"True expertise & client focus"

It was a recommendation that led me to contacting Michael Lyon after feeling unhappy with the solicitors I had originally discussed my case with. My first meeting was with Martin who had a professional & matter of fact manner. He instilled confidence in the legal expertise within the team & I elected to move. I then met with Ronnie who has an empathetic yet focused approach in which I was thankful for as I was more than scared of the consequences of a guilty verdict. I felt listened to and that was important to me as I had been charged with drink driving but arrested a couple of hours after the event. A toxicologist report was prepared which demonstrated my integrity as it corroborated my version of events. Ronnie had also prepared another, second defence & on the eve of the trial, anxious as I was, I felt comfortable & confident I had a lawyer I trusted to do the right thing. He had fought the fiscal on their request to ask the toxicologist to attend court (at my cost which was expensive). I would have gladly paid the fee but it gave me even more trust that he was fighting on my behalf - not just trying to generate fees for the firm. I'm almost disappointed I didn't get to see him in action on the day of the (much adjourned) trial. But the relief I felt when he called at 5.30pm on the evening before to say the PF was no longer calling to court was the best result I could have hoped for. I cannot thank you or the rest of the team enough! It was a long 18 months & I've given a little detail away about my case to hopefully help others who face a similar predicimant to mine. I cannot recommend this team highly enough - they are more expensive than competitors but you are paying for a high level of expertise & a true client focus.

"After being charged with careless …"

After being charged with careless driving I did some digging into firms in Glasgow and Michael Lyon Solicitors came up top.
I know first hand now, why they are. Everyone I met at the firm are great and very professional. They make you feel at ease and take charge of everything from the start. On the day of the trial Ronnie showed up, spoke to the Procurator fiscal convinced them that the charge had no public interest and it was dropped after speaking to the other driver. I walked away happy and most of all with a clean license. Thanks again Ronnie and good work. I can't recommend them enough.

"Careless Driving"

This review is on behalf of Mr Davey!
I was charged with Careless Driving as the result of a crash. A woman was parked at a bus stop, she pulled out and I swerved to avoid her, however as a result of that I crashed into another vehicle head on. I contacted Michael Lyon Solicitors and Ronnie Simpson represented me. At court having spoke to Ronnie, I initially thought I would be found guilty, however having listened to Ronnie question the witnesses, I thought what a great job he is doing. Ronnie was very professional and brilliant on the day! I highly recommend Michael Lyon Solicitors! Thanks again Ronnie!

"Dangerous Driving dropped to Careless"

After having advice to contact a Solicitor I found Michael's number online for a free consultation. He advised that my guilty plea to dangerous driving had being tendered incorrectly which I previously thought was only a speeding offence. He was truthful and honest with myself rather than telling me what I wanted to hear. Michael, Ronnie and Martin all took a view into my case which meant great deal rather than just being passed over as I had with other solicitors' in the area before calling Michael. The court correctly reduced this to a careless driving charge after reviewing the footage from the police car which left me with 5 points and a £540 fine rather than the initial outcome of being banned for 12 months!
Chaps, you've done me a great service and I can't thank you all enough!

"Speeding Allegation"

Right from the outset this company portrayed themselves as professional and having a massive understanding of the legal process regarding driving offences.
I dealt with Martin Black and in court on the day was represented by Michael Lyons
I can only say WOW. Michael's knowledge of all things technical regarding my case was first class and he tied the police witnesses in knots and highlighted their immense lack of road traffic knowledge.
Case dismissed as Prosecutor decided not to proceed after Michael's questioning of witnesses
I would recommend this company to any person who drives for a living

"Fantastic Service"

On being accused of dangerous driving which holds a minimum ban of 12 months, I was referred to Michael Lyon Solicitors by a family friend. I was immediately impressed by the knowledge and professionalism of Michael himself followed by everyone at the firm. They handled everything on my behalf keeping me suitably informed at all times. On the day of the trial I personally didn’t have much hope for keeping my license especially as I already had 3 points, however my representative on the day, Martin Black worked what can only be described as ‘his magic’ and my charge was reduced to careless driving allowing me to keep my license albeit receiving 8 points. I was over the moon with the outcome and in all honesty did not see it coming. I would highly recommend the firm to anyone in a similar position.

"Outstanding experience with Michael Lyons Solicitors"

I received highly skilled, accurate guidance and advice from the minute I started dealing with Michael Lyons firm. From speaking to Michael personally in the first instance, to appearing in court with Ronnie Simpson representing me. I was four and a half times over the limit when breathalised and could have been facing 24 months, a sizeable fine and possibly forfeiture of my vehicle. I cannot put in to words my feelings of relief when Ronnie turned this around to 9 months disqualification and a £300 fine. I would recommend this firm and either of these guys ahead of any other company a million times over.

"Brilliant Service"

I was caught speeding down the M74 at 101mph, which would impose a maximum driving ban of 56 days, a maximum fine of £2,500 and a minimum of 6 points. As i need my licence for my job i was terrified of losing my licence. I was refered to Michael Lyon Solicitors via a family friend. I was contacted by Ronnie Simpson who was really helpful over the phone. With his wealth of knowlage i was happy to appoint him to defend my case. Ronnie advised me i would not have to attend court as I live over three house away.

Ronnie contacted me on the day of my hearing with delightful news. I was able to keep my licence with 5 points and a £300 fine. I could not recommend Michael Lyon Solicitors enough.

Many Thanks

"Brilliant guys"

The guys at Michael Lyons are brilliant and are highly knowledged solicitors and a pleasure to be represented by, would definitley recommend them to anyone looking to keep license or be found not guilty in any sort of case like i was lucky to have today for a speeding offence, thanks to Ronnie and Martin. Cheers lads. John K
