Careless Driving, Glasgow District Court
“As a retired Police Traffic Sergeant, I had occasion to contact Michael Lyon Solicitors when I was recently charged with Careless Driving in the early hours of a weekday morning. My faith in his abilities has now been amply rewarded as due to his perseverance, professionalism and work ethic, the Crown has now deserted the case.
I would unreservedly recommend Michael Lyon Solicitors to anyone in similar circumstances: your future could not be in better hands!!”
D.F., Glasgow
Speeding, Motherwell District Court
“Other than the result being absolutely brilliant, I found your obvious confidence before the Court incredibly reassuring. It was, in a strange way, really enjoyable watching a true professional in action. I didn’t time things but you seemed to tie things up quicker than Usain Bolt covers 100m, best bit of theatre ever, and very impressive”
G.T., Motherwell
Drink Driving, Stonehaven Sheriff Court
“It was such a relief to be found not guilty after it was put to the Court that there was no case to answer
I have no reservations whatsoever in recommending Martin Black of Michael Lyon Solicitors as an excellent defence lawyer in road traffic cases. There is absolutely no question in my mind that it is entirely due to Martin Black’s work in finding applicable case law and then putting his points most professionally to the Sheriff.
A finding of no case to answer was reached and therefore a not guilty verdict followed. Well done Martin Black!”
M.R., Aberdeen
Speeding and Failing to Furnish, Perth J.P. Court
“Thank you for your final confirmation that the Crown have discontinued proceedings in connection with my case. From my initial contact with you I felt very confident I had chosen the very best representation available. Your speed of response, clarity of explanation and total professionalism throughout our dealings were exemplary and a total reassurance to me.
I am sure you will understand that I hope not to have cause to use your services again, but would have absolutely no hesitation in doing so, nor indeed highly recommending you and your Firm should the opportunity arise”
C.S., Perth
Dangerous Driving, Paisley Sheriff Court
“I would like to thank you and your colleague for an outstanding outcome in my case for an allegation of dangerous driving. From alleged speeds quoted by the Police Officers in excess of 120mph, I can only say that I would recommend any and all of my friends that they make use of your services for any element of road traffic law.
I wish you and your partners all the very best in the future”
C.K., Paisley
Speeding, Aberdeen J.P. Court
“I must thank both you and Martin for the professional way my cases were handled. I always received prompt advice on all my queries and the result was what we expected, I hope I don’t have to use your services again but will not hesitate to recommend your Firm to somebody that needs your services”
C.V., Aberdeen
Mobile Phone and Speeding, Paisley District / Sheriff Court
“I worked with Michael over a long period on two complicated road traffic cases and he successfully defended me in both. At all times he was extremely professional, approachable and prompt. He is excellent at what he does, one of the best. I have no hesitation in recommending him to others”
S.M., Paisley
Drink Driving, Dunfermline Sheriff Court
“I would like to thank you for your professionalism in relation to my recent Court case and please accept my sincere gratitude for your assistance”
N.H., Fife
Dangerous Driving, Aberdeen Sheriff Court
“I’m contacting you personally to pass on my thanks and gratitude for the work your Company carried out on my behalf. From my initial contact with Martin Black, through to investigating the Crown case and arranging the trial dates around my work commitments I had the utmost confidence I had instructed the right road traffic law specialists.
I would have no hesitation in recommending or indeed contacting your Firm”
P.A., Aberdeen
Speeding, Inverness J.P. Court
“I would like to thank you for the result and I would also like to mention that I have already recommended your Company services”
S.L., Aberdeen
Mobile Phone, Selkirk District Court
”Your Firm defended me today during my trial at Selkirk and I was found not guilty. You were simply clinical during the trial which included two police officers whose version of events were not identical to mine. I will have no hesitation in recommending your Firm to anyone who need the services of a specialist road traffic lawyer in Scotland”
A.A., Selkirk
Failing to Furnish, Edinburgh J.P. Court
“I would just like to say thank you so much for helping me keep my job and livelihood. It just shows it was worth spending the money and will definitely recommend your services to anybody who needs a traffic lawyer. It is unbelievable that it took 13 months but would just like to thank you again for all the work you have done during that long time period”
C.H., Cheshire
Speeding, Kilmarnock Sheriff Court
“Thank you for representing me so well...I am very pleased with the outcome”
T.A., Kilmarnock
Speeding, Dumfries Sheriff Court
“I am aware of just how outstanding a result was obtained at trial, particularly in a notorious area such as Dumfries which appears to owe more to the Wild West than the normal mores of jurisprudence enjoyed by the rest of the nation. The previous lawyers from whom the case was mandated suggested that I plead guilty as I had “no chance” and said that a three month ban was utterly inevitable. I refused to accept that and good job I did.
