If you are found guilty or plead guilty to a charge then the Sheriff will have a number of options available.

They can impose a custodial sentence or a fine or sentence can be deferred. Sentence can be deferred for a number of reasons but the most common reason for deferring sentence is to allow the Sheriff to obtain a Criminal Justice Social Work Report.

Frequently Asked Questions

We can help every step of the way.

If a sentence is deferred by the Sheriff this is often to obtain a Social Work Report which is compiled by the Social Work Department. This is often after an interview with you, providing the Sheriff with detailed information about your background including your education, employment record, personal circumstances and your income.

The Report advises the Sheriff of your attitude towards the offence and gives a recommendation as to how the Sheriff should deal with the case so you must cooperate with the author of this Report, express your remorse and put yourself across in a positive light.

Michael was excellent from start to finish. Very professional, friendly and available to answer any questions and offer reassurance throughout the full process. The outcome of my case was better than expected thanks to his hard work. I can’t thank Michael enough and would recommend him to anyone who finds themselves in need of legal representation.
