What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Glasgow clients of this family and criminal defence practice describe outcomes achieved and the steady handling of sensitive proceedings. Child arrangements applications, children's hearing panel work and proof hearings recur, with one account of a referral being discharged after ten stressful months. Michael Gallon, Brian Cooney and Ciara Bradley are named individually, credited with clear, practical advice suited to the circumstances and with keeping clients informed from first consultation through to conclusion.

A recurring theme is the reassurance clients drew from knowing they were supported during difficult periods, the same solicitors being praised for patience and gentleness alongside robust courtroom representation. Preparation for High Court defence work and close attention to detail attract particular comment, while acquittals and favourable outcomes before sheriffs are attributed to persistent effort. One person seeking work experience was offered a shadowing day and found the whole team welcoming, and Lucy is thanked for guiding a family through an application that ended with the order granted. Each phase of a case, from initial meeting to final hearing, is described as being handled with the same level of care.

Lucy provided excellent support throughout our child arrangements order application. She kept us fully informed at every stage, offered clear and practical advice, and handled the matter efficiently from start to finish. Her professionalism and confidence gave us reassurance throughout the process, and we were delighted to achieve the outcome we hoped for, the order was granted, allowing us to take my children on holiday to the USA. I would highly recommend Lucy to anyone seeking expert family law advice.

Genuinely don’t have a bad word to say. Michael and the team have helped me to get the result I was after while being caring and gentle with me when I was finding things tough. Couldn’t recommend them more. Thank you to the whole team. Just to add, unfortunately I found myself dealing with a second more serious situation, but from the very beginning I had the best possible people in my corner. Michael and the team have supported me every step of the way, showing not only incredible professionalism and dedication, but genuine care, compassion and understanding during probably the most difficult period in my life. No words will ever fully express how thankful I am for everything Michael and the team have done for me. They fought my corner, kept me reassured when things felt overwhelming, and made a very difficult process so much easier to get through. The support, patience, and kindness they showed me throughout is something I will never forget. Michael truly cares for his clients and it shows. In the best possible way, I sincerely hope I never need legal help again, but if I ever do, I wouldn’t trust anyone else. From the bottom of my heart, thank you again to Michael and the entire team. I will always be grateful for everything you have done for me. I owe you everything. If you’ve found yourself in a similar position to me and you’re looking for the right people, trust me when I say you’ve found them.

Family court Fleming & Reid Solicitors did not meet the level of professionalism and care I expected. There were problems with preparation, communication, and how important information was handled. Key points were not properly put forward or challenged, and correct information was not submitted when it should have been. Overall, the service felt disorganised and lacking attention to detail, and the advice given was not reliable. I represented myself and have reversed every bad decision they created and won my appeals Their incompetence added nearly two extra years to a case that was close to being resolved. Based on my experience, I would avoid and all family court matters to go elsewhere

I had my initial consultation with Michael Gallon who was very professional and very helpful in keeping me updated. My pleading diet was handled by Ciara Bradley who was very much the same but the star of the Show was Brian Cooney who managed to get me a very favourable outcome with one of the sheriff’s who is the hardest to deal with. I was convinced I was going to prison but Brian worked tirelessly to convince the sheriff to give me a community sentence. I can’t thank everyone who I dealt with at Flemming and Reid highly enough for getting me through what was a very stressful time in my life. I couldn’t recommend them highly enough. Thank you guys ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I had Ms Bradley as my solicitor in my children's hearing panel/proof hearing case. After a long 10 months of stress the grounds were not established and the referral was discharged. Highly recommend. Thank You