Once again, thanks for your outstanding work, I am most grateful”
M.D., Edinburgh
Drink Driving, Glasgow J.P. Court
“Thank you for your impressive assistance and for your patience. It is quite remarkable that I have retained my entitlement to drive at the end of the case”
G.B., Glasgow
Speeding, Perth J.P. Court
“Michael, Just a quick note to thank you so much for attending Court and getting the result you did. Again, thank you ever so much for your efforts and I will have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone in similar circumstances”
C.H., Cheshire
Dangerous Driving, Elgin Sheriff Court
“Thank you for defending me in this case as the stated aim of our discussions over the last seven months has been the retention of my driving licence and this was achieved by your Company. A bit last minute for my nerves, but understand that is the nature of the beast. I would recommend your services to anyone without hesitation and thanks again to both you and Martin”
F.H., Elgin
Drink Driving, Hamilton Sheriff Court
“I thank you for confirming that I was found not guilty after trial at Hamilton Sheriff Court. May I take this opportunity to thank you for your support and professional guidance you gave me prior to trial and you can be assured I would have no hesitation in recommending you and your Company to anyone unfortunate enough to find themselves in a similar position”
P.G., Stirling
Speeding, Girvan District Court
“Brilliant in Court, Mister Cool, talked me through the whole thing a step at a time. More confidant than me because I might have been a tad guilty, Michael has now freed two more traffic police to pursue real, possibly more dangerous criminals other than me”
D.H., Irvine
Drink Driving, Edinburgh Sheriff Court
“Martin Black of Michael Lyon Solicitors represented me in relation to my recent drink driving case. As a director of my own Company, the loss of my licence would have been detrimental to my business and very isolating to my personal life. Martin’s support, guidance and personal knowledge of road traffic offences thoroughly reassured me at a very stressful time as I knew I had a team of experts fighting my corner.
I was found not guilty and the case was dismissed and I do feel this result is wholly due to Michael Lyon Solicitors and their expertise in the law and guts to go after the result. Just prior to my trial starting the Crown indicated that they were surprised that the case had not been settled, i.e. by myself pleading guilty earlier in the process. Ten minutes later the not guilty verdict had been delivered”
M.M. Edinburgh
Careless Driving, Lochgilphead Sheriff Court
“Once again, I would like to express my appreciation for your quality representation at trial in securing an acquittal. Thrilled with how everything went and I hope you enjoy similar success in the future”
C.M., Falkirk
Speeding, Dumfries District Court
“Having successfully been defended by Martin Black of Michael Lyon Solicitors a few years back I found myself in the unfortunate situation of needing representation again. This time it was a speeding charge having been caught in a 30mph limit. With nine live points on my licence, my local lawyer had resigned me to the fact that a six month ban was imminent through totting-up. However after discussions with Michael Lyon Solicitors we tendered a plea of not guilty and the Crown dropped the case during trial.
A quite remarkable outcome in what many people would have said was a clear cut case of me being guilty. I would highly recommend Michael Lyon Solicitors. I know that I certainly wouldn’t be in possession of a driving licence right now without them!”
D.M., Dumfries
Speeding, Forfar J.P. Court
“I carried out some research as to who could defend my case and hopefully retain my driving licence after being caught speeding at 109 in a 70mph limit. One of my colleagues had recommended you and, of course, I reviewed your website noting that you had a very good record with some outstanding results.
I would have no hesitation in recommending you to friends and have already done so”
S.C., Azerbaijan
Speeding, Dumfries District Court
“Can I once again thank you for all your help, understanding, patience and above all professionalism in dealing with my case. You will be highly recommended to family, friends and colleagues who seek the advice and help of a superb road traffic lawyer!”
N.R., Bellshill
Dangerous Driving, Dumfries Sheriff Court
“I think it is only fair to say that facing the original charge of dangerous driving was an utterly horrendous experience and the consequences, for myself and family, far reaching. Michael Lyon Solicitors professional and diligent representation, at such short notice, was obviously paramount to saving my licence.
