Iain is the GOAT, he is a lion and will take your case on when others

Iain is a great solicitor, he will assist you to the best of his abilities, and has no fear of taking on cases against the Police or government contractors. He calla a spade a spade and gives the best legal advice based on the merits of the case. He is very to the point and gives opinions based on how a Court may view certain aspects. He picked up my case against NES after one of there agents falsely imprisoned me and assaulted me. He quickly negotiated a substantial settlement out of Court and the funds arrived the next working day. He is the best Solicitor with the most integrity and efficiency I have ever dealt with. He is tenacious and always available for his clients. Thank you Iain

Actions against the police

Court summons sent to wrong address. Actions against police.

I was wrongfully arrested after Nottingham Police sent my court summons to the wrong address. They got the right address when wrongfully arresting me, and forced me to attend court after being kidnapped all night. Thank goodness I found Iain Gould, and his firm DPP, in less than 6 months he has settled my case with Police admitting liability, and psychological damages. Iain made the process streamlined and I can’t recommend him enough to anyone seeking to sue the police. His experience and expertise in this field are unmatched, and you can be confident your case is in the right hands.

Absolutely brilliant Solicitors

My actions against the police solicitor has been Aiden. Ian has provided some consultation, advice + oversite (Being the manager on the team) on the case, which has been fantastic! But it's been Aiden that has been my soliticitor on the case. From the first day I have spoken to Aiden, he has been absolutely honest, down to earth and listened to every single word I've said from start to finish. And I have said alot of words! He has done brilliant work on my case. His letters, along with some non professional input from me, have been nothing short of first rate. He made sure it was a collaborative process at all times. What I went through was horrible and traumatic. Aiden In my corner, reduced my anxiety about it all because he was so good with me. He believed and understood technically, legally and on a personal level how this all effected me. Aiden resolved my case quickly. He not only delivered on what he said to me before taking on the case, but his integrity is inspiring. He's a very honest person and has never misled me or told me something that wasn't helpful or truthful. When you have faced what I have, it was so important to me to have someone like that representing me. Having Ian nearby for his input was exceptionally helpful too. Aiden never put a foot wrong with me or my case. Hes always responded to me in a very timely fasion, responding to me quickly in a really helpful way. He has achieved an excellent resolution to my case, truley believing in its merits and justice for me. The firm went seriously out of their way to help me, i wont go into specifics, but when i needed them as a client and on a human level, they very much stepped straight up to the plait! Looking back on it now its been a great experiance during a stressful time. Thanks Aiden and to the team. One happy client

We used Iain at DPP Law for a case against the Surrey and West Mercia police. The case took approx. 18 months to resolve. It was a very complicated case and Iain did an incredible job to do everything he could to get us the justice we deserved. We would highly recommend DPP Law. Thankyou for all your hard work! Sonya

Went to see Iain Gould at this office over complaint against Merseyside Police. Iain is very straight to the point and gave honest advice in understandable terms, so we pursued a claim for Breach of Human rights. WE WON 26th June 2018. So no matter how trivial your complaint is about any police force please call Iain as this man knows his stuff and will get the justice you deserve. My win shows that the police are NOT above the law and there is justice believe it or not and Iain believed in us. Thanks again Iain & matt Rich & Michelle
