“The secret of successfully avoiding a ban was Michael Lyon Solicitors. They were more efficient than the bloody German car that got me into all this trouble in the first place! I would use these guys any day of the week”

Jeff Brazier, TV presenter
 
  CLIENT TESTIMONIALS  
Speeding (110mph), Inverness Justice of the Peace Court
“I would like to thank Michael Lyon Solicitors Limited for their expert handling of my case. I cannot recommend Michael and his team highly enough. Truly exceptional work and best of luck for the future.”
P.R., Thurso


Causing and Permitting, Glasgow Justice of the Peace Court
“I wish to thank Michael Lyon and his Firm for the quality representation provided, essentially obtaining a “no case to answer” verdict through his expertise in the law. I would highly recommend the Firm to anyone who is worried about a traffic charge. Engaging this Firm is money well spent and you can be assured of the highest level of representation and knowledge of the law
On a personal note, I would like to thank Michael so much. I have recently secure a senior position within the European Commission and this would have been significantly compromised in the event of conviction.”
S.G., Glasgow


Speeding, Ayr Justice of the Peace Court
“Thank you for your successful efforts at the Court in Ayr today. Your Firm was highly recommended to me by a friend over dinner who had a previous experience of your abilities. I have no doubt this successful outcome is only due to your skill and efforts on my behalf and I would highly recommend you to anyone looking for an expert to defend them.
I hope we never meet again, as you said outside the Court, but if I do find myself in need of defence in the future, your’re on speed dial.”
G.N., Ayr


Speeding, Lanark Justice of the Peace Court
“Just arrived back at my office after my trial at Lanark and wanted to say a huge thank you to Michael and Martin on the successful outcome of my case.
I hope I won’t need you again but you will be in my thoughts in terms of recommendation to anyone in similar circumstances.”
D.Y., Renfrew


Dangerous Driving and Drink Driving, Aberdeen Sheriff Court
“Thank you for everything you have done for me over the past seven months in what has been a living hell of embarrassment and remorse. The result was beyond my expectation and the genuine care for what I wanted from the case was clear from the outset.
I would urge anyone charged with any kind of road traffic offence to get in touch with Michael Lyon Solicitors as your really are dealing with the best”
R.K. Aberdeen


Speeding (103mph and subject to nine penalty points), Lanark Justice of the Peace Court

M.Z., Salford


Careless Driving, Duns Justice of the Peace Court
“Thank you very much for all your help and expert advice in dealing with my recent road traffic contravention. The outcome was very fair and reasonable and I will be recommending your services to other motorists.”
R.P., Cumbria


Dangerous Driving, Inverness Sheriff Court
“I am sure I would have lost my licence and been convicted of dangerous driving without the advice and help from Michael Lyon Solicitors. I found them to be conscientious, courteous and helpful, responding to my calls even outside normal business hours.
I managed to retain my driving licence and would have no trouble recommending the Firm as what they don’t know about Scottish motoring law is not worth knowing. Once again, thanks to Michael for all his help and assistance and, no disrespect, I hope never to have to use your services again.”
A.R., Middlesbrough


Drink Driving and Speeding, Paisley Sheriff Court
“I am most grateful for your attentive representation throughout my case and the acquittal on all charges was an outstanding result although no less than you anticipated.”
J.S., Glasgow


Speeding, Dumfries Justice of the Peace Court
“Many thanks for your assistance in relation to this matter. I really though a disqualification from driving was inevitable due to the fact I was subject to the totting-up provisions however as a result of your sterling efforts mu licence has been saved.”
S.R., Cumbria


Speeding, Dunoon Justice of the Peace Court
“The prospect of a driving ban and the total inconvenience it would cause never really became a reality thanks to Michael Lyon Solicitors. I am extremely grateful and would recommend his Firm to anyone who needs the very best road traffic lawyer in Scotland”
G.M., Glasgow