I cannot thank the Firm enough for their professionalism, expertise and the fact that I am still on the road. I would have no hesitation in recommending others to employ your invaluable and very competitive services; I am so pleased I did”
M.O., Annan
Dangerous Driving, Paisley Sheriff Court
“On speaking to Mr Lyon it became evident that I had made the right choice and felt assured I was dealing with someone who knew exactly what he was doing. On the final day that I appeared in Court, I fully expected not to retain my freedom to drive although the Court was eventually persuaded not to disqualify.
It was a long drawn out process with many sleepless nights. No matter how serious things may seem, it’s worth engaging a specialist Solicitor who specialises in the area. In particular, I would recommend Mr Lyon and Mr Black if you want to be guided through the process and tip the balance in your favour at every stage”
M.C., Paisley
Speeding, Glasgow J.P. Court
“I first contacted Michael regarding an allegation of speeding at over 80mph in a 50mph limit – an allegation for which I could have been disqualified. Based on his many previous successes and obvious knowledge of road traffic law, I instructed Michael to defend my case. For a professional service from a specialist at the top of his field, I could not have put my licence in better hands.
As Michael had predicted, the case was dropped by the Crown on the day of trial when they were made aware that their evidence was flawed and the chance of a prosecution negligible. If I am aware of anybody in a similar position, I will certainly be recommending Michael Lyon Solicitors”
D.M., Glasgow
Dangerous Driving, Kilmarnock Sheriff Court
“I would like to take this opportunity to that Mr Black. I am extremely delighted with the outcome and will have no hesitation in recommending your Company
Once again, I thank you very much for your professional assistance in defending me in this matter”
M.M., Glasgow
Drink Driving, Aberdeen Sheriff Court
“I would like to thank you for your efforts on the case. I am particularly appreciative of the opportunity to be properly represented and for the case to be reported accurately. So, thanks, and I hope we will not have to call on your services again, but will do of necessary”
J.S., Aberdeen
Three Speeding Cases, Duns J.P. Court
“You can be sure I will pass your name to anyone I know in a similar position. Once again, thank you for all your good work and I am glad that I contacted Michael Lyon Solicitors”
B.D., Duns
Drink Driving, Glasgow J.P. Court
Speeding, Dumfries District Court
“I was particularly delighted with the result you achieved representing me in front of the Procurator Fiscal in Dumfries. I was convinced that losing my licence was the most likely outcome. I travel over 40,000 miles by car and am a Director of three Companies so my licence is crucial to me.
Thank you for representing me so well and it is a crying shame that you do not cover the Midlands as I was photographed by a mobile van last week!”
J.B., Worcestershire
Dangerous Driving, Stranraer Sheriff Court
“I came across the website for Michael Lyon during a search for Scottish Road Traffic Solicitors. When I spoke to Mr Lyon, his information came across as thorough, unlike other Solicitors who seemed to pause and be accessing information. As Mr Lyon came across as knowledgeable and genuine, I decided to go ahead with his representation.
The charge was reduced to careless driving some months later and I received simply penalty points.
I can seriously advise contacting Michael Lyon for legal advice if charged with a driving offence in Scotland, no matter what the Police may have told them or how personally they feel their chances are. As my case has proven, nothing ventured, nothing gained”
T.F., Manchester
Speeding, Cumbernauld District Court
“Thank you very much for representing me! I am absolutely delighted with the outcome. Disqualification would have resulted in me losing my job instantly. I will recommend your Firm to all my friends and family”
R.M., Glasgow
Speeding, Dumfries District Court
“I’d like to thank you for your advice and help on this matter and would recommend you to anyone I know who has an unfortunate meeting with a camera”
I.B., North Yorkshire
Dangerous Driving, Hamilton Sheriff Court
“May I take this opportunity to express my immeasurable gratitude to your Firm. Having previously been banned in 2000 I was facing a situation which would have had catastrophic implications to my professional and personal life, all of which have been avoided due to the diligence of Michael Lyon, The Road Traffic Lawyer.
From my first contact, I was impressed with the professionalism, knowledge and authoritative approach to my road traffic charge. This was in stark contrast to my dismal experience with my previous Solicitor in 2000. Consequently I am of the view that if your services had been procured for my previous offence I would not have been penalised so severely in 2000.
