About McClure Collins
We are a firm of solicitors based in the Southside of Glasgow but covering much of Scotland. Established in 1984, we have over 80 years’ combined experience in appearing in Courts and Tribunals for clients and also providing advice in many areas of Scot’s Law including criminal defence, mental health and children’s hearings. We are committed to providing a high-quality professional service with personalised representation and legal advice tailored to your individual circumstances.
We pride ourselves in being approachable and having good communication with all clients is central to our work. Consequently, we get many referrals from organisations who specialise in working with vulnerable people who have suffered adversity and can find communication difficult.
We endeavour to leave no stone unturned.