Speeding (105mph), Dumfries Justice of the Peace
“Could you please pass my thanks on to Martin Black for his first class handling of my case. From my initial call to your office to the conclusion of my case, your Firm has dealt with me in the most exemplary fashion. I sincerely hope that I never need to make use of your services again and will have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone else.”
D.N., Edinburgh


Speeding (103mph), Dunfermline Justice of the Peace Court
“Thank you so much for your support and advice in the matter of my alleged speeding offence. Your advice to fight the charge gave me the reassurance I needed since a driving ban would have proved disastrous for my business, When it finally came to trial, the case was deserted and I was therefore found not guilty.
In short, I would highly recommend your services to anyone finding themselves in a similar predicament”
G.H., Hamilton


Mobile Phone and Speeding, Paisley Justice of the Peace Court
“I would like to extend my warmest thanks to both you and Martin for defending me in relation to two cases, both of which resulted in acquittals. Currently on six points, there was no doubt in my mind that I was facing a lengthy ban which would have had a terrible effect on my working life. I can’t thank you enough for delivering a very professional service and saving my licence. I will have no hesitation in recommending your Firm in the future.”
R.H., Glasgow


Speeding (89mph in a 40mph limit), Dunoon Justice of the Peace Court
“I contacted Michael Lyon regarding a charge of speeding at 89mph on my motorcycle in an alleged 40mph limit. I instructed Michael to represent me. For a professional service from a specialist who is exemplary in his field, I could not have put myself in better hands. I cannot recommend his Firm highly enough.”
J.W., Dunoon


Speeding, Dumfries Justice of the Peace Court
“This is just a very quick note to thank you for all your efforts in my recent traffic case at Dumfries and Galloway J.P. Court. I was very pleased with the result and extremely grateful to still be driving.”
J.S. Hamilton


Dangerous Driving, Glasgow Justice of the Peace Court
“When our 18 year old son was charged with dangerous driving, we decided that it was important to get the best legal advice available. The charge, if proven, had extremely serious consequences and Michael managed to persuade the Crown to desert the entire case. I would strongly advise anyone who wants the best outcome to engage Michael Lyon Solicitors.”
M.M., Glasgow


Careless Driving, Hamilton Justice of the Peace Court
“I was charged with careless driving at a speed of 106mph on the M74. I had to employ Michael Lyon Solicitors to limit as much as possible the forthcoming ban. All arrangements were put in place by me to find alternative transport during the anticipated ban however Michael Lyon managed to prevent a disqualification being imposed and I ended up with only four penalty points.
Thank you for your thorough and efficient service.”
J.M., Edinburgh


Careless Driving and Failing to Report, Glasgow Justice of the Peace Court
“From my very first contact with Michael Lyon Solicitors, I was very impressed with their calm manner and professional approach. Over three stressful Court appearances, both Michael Lyon and Martin Black put me at ease and reassured me throughout the process. The final outcome was very positive and attained only through their extensive expertise and skill in the Court room.
I cannot express my gratitude sufficiently as due to their input I still have my driving licence and my job. I would highly recommend their services to anyone finding themselves in need of a road traffic lawyer.”
K.G., Glasgow


Dangerous Driving, Glasgow Sheriff Court
“There is nothing certain in life but it is my main aim not to become a repeat customer of your company; other than to sing your praises and make referrals to you by anyone I find with a legal problem.
Would you please accept my profound and heartfelt thanks as my nightmare is now over.”
G.H., Falkirk Dangerous Driving and Failing to Identify Driver, Aberdeen Sheriff Court
“Just wanted to thank everybody at Michael Lyon Solicitors for all your help with the case: a great result and the service was excellent. I will be recommending your services to everyone I know.”
S.M., Aberdeen


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


Death by Dangerous Driving, Elgin Sheriff Court

“We would like to express our gratitude to you for defending our son in Court on which was a very serious charge of death by dangerous driving. From our first phone call through to our Court appearances, I cannot thank you enough for the confidence you instilled, not only in our son but also in us. At no point did you hide the seriousness of the case and the worst possible outcome. You kept us informed at every stage of the proceedings and fortunately the charge was reduced to dangerous driving thanks to your sterling work. Your professionalism showed every time you appeared for us in Court and being on the end of a phone if we needed advice or even reassurance was invaluable. We are still quite overcome with the result we got in Court and feel this is completely down to your hard work and competence. We would have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone facing a road traffic offence.”