I will have no hesitation in recommending your specialised expertise and services as I am in no doubt that you provide a far superior service. May I again express my heartfelt thanks and gratitude”
M.S. Lanarkshire
Speeding, Glasgow District Court
“I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for achieving the result in my case. I would not hesitate to recommend your services to anyone”
A.S., Glasgow
Speeding, Dumfries District Court
“Firstly I would like to say a big thank you for everything you have done for me. I am very happy with the service you have provided and won’t hesitate to recommend you to anybody who might need your services
Thanks again for the high quality service you have provided me”
A.T., Surrey
Speeding, Dumfries District Court
“I wish to pay tribute to your handling of my case, and your presentation to the Court on the day. Obviously this was a crucial matter for me and my patients. Your understanding of the law, your reading of the attitude of the Court in Dumfries and your preparation of my case were most impressive
The final presentation to the Court was impressive and I am sure crucial in securing the favourable result that was gained. I would not hesitate to recommend your services. Hopefully I won’t actually need them again!”
P.B., Glasgow
Speeding, Perth Sheriff Court
“I would like to thank you for your hard work and efforts in bringing my case to a winning outcome. I am sure this would not have been possible had I not chosen your Firm
The initial phonecall gave me real confidence as you went over the various options and possible outcomes for my case. Your knowledge of road traffic law greatly impressed me as I had called a number of other Solicitors who seemed to know less than I about road traffic law!
I would also like to add that the level of communication was excellent, from returning simple email questions very promptly to answering the phone every time I called. This was particularly important because during this time I was very worried and had a lot of questions.
I would not hesitate to recommend your services to anyone”
R.W., Isle of Man
Speeding, Perth Sheriff Court
“After being charged with speeding at 109mph, and not knowing what to do, I looked on the internet for some information and found Michael Lyon, The Road Traffic Lawyer. After one conversation with Michael Lyon you will think you have known him for years, so relax and put your feet up. I am sure I would have lost my licence if I had filled out the paperwork instead of sending it to Michael Lyon Solicitor.
I have no hesitation in recommending Michael Lyon Solicitors to anyone requiring a lawyer. The whole Company were just so easy to deal with. My bill for keeping my licence was very reasonable, especially if you value your licence”
K.E., West Lothian
Careless Driving, Selkirk Sheriff Court
“Wonderful news....thank you so much for achieving such a quick and simple result. Thank you once again and I can’t tell you how happy I feel”
L.D., Selkirk
No Insurance, Livingston Sheriff Court
“I would like to say thank you for a first class service provided by your Company and would recommend you to anybody in a situation like my own. Thanks for your service”
B.K., West Lothian
No Insurance, Selkirk Sheriff Court
“After being charged with driving with no insurance under complicated circumstances, I looked around for a specialist lawyer to defend my licence. Michael Lyon immediately went to work on my case and sorted through the complexities with ease. It makes such a refreshing change to deal direct with the organ grinder.
After several months of Court cases, Michael Lyon achieved the ultimate result and I was found not guilty of the offence. One would need to fully understand the complexities of my case to fully understand what an exceptional job Michael Lyon did for me. I cannot fault the service I have received from Michael Lyon n any area, a true professional who clearly cares about the clients he represents and promises nothing less than he delivers!
An exceptional service from an exceptional specialist Firm. I would have no hesitation recommending Michael Lyon to anybody no matter how complicated the case may be! Thank you Michael Lyon!!
N.L., Manchester
No Insurance / Driving without Consent
“Mr Lyon took on my case and made clear what the best course would be. He planned the stratgey and it played out perfectly in front of the Sheriff.
Quite simply I had the result Mr Lyon planned for from the beginning and had to sit back and watch it go through due process. I thank Mr Lyon and his team for making a very difficult time so much easier”
O.B., Manchester
Dangerous Driving, Kilmarnock Sheriff Court
“Many thanks for representing me in my case. I’m extremely grateful still to be driving and cannot believe the result. I would have no hesitation in recommending your Firm to anybody as your expertise in this field is second to none.”
D.B., Kilmarnock
Speeding, Lanark District Court
“I am very grateful for your assistance and realise that I have been very fortunate with the outcome of the case. I will certainly recommend your services to anyone in similar circumstances to mine in the future.”
E.M., East Kilbride
Drink Driving, Glasgow District Court
“Please may I take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude for all you did for me during my recent legal problem. As you are aware I consulted you to represent me having been charged with a drink drive offence.
From our first meeting at your office you efficiently worked out a strategy of how best to defend my position, your arguments were reasoned and persuasive and served to put me a little more at ease, whilst in no way minimising the gravity of my situation as I stood to lose my job, income and possibly even my home.
