The Road Traffic Lawyers in Dumfries

Michael Lyon Solicitors Limited specialises exclusively in criminal road traffic defence. Since the firm began in 2007, our work has focused entirely on representing clients in road traffic cases.

Some of our cases attract considerable attention, but every client receives the same careful, professional and ethical advice. We are committed to maintaining the highest standards of representation throughout.

Our expertise is recognised through the judicial training we are regularly asked to provide to Justices of the Peace on road traffic law. Michael Lyon is also the accredited Consultant on the Road Traffic Offences and Disqualification section of The Stair Memorial Encyclopaedia, a respected academic text for solicitors practising road traffic law in Scotland. No other firm in Scotland has received the same accreditation. Over the years, we have acted for sports stars, celebrities, Police Officers, Traffic Police Officers, politicians, solicitors, King's Counsel, television stars and many others.

We are a private client firm and do not offer legal aid. Initial advice is always free, and where appropriate we are happy provide a recommendation for legal aid if funding cannot be secured.

Whether it is a speeding charge on a busy road or a serious charge of careless or dangerous driving, we have secured acquittals across the full range of road traffic offences.

We have substantial experience in the Dumfries and Stranraer Sheriff Courts and the Justice of the Peace Courts.

Over the last 25 years, we have represented thousands of motorists. If you need our assistance, we act on a fixed-fee basis, and our searchable track record below shows the sort of cases we have successfully defended before.
