Criminal Law
We have a team of criminal law specialists. We can advise you in any of the following areas –
- Motoring offences, including drink driving and speeding
- Summons from the Public Prosecution Service
- Police charge sheets
When you are accused of a criminal offence, it is obviously very stressful and worrying. It is important to get professional advice, know your rights and how best to defend a case brought against you.
If you have been accused of a crime or charged with an offence, contact us and we will assist you when you need it most.
Criminal & motoring
If you are a victim of crime and suffered injury, you have a right to claim compensation through the Government Compensation Scheme. We can help you with this.
Under the Northern Ireland Criminal Injuries Compensation Scheme, you are not entitled to legal costs for our advice. Therefore our fee is deducted from any claim amount.
Our solicitors can discuss criminal injury claims with you and either give you the paperwork to complete yourself, or complete the forms with you (with an agreed fee before proceeding).

I approached Reid Black Solicitors having known Hamill Clawson for many years as a good dependable lawyer and having been badly let down and grossly overcharged by another solicitor. He referred me to his colleague, David French who was very approachable and went out of his way to help resolve matters equitably in a timely and stress free manner.As a busy professional, this invaluable advice from Hamill and, especially his partner David was greatly appreciated. I am impressed by the high standard of service offered by this Firm and would recommended their services without caveat.read more