You were of great support during my pleading diet, my intermediate diet and during the two trial diets. I believe that it was your skilled persuasive manner and the professional way you presented my case which convinced the court to oppose a second adjournment and desert the case against me resulting in my acquittal.
I thank you again for achieving such a great result and I can now move on with my life. I would strongly recommend you to anyone finding themselves in similar difficulties.”
T.M., Glasgow
Speeding, Lanark District Court
“Thank you very much for your help and assistance throughout the period of my Court case, from initial notice of intended prosecution through to appearance in Court and eventual desertion of the case by the prosecution. Although I was facing a ban for speeding under the totting-up process, once I had made initial contact with Michael Lyon Solicitors and discussed the possibilities, I was confident of success.
I felt well supported throughout and when the case came to Court the rigour and level of preparation became apparent. The case itself came down to a question of readiness to proceed and it was evident that your team were far better prepared than the prosecution. The argument was pursued eloquently and vigorously and was accepted by the Court.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Michael Lyon Solicitors to anyone caught up in the nonsense of our current traffic legislation.
Thank you all once again for all your help."
I.M., Glasgow
Speeding, Airdrie Sheriff Court
“Since my initial contact with you on 6 June 2009 until 11 January 2010, when the case against me was deserted by the Crown, I have been thoroughly impressed by your professionalism, knowledge, organisation and integrity. You gave me very clear guidance...and achieved the optimum result – magic.
As a result of all of this your name is already now well known amongst my friends and colleagues and I would recommend you to anyone in a heartbeat!!
On a very personal note, you returned my initial call that I made to you on a Saturday within an hour when I was panicking as I had never been involved in anything to do with a Court case. You completely set both my own and my wife’s mind at rest and I cannot explain how much comfort that this gave us at the time “.
D.M., Cumbernauld
Dangerous Driving, Dingwall Sheriff Court
“I cannot thank you enough for the prompt advice and expertise you have both shown with regard to my case.
I was to be prosecuted for dangerous driving after being caught allegedly doing 111mph on a single carriageway. I really did not think I had any chance at all of avoiding losing my licence ...but you managed to secure the ultimate outcome of retaining my driving entitlement.
I am truly grateful for everything you have done and wish both you and your company every success in the future”.
A.L., Leeds
Drink Driving, Hamilton Sheriff Court
“I would like to take this opportunity of thanking you once again for all your help during my recent case. I would certainly recommend you and your team to anyone who is unfortunate enough to be in my position.”
J.S., Glasgow
Dangerous Driving, Livingston Sheriff Court
“Martin did very well for me in Court and his sure footed approach weaved us through the elephant traps and I am very grateful to both of you.”
I.S., Livingston
No Insurance, Forfar Sheriff Court
“I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and your associates for all your help with my recent case. You handled everything in a very reassuring and confident manner; I was very grateful that you took the time to explain everything as events unfolded on the day in Court.
It is hard to describe how stressful an environment that was but you made it infinitely more tolerable – I would not like to think how I would have coped without your guidance. Thanks again for all your help.”
U.R., London
Speeding, Glasgow District Court
“Please accept our thanks for your sterling efforts and you will most certainly be recommended to our clients in the future.”
S.T., Glasgow
Using a Mobile Phone, Glasgow District Court
“Michael Lyon Solicitor defended me for an alleged mobile phone offence at the Justice of the Peace Court in Glasgow. He was most helpful and professional in his approach to my case and kept me informed at every point in the proceedings.
I obtained an acquittal due to his good efforts.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Mr Lyon to anyone facing a road traffic offence.”
J.M., Glasgow
No Insurance, No MOT, No Licence, Livingston J.P. Court
“As a student training to be a Solicitor, I was really embarrassed to find myself appearing in Court. On the website you promise to respond to enquiries within 24 hours and I was contacted in much less time than that by Mr Martin Black who was very professional and reassuring.
I had never met Mr Lyon but he arrived at Court on the day of my appearance. He was very approachable and instantly made me feel I was in very capable hands. Mr Lyon was very impressive when my charge was called in Court and put many other Solicitors to shame in the way he dealt with my case.
I believe that I chose the very best representation available and would certainly recommend Michael Lyon Solicitors to anyone who is in need of representation for road traffic offences.
I truly hope that when I graduate University and become a Solicitor that I can command the attention of a Court room just as Mr Lyon did for me. My sincere gratitude for all your time and effort.”
S.J.S., Glasgow
