About Us

About Clyde Defence Lawyers

Trusted Criminal Defence

Clyde Defence Lawyers was born from the merger of long-standing local firms, Lafferty Reid and Croziers, over 14 years ago. Now with offices in Clydebank and Dumbarton, we’re rooted in the communities we serve.

Our dedicated team has been with us since the merger, and through our internship programme, we’ve helped local young people take their first steps into the legal profession.

Supporting Clients Across Scotland

We represent clients in Glasgow and Dumbarton Sheriff Courts, the High Court, and across Scotland. We understand that contacting a defence lawyer often comes at one of the most difficult moments in life, and we work hard to make the process clear, supportive, and stress-free.

We take a personal approach to every case; listening carefully, guiding you at your pace, and ensuring you feel supported, informed, and never alone. Today, Philip leads our Clydebank office while Judith runs Dumbarton, continuing our commitment to stand by clients when they need us most.
