Trusted Legal Expertise

Bruce Short Solicitors was founded in 1988 by Michael Short who is the firm’s Principal Solicitor and head lawyer. We are based in Dundee City Centre, a mere 30 second walk from the court in Dundee, and our defence lawyers can assist you in Justice of the Peace Courts, Sheriff Courts and High Courts throughout Tayside, Central and Fife as well as the rest of Scotland.

We have strong connections within the legal community and are one of the biggest criminal defence law firms in Dundee. Since our founding, we have had hundreds of criminal and civil solicitors work, train and qualify with us, and many now run their own firms, or strive as practitioners in the High Court and Sheriff Court through the country.

Together, our solicitors have over 100 years of experience in criminal defence courts and have vast amounts of experience and knowledge in cases including, but not limited to:-

– Murder, Attempted Murder & Culpable Homicide
– Rape & Sexual Assault
– Drug Offences
– Domestic Abuse
– Assault
– Theft, Shoplifting and Robbery
– Firearms Offences
– Possessing Offensive Weapons
– Road Traffic Offences
– Breach of the Peace
– Removal of Disqualification from Driving

This is only some of the categories that we deal with. If you are charged, questioned, fined – or suspected to be – in a Scottish Court, we are here to help. We won’t list all the matters that we deal with, as you would be reading that list all day!

We can also help you with certain Petitions and Court Documents that you may not be sure about. If you are unsure, please contact us. It is always better to be safe than sorry and even a quick chat with one of our experienced solicitors can go a long way.
