"I was charged with murder after I defended myself against a man who broke into my house and attacked me. I chose Andy Aitken to be my lawyer. Andy and his team were brilliant. They gathered all the evidence to show what had really happened.
Andy then had various meetings with the prosecution, who were persuaded to drop the case against me. I feel like I owe Andy my life."SP, Bathgate
