“I can’t thank Joe, Kayla, and the entire team at Joseph G Boyd & Co Court Lawyers enough. From start to finish, they were absolutely amazing! Professional, supportive, and genuinely caring throughout the entire process. As someone who can be a bit of a stresshead, I was honestly dreading the whole situation, but Joe and Kayla were incredible at keeping me calm and clearly explaining everything step by step. Their guidance and reassurance made a massive difference. (Even with the multiple calls and texts from me worrying they were always at the end of the phone to reassure and clam me down!) They dealt with the matter swiftly and professionally, and it’s now looking like no further action – case closed! I’m beyond grateful for their hard work and support. If you ever need a solicitor team that truly has your back, I 100% recommend Joseph G Boyd & Co. Thank you again, Joe, Kayla, and team you were all amazing and I am beyond grateful!”

“Outstanding and professional friendly service from the outset. Having made a call to Lawford Kidd and with only a couple of days to spare to get my work place claim in and processed, Derek Carrigan took on my claim knowing time wasn't on our side but this didn't phase him and he dealt with it in a very swift and professional manner. Always kept me updated through every stage of the claim procedure. The claim was settled from start to finish in three months, a lot quicker than I ever imagined. I must thank Derek for the way he put me at ease regarding my claim. I would highly recommend Derek and Lawford Kidd to anyone that requires such services.”

“Sandra and Julia are excellent lawyers. From the very beginning, Julia was very friendly, very respectful and highly professional and understanding to me and my mother. My case was very minor, and had an incredibly sensitive background. Julia was very respectful and understanding to my sensitive situation and I felt far more at ease. I was able ask as many questions as I needed to understand the process. Julia’s approach to my case was very thorough, well communicated and well planned and done in a timely manner. She made a robust Plan A for the case to be dropped in its entirety that made sense, as I was not guilty and this case was not in the public interest, to build the strongest possible defence. I felt my case was in safe hands. Julia kept me up to date throughout and if we needed extra time she was willing to do notional trial, instruct an independent psychologist and argue that my case was not in the public interest, which my previous solicitor Joe Boyd did not do or was not willing to do. Julia would also keep my mother informed as she was worried for me. That helped us both. Later, Julia’s colleague Sandra represented me too. It felt good to have two solicitors working together on my case. Sandra was also highly professional, respectful and understanding of my situation. Sandra was very respectful to my mother as well, who was supporting me. Sandra was briefed on the case and had a very good understanding of where we were at. She was very experienced and understood the case notes to represent my case being dropped. Sandra and Julia were also well prepared for back up plans too, for any scenario. For the first time, I finally felt secure in my choice of solicitor and representation and felt far more at ease than before. My case was successfully dropped in its entirety, which is the best possible outcome and many professionals and organisations supporting me were very happy to hear the good news. I’m very thankful I came to Hughes Walker and wish I hadn’t gone to any other firm previously. After having a very horrific and deeply humiliating and distressing experience from my previous solicitor Joe Boyd, and feeling hopeless with the direction of my case, I left Joe Boyd, and thankfully arrived at this firm Hughes Walker instead, and I am so glad I did, I only wish I never met Joe Boyd and came to Hughes Walker from the beginning, and I would never recommend Joe Boyd to others at all. At one point Joe Boyd threatened he would waive confidentiality because of an alleged google review and claimed he would take me to court for defamation for a google review. He was making false accusations, abusive legal threats, which had the effect of intimidating and frightening into silence. Joe Boyd is fundamentally abusive and taking advantage of his position of trust against me as vulnerable individual. His behaviour is unacceptable. I can safely recommend Hughes Walker, to anyone, and in my experience they are the best solicitors in this area and in Edinburgh that I have met. Sandra and Julia are excellent lawyers and me and mother and many others and very happy with this firm and the great outcome that was achieved”
