Professional, Honest, and Determined – Highly Recommend

5

I had the privilege of working with Scullion Law during a challenging case, and I cannot thank them enough for the incredible support and expertise they provided.

A special mention goes to Anna MacKay, whose determination, professionalism, and unwavering commitment were key in achieving a favourable outcome, even when the odds seemed stacked against us. She was honest and transparent throughout the process, which gave me great confidence in the journey ahead.

I also want to acknowledge Amiee, who offered invaluable support and reassurance during a stressful period, and Shaun, whose initial conversation with me set the tone for the whole experience. He took the time to listen carefully and made sure I felt confident that Scullion Law was the right firm for my case.

I’m deeply grateful for the dedication and care shown by the entire team and would highly recommend Scullion Law to anyone in need of skilled, compassionate legal representation.

Feedback

Myself and my family cant thank Anna enough for her advice, help and assistance during a very stressful time for our family. Unfortunately our Son was subject to an assault and found himself in a very vulnerable situation. From the outset Anna and her team were very receptive to our needs as a family and could not have been more empathetic and professional during that time. Anna is calm, confident and extremely knowledgeable in handling the case through a protracted process, keeping her clients needs as the forefront. Anna truly cared and this shown through on the day. We are very grateful to Anna and her team and would have no hesitation in recommending Anna for her excellent work.

Common Assault Charge

5

Unfortunately I was caught up in a situation which I was charged with 2 x common assaults. This is very out of character for myself and was extremely concerned about the outcome of a court case based on the CCTV footage. I was recommended to contact Scullion Law and in particular Anna MacKay to represent me in this case. From the absolute get go Anna took control and reassured me that she would deal with everything and get all the information ready in preparation for the case. This was a very drawn out case that took 20 months to come to court. Anna kept in touch with myself and if Anna was not available then her office did. I felt completely reassured through out the process. Anna and myself watched the CCTV and I was fully aware of what the outcome could be. In the end although a guilty plea Anna presented my case so the PF and a fine was imposed which for myself was the best outcome. I really could not recommend Anna highly enough for her professionalism and support throughout this full process. Thank you Anna

Anna Mackay and team

5

I can’t thank Anna Mackay enough for the outstanding support she gave me throughout my case. From start to finish, she was knowledgeable, honest, and incredibly professional. Even though the outcome wasn’t what I’d hoped for, Anna stood by me every step of the way with genuine compassion and belief in me as a person, all while fighting for me to the very end.

She took the time to explain everything clearly, gave me the strength to keep going when things felt overwhelming, and opened doors that most people in my position never get the chance to walk through. It’s rare to find someone who brings both legal expertise and real heart to their work and that’s exactly what Anna did. I’ll always be grateful for her dedication.

The whole team at Scullion Law were fantastic and I’d urge anyone in any situation to seek their advice. A further thank you to Aimee, for your professionalism and dedication.

Amazing!

5

Having never been in trouble before and not really knowing what to do, I was delighted that I chose Anna to fight my case. From the outset Anna explains everything perfectly and she keeps you well informed about all matters relating to your case. I had so many sleepless nights worrying about going to prison but Anna fought for me and achieved the best possible outcome I could have received which was non custodial and I’m eternally grateful for her and her teams efforts throughout this challenging time. Anna has a real passion for helping people, a rare quality these days and I cant thank her enough. A truly exceptional lawyer.

Anna and her team are exceptional

5

Due to unfortunate circumstances and false accusations, we had to look for a lawyer - and we wanted to make sure we were working with the very best. Reviews on this website clearly showed that Scullion Law was a leader in criminal cases. After many conversations with Scullion Law’s client care team and further detailed research, we decided to work with Anna MacKay and her team.

One of Anna’s colleagues called her the “gold standard,” and we couldn’t agree more. Anna and Aimee Urquhart were amazing in supporting us through a very difficult and emotional time. They explained the whole process clearly, highlighted potential issues, and were incredibly patient with my endless stream of emails.

The way Anna handled the case in court was beyond words. She was exceptionally well prepared, eloquent, used the right arguments at the right time, and treated everyone with dignity and respect. We were truly fortunate to have Anna, her team, and a fair judgement.

My experience with Scullion Law

5

Anna MacKay dealt with my case leading up to the trial date and she handled all matters with great care and responsibility. She was excellent in keeping my mind at peace on the work that was happening behind the scenes. Due to a sudden change in circumstances Anna could no longer attend my trial date and asked man of the hour Darren Fleming to step in. My man Darren walked into court on the day of trial and had my 4 charges and the case binned before lunch time. I thought i would be defending myself in front of a jury by lunch time that day instead, i was having lunch in town and a pint to celebrate.
If i was to be convicted for even 1 of the 4 charges i had been accused of my life would have been put on hold for the worse for the foreseeable future.
I thank Anna MacKay, Darren Fleming and Scullion Law’s team for the amazing life changing service they provide.

Outstanding Representation

5

I cannot recommend Anna highly enough. From our first meeting, she brought not only deep legal expertise but also a level of care, determination, and clarity that made an incredibly difficult situation much easier to navigate. My case was complex and challenging, and the odds were far from ideal - but Anna never wavered. She communicated clearly, prepared thoroughly, and always kept me informed and confident at every stage.

Thanks to Anna’s strategic thinking and professionalism , we achieved a favourable outcome - one that even I personally thought would be extremely difficult. I truly believe the result wouldn’t have been the same without her. I highly recommend her if you need someone in your corner.

Its hard for me to write how happy I am with the outcome and positive results I received through Anna ( and Scullion Law ) and how extremely professional and kind they were with me.
Right now ,I am typing this words with tears in my eyes ( even strong men sometimes crying) and I can't believe its all finished and I can finally sleep well at night and having no more nightmares with me being in Jail.
With All the discussions and advices I received from Anna ,I felt like I was speaking with a real friend/family ( I only have 2 real friends in my life) .
When I was in primary school I was bullied and beaten and harassed by other kids and my Mother was defending me as I couldn't defend my self, so now with this problem I had at court and Anna defended me I felt like she is my mother defending me.
So, In conclusion I have no words how much I do appreciate and highly recommend first of all and especially Anna, and second of all the rest of the guys who work at Scullion Law.

Wow! After being unfairly charged with a offence, I approached Scullions for help on how to approach it. Anna McKay dealt with my case and after, what seemed a perilous situation with the courts, managed to resolve the situation and get a warning, rather than a criminal conviction.

I was very nervous and very concerned, Anna was great, clam, and very understanding.

Genuinely cannot believe the outcome we got!

Thank you Anna, and the team at Scullions.
