Previous Cases - How we can help

Harley & Co represented the accused in the Louise Tiffney disappearance in the Perth High Court Murder Trial in 2004 (Lead Counsel-Frances Mcmenamin).


Mr Harley also achieved an acquittal for Trevor Adams, the Master of Foxhounds facing the first Scottish Prosecution under the Protection of Wild Mammals (Scotland) Act 2002 at Jedburgh Sheriff Court in December 2004. (Case reported in the Scottish Criminal Case Reports 2005 at Page 54).


More recently the redoubtable Kenny Richey finding himself in hot water in this country after a spell in the US also had Mr Harley's assistance (along with Ronnie Renucci Advocate) when Mr Richey walked from Paisley High Court in March 2009 with two charges of Assault and a charge of Attempt to Pervert being dismissed, and the accused being admonished for a Breach of Peace in Court.