U.R., Lanarkshire


Drink Driving, Glasgow Justice of the Peace Court

“When I was charged with the offence my wife said get a good lawyer. In Michael Lyon Solicitors, I got the best. Thanks to Michael Lyon and Martin Black, I was found not guilty.”

I.A., Glasgow

Speeding, Dumfries Justice of the Peace Court

“I excitedly picked up my long awaited car during the X Factor tour and was driving on a very picturesque motorway between Glasgow and Newcastle when my journey hit a snag. As I glided along I saw a police camera unit parked on a bridge up ahead, I broke quickly but to my disappointment, I received a notice of intended prosecution a few days later. The secret of successfully avoiding a ban was Michael Lyon Solicitors. I was recommended these guys by an English Law Firm that I use and from the word go they were more efficient than the bloody German car that got me into all this trouble in the first place! I would use these guys any day of the week, so please take your traffic misdemeanours to them so they can get another kick out of saving you penalty points and bans.”

Jeff Brazier, X Factor presenter


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

“Many thanks for defending the case in Court. We were delighted with the outcome”

J.S., Motherwell


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 in 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


Speeding, Cumbernauld Justice of the Peace Court

“As a healthcare professional facing a seemingly inevitable driving disqualification, this meant more than just losing the ability to drive. I would have to appear at a professional conduct hearing which would have been extremely embarrassing and could have affected my ability to continue work. Mr Lyon and his team were simply outstanding, right from the first call to the final resolution. Words cannot express how professionally and effectively they carried out my defence. In the end I was found not guilty and my licence remained intact. I am so grateful to Mr Lyon and his team. Perhaps the greatest compliment I can give is the fact that this was the second time I was represented by Mr Lyon and wouldn’t hesitate to request his expertise in the future. I just hope that this won’t be necessary!”

U.R., Lanarkshire


Failing to Identify Driver, Edinburgh Justice of the Peace Court

“I wanted to pass on my thanks to you and your colleagues for helping me with this case. I can say with absolute conviction that if I had not had your help I would be considerably poorer and with many more points on my licence! I will indeed recommend your services to all and sundry.”

I.M.J., Melrose


Speeding, Paisley Justice of the Peace Court

“It was a great honour to see you in Court defending my case and I am extremely happy with the outcome of the trial. Your confidence in front of the Court was incredibly reassuring. I am very grateful to you for being so professional and for all the support and confidence you gave me throughout this time. I will highly recommend you to family, friends and colleagues who seek the help and advice of a great traffic lawyer.”

C.S., Ayrshire


Driving with an Insecure Load, Dumfries Justice of the Peace Court

“Many thanks for a great result and protecting my licence!”

B.S., Edinburgh


Dangerous Driving, Lanark Sheriff Court

“I would like to express my gratitude for all your staff did in my defence. I will be recommending your services to any of my associates if required in the future and I am very happy with the outcome.”

A.S., Lanark


No Insurance, Campbeltown Justice of the Peace Court

“Thank you very much for all your help and bringing this matter to a successful conclusion. It is just a shame that I cannot recover your fees from the Crown!”

R.G., Campbeltown


Speeding, Glasgow Justice of the Peace Court

“Many thanks for the assistance given. It was an almost unbelievable outcome of ‘no case to answer’ and I have already given my recommendation of your services to a friend.”

