I used Keven McCarron as a defence solicitor back in 2004 for an assault charge, I must confess i had a weapon with me at the time but i struck the victim with my hand and with my knee and then left the scene of the crime, later on in the day I was sitting at home and the door got kicked in by the riot police to charge me with attempted murder, when I was detained in the police office I had contacted Keven McCarron to represent my argument for my innocence as I had only struck this person with my fist and my knee and the charge was for an attempted to murder with a knife resulting in the victim being stabbed, I was later placed on a full remand for this crime, which I did not commit, through the time I was on remand I was placing my trust in Kevin McCarron to investigate the case but it was bad news after bad news, to cut a long story short, Kevin McCarron had said to me, even though that I had only punched and kneed the victim and that I had left a weapon at the scene of the crime and there was the victims d&a on the weapon, nobody had witnessed the assault and if I was to argue this case in court the judge would make an example of me and sentence me to a high level, but I could plead guilty to the crime and I could be granted a plea bargain for the attempted to murder charge. After taking the solicitor advice I thought considering the circumstances he would know the best outcome to take, baring in mind that I trusted him completely at the time, I was sentenced to 10 years and 9 months. When I release from prison and started to congregate back into society, I was being told that on the day that the crime had been committed the victim and their friend after I had assault then with my fist and my knee they had pulled a knife from her pocket and started to stab herself were I had hit her with my knee and after the victim had stabbed her self she had handed the knife to her friend and she stabbed her too in front of her 4 year old son, which I got the blame for, and there was about 5 to 6 witnesses who had all gave witness confessions to the police who had witnessed the stabbing there self, to place the blame on me,
Kevin McCarron must have new this as he would have had full access to all the case files from the police office and the witness statements would be a part of the case file for the case, so they wouldn’t had went by him, in other words he new that they had self inflicted these injuries, he set me up for this crime and conspired with the police officers who were investigating the case Jonny Corcoran and DCI McGee from Easterhouse police station to plant the evidence to secure the conviction, sounds bazar, but the truth.
DO NOT TRUST HIM

I told Mr Turnbull of my situation he laughed and said the other people where at fault and they would not want this all coming out in court as even I knew they would get jailed on the final day he told me not to worry then someone on the other side came in spoke with him and gave him a cheque then all of a sudden I was to plead guilty shocking and corrupt

I had used these lawyers for a previous case were i had to point out things from the cctv video to help myself, i then used them for a driving offence which i should never had been guilty for but they sent someone down on the day who knew nothing about the case asked a couple questions and said if i pleaded guilty and accepted the points i will keep my lisence and didnt tell me they gor back dates to the offence or nothing like that which resulted in me loosing my lisence because of these points, then they werent interested when i called up to let the lawer know what who was supposed to be there to represent me, they basically just took the case on but tried to get it over with and get rid of me soon as possible insted of even attempting to fight it for me. I would not recommend and i will never use them again !

I met Joanne for the initial interview. I'm a separated father who wasn't getting to see my kids as much I should have. I felt that Joanne was not impartial and that her actions and advice in that 30mins interview was bias in favour towards my ex. I just presumed that this was unconscious bias towards men in my situation. I decided not to press forward with their legal support as I didn't believe that Joanne displayed the values of her profession in the short time she had to make an impression.

Only used the practise in Partick. They claimed legal aid but did nothing for it. I was so disgusted with them I left to find another solicitor. They wasted 5 months of my time and when I got my documents back I found some of them were missing. They denied this when I complained. They didn't even look for my missing paperwork.

Worst law practice I have used regarding my child custody case
Complete money grabbing cowboys who couldn’t care less about your case all they are interested in is making as much money out of you as possible
At one point I was phoning my so called solicitor Joanne Gray for 3 weeks before she returned my call
Constantly trying to pass you off to an understudy and the first time she was supposed to be at court with me she sent another solicitor who wasn’t up to date with the case
Then when I had to go back to court again and had to apply for civil legal aid which Joanne charged me £600 to do the paperwork (which again she passed onto to someone else to do) giving me a guarantee it would go through ok was then refused and she told me I would have to give her another £480 to appeal it at this point I had had enough and told her what I thought of her and walked away
Please stay away from this firm as they will only rip you off and treat you like shit in the process

Recently Michael O'Neil represented my partner in a case against him. Even tho we gave him plenty of evidence for the defence case and had witnesses he failed to put that information forward to the sheriff. We felt he couldn't be bothered with the paper work and was pressuring my partner to plee guilty. My partner admitted what he had done which was a breach of the peace and why he done so. The charge was reduced to the breach but the lawyer failed to explain his version of events or defend his actions in anyway and my partner was gave a heavy fine for something so trivial and if the full story was gave would've been a different outcome. He never researched the case or even looked at the evidence on either side until the trial! Absolutely wouldn't recommend to anyone.

I won't even give them a star!!!.Totally unprofessional nadine didn't fallow the code of practice. In a family case that a miss heron was the original solicitor and then thay get your legal aid money and don't give a dam an hit you with a under study/trainee solicitor!!!
So thay are fly by night cowboys And I am still being messd about trying to get my case papers of them I have had the phone slammed down on me when I spoke with Kevin mccarron one of the lead partners. I was to be at court today and had to ask the judge to poot the case back 4 week's
I am making a formal complaint with the Scottish legal complaints commission.
So avoid at all costs bad practice.
