We believe that everyone charged with a criminal offence deserves the best possible defence. We act for clients on a privately funded basis and also, in certain circumstances, we represent clients, who are in employment, and are eligible for their case to be funded through Legal Aid by the Scottish Legal Aid Board.

We provide a bespoke, tailored service to our clients via our system of block/case stage fees and payments. We believe in transparent pricing, our clients know from the outset how much it will cost to resolve their case. Through providing a clear estimate of costs at the outset this allows our clients to make an informed decision. At Charles Ferguson Solicitors we are proud of our roots and for decades have provided legal assistance and advice to those who qualify for legal aid, subject to certain criteria and circumstances. We do not operate an hourly rate charging system which ultimately would result in significantly higher costs for our clients. Insurance providers may also fund our services depending on the applicable policy cover.

We are driven at all times by achieving the best possible outcome for our clients. We can immediately begin discussions with the Crown, the Prosecution Service in Scotland known as the COPFS, seeking to persuade them discontinue the case or where appropriate negotiate the best possible resolution for our client from the outset. Advocates, known as counsel, where appropriate are recommend and instructed, along with expert witnesses such as forensic scientists, psychologist and other doctors. If we believe an Advocate or Expert witnesses is required in our client’s case we will recommend that they are instructed to ensure that, at all times, the best possible outcome for our client is sought to be secured. At all times we seek to achieve the best outcome and results for our clients.