M.W., Glasgow


Drink Driving, Dumbarton Sheriff Court

“Following my trial at Dumbarton Sheriff Court, I would like to thank both Michael Lyon and Martin Black for being utterly professional and extremely reassuring throughout my case. From my first meeting and then my continued dealings with Martin and knew I was in the hands of two of the very best in their profession. In particular a huge thank you to Martin Black for your performance in Court. This was my third drink driving offence and if not for Martin I am certain I would be in prison today. I am eternally grateful and if anyone ever finds themselves in my position they should certainly look no further than Michael Lyon Solicitors.”

D.H., Dumbarton


Dangerous Driving, Glasgow Justice of the Peace Court

“Michael, I would just like to say that you are a marvel of modern science and I can’t thank you enough, or recommend you enough, for the remarkable job you did for me. With 9 penalty points on my licence and then to be charged with dangerous driving, I really expected to be off the road for a very long time. Wrong!!! Step in the legendary, the one and only, all the way from the High Street, Mr Michael Lyon. As if having the dangerous driving charge reduced to a Section 3, careless driving, wasn’t enough, but to then top it off by securing a short term ban, was just the icing on the cake. You’re not just a marvel, but the best at what you do, plus a genuinely gem of a gent too.”

T.N., Glasgow


Speeding (109mph/70mph limit), Lanark Justice of the Peace Court

C.W., Glasgow


Drink Driving, Glasgow Justice of the Peace Court

“May I take this opportunity to offer my sincerest thanks to you and your colleague for achieving what I believe to be a wholly satisfactory result at my recent Court appearance. At what was an embarrassing and stressful time for me personally, I was assured from our first meeting that I had made the correct decision in seeking your representation. Whilst I hope that I personally do not have to call on your services again, rest assured that I will gladly recommend you to anyone in my acquaintance should I feel they could benefit from your expert representation.”

C.S., Glasgow


Careless Driving, Glasgow Justice of the Peace Court

“I am very grateful to Michael and his colleague. I was originally charged with careless driving and allegations of up to 30mph over the speed limit in several different locations and on very wet roads. I contacted Michael Lyon Solicitors as my licence was already endorsed with 3 points and in serious jeopardy. The charges against me were diluted and I was ecstatic with the outcome.”

S.M., Edinburgh


Speeding, Annan Justice of the Peace Court

“From the start, Mr Lyon gave me a clear indication of my options and provided excellent guidance and advice throughout the process. He provided a completely honest appraisal of the borderline chances of success yet his opinion that we should proceed was gratefully accepted by me. Mr Lyon’s skilled and professional conduct in the Court ensured that we achieved the successful outcome we had hoped for and I would have no hesitation at all in recommending him to anybody who finds themselves in need of the services of a specialist in road traffic law.”

B.G., Liverpool


Dangerous Driving and No Insurance, Hamilton Sheriff Court

“I would like to take this opportunity to thank Michael Lyon and Martin Black for their advice, guidance, confidence and most importantly success in the above cases.

L.R., Glasgow


Speeding, Glasgow Justice of the Peace Court

“Many thanks for confirming my case has been treated as not called. This is absolutely great news and I appreciate everything you have done for me. This was my first experience of such an event and I am pleased to say that it has not been as painful as I thought. I cannot express my gratitude enough. If I find myself in a similar situation in the future, I will not hesitate to contact you or recommend you for that matter.”

G.E., Aberdeen


Speeding, Kilmarnock Justice of the Peace Court

“I would like to extend my appreciation to Martin Black and Michael Lyon for their hard work with my case. I was accused of speeding at 86mph in a 40mph limit although was acquitted after trial. I hope never to find myself in that situation again, but if I do, Michael Lyon Solicitors will be my first port of call. I will not hesitate in recommending them in the future.”

“I was recommended to Michael Lyon Solicitors. I had been charged with speeding and was already on nine points. I was advised that exceptional hardship was unlikely due to my circumstances and the only way to avoid a disqualification was to go for the acquittal. Needless to say, I was found not guilty and Michael Lyon Solicitors saved my driving licence.”
