuading the prosecution to drop cases or negotiating reduced pleas to help clients retain their driving licences. 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.

Our solicitors appear regularly at Hamilton Sheriff Court, Glasgow Sheriff Court, Airdrie Sheriff Court, Lanark Sheriff Court, Ayr Sheriff Court, Paisley Sheriff Court, Dumbarton, Greenock Sheriff Court, and the High Court of Justiciary.
Criminal emergencies do not happen during office hours. We provide for our clients a 24/7 Emergency Call out service and we will arrange attendance at the police station, provide immediate legal advice, and ensure your rights are protected from the moment of detention and if you are interviewed we can be in attendance with you. You must ask for ourselves at the police station you are taken to if you wish us to assist.
We believe that everyone charged with a criminal offence deserves the best possible defence, regardless of their financial circumstances. For privately funded clients we offer a system of block fees with staged payments being available.
We are also at Charles Ferguson Solicitors proud of our roots and for decades have provided legal assistance and advise to those who qualify for legal aid. In light of the Legal Aid system in Scotland in the 21st century, we now act on a legal aid basis solely for clients who are in receipt of state benefits and are unemployed. Please contact us for further details.
We will provide clear, strategic advice and outline the most effective path forward. If you have been charged with a criminal or road traffic offence, or if you are under investigation and anticipate charges, contact us for an initial consultation. We will discuss your case, explain your options, and provide honest advice about the best course of action.
