We are a general civil and criminal practice who specialise in court work. Our main areas of work are listed below, however the list is not exhaustive so please contact us if you are not sure of the area of law you need help with. We pride ourselves on taking legal challenges and have helped shape the law on several matters. A number of our cases have been reported in both legal forums and in the press. We are also socially conscious and donate to numerous charities, including several children's charities which are close to our hearts.
FAMILY LAW
At Lee Doyle Solicitor we believe in the importance of family. Unfortunately, family relations can break down to the extent lawyers are needed. Our aim is to resolve manners in the most amicable way causing the least damage to family relations and the least expense to our client. Often we are able to resolve matters for our clients by negotiation and with the use of mediation services. Unfortunately, sometimes people just cant see eye to eye and a court action may be necessary. We have extensive experience in this area and will provide legal advice and support during what can be a stressful time.
We can help with: ADVICE; DIVORCE; CHILD DISPUTES (where they should live; who they should have contact with; what school they should attend etc); HARASSMENT( whether you are the accuser or the party defending the accusations); FINANCIAL AGREEMENTS; ADOPTION and APPEALS.
CHILDREN'S LAW
We have a particular passion for childrens cases and frequently represent parents; grandparents; other relatives and children themselves. Whomever we represent we always have the welfare of the child involved at heart. When a child is or may be taken into foster care we can help. We have represented clients in cases involving allegations of bad parenting; abuse; neglect; domestic violence and children who are beyond parental control, to name but a few. We have also been involved in extremely complex and some high profile medical cases where parents have been accused of injuring their child based on doctors' opinions. Whether your dispute is with the social work department; doctors; a children's panel decision or a court decision, our team cover the whole range of work in this field. We have helped shape the law in this area and never shy away from challenging the law.
We can help with: ADVICE; VOLUNTARY SOCIAL WORK AGREEMENTS; CHILDREN'S PANELS; APPEALS AGAINST CHILDREN'S PANEL DECISIONS; SEEKING RELEVANT PERSON STATUS AT A PANEL AND APPEALING SUCH DECISIONS TO THE SHERIFF COURT; SHERIFF COURT PROCEEDINGS; APPEALS AGAINST SHERIFF COURT DECISIONS; PERMANENCE ORDER APPLICATIONS; COMPLAINTS AGAINST SOCIAL WORK; SHAKEN BABY SYNDROME ALLEGATIONS; NON ACCIDENTAL INJURY ALLEGATIONS.
CRIMINAL LAW
We conduct criminal cases at all levels including High Court; Sheriff Court and Justice levels. We HATE unfairness and injustice and fight hard when our clients have been treated unfairly or falsely accused. We are equally happy to assist in testing the crown case and arranging the best pleas possible for our clients. As with all our work, we prepare thoroughly and investigate on your behalf so you have the best defence available when it comes to court. We have been involved in high profile cases and achieved excellent outcomes for many of our clients. We often take technical legal points on behalf of our clients to ensure the best outcomes. We are enrolled on the Scottish Legal Aid Board Duty scheme and appear in court for arrested persons who do not have a lawyer.
We can help with: ADVICE; POLICE STATION ATTENDANCES; SUMMARY TRIALS; JURY TRIALS; PLEAS; APPEALS AGAINST CONVICTION AND SENTENCE.
COMPENSATION CLAIMS
We can help with various types of claims and have connections to a personal injury network for a specialised service and with additional funding options. An injury may not only impact your health but your livelihood and the right advice early on can make a difference. We like to right a wrong and have also been involved in claims against the police and other public bodies.
We can help with: ROAD TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS; PERSONAL INJURY CLAIMS; CRIMINAL INJURIES CLAIMS; MEDICAL NEGLIGENCE CLAIMS; DAMAGES CLAIMS.
As we said, the list is not exhaustive. We have dealt with breach of contract matters; complaints; housing issues; neighbour disputes and various other types of cases. If in doubt just get in touch and we can advise if your case is something we can take on.
