Top 10 of 187 law firms for Actions Against a Prison, Actions against the police

Law firms ranked by client reviews

This work covers civil claims arising from the treatment of people within the prison estate and from conditions and management of prisons in England. It includes negligence or breach of statutory duty by prison staff or contractors, and Human Rights Act claims where a detainee’s rights have been breached. A solicitor representing a claimant investigates what happened, gathers medical and incident records, drafts and serves claims against the Prison Service and its agents, and handles pre‑trial disclosure and evidence. The work is shaped by deadlines, the need to prove breach of duty, and the availability of remedies such as damages or injunctions against mistreatment.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The key protection is avoiding irreversible effects from harm or ongoing mistreatment; the claim hinges on established duties of care, the reasonableness of prison management, and the consequences for a detainee. Proceedings typically rely on the Limitation Act 1980, evidence gathering from prison records, and potential human rights considerations; regulators and the courts will scrutinise detention conditions, safety, and fairness of treatment.

Jen Law

Tagged solicitor Jen Law

I was recently required to attend a voluntary interview at a police station. After comparing local law firms I decided to proceed with Slee Blackwell based on reviews and the service received upon enquiry (others were quite rude) . I was represented by Jen Law. Very impressed with the level of professionalism and knowledge from Jen. All potential outcomes were meticulously assessed and the advice received was excellent. Luckily Jens time was covered under the free advice at police stations scheme however if this was not the case I would of happily paid based on the level of service received. I highly recommend Jen Law and Slee Blackwell should anyone be needing legal advice.

Hannah Costley

Tagged solicitor Hannah Costley

I recently engaged Hannah Costley after being asked to attend a voluntary police interview. Having never been in trouble of any kind before I was incredibly distressed, Hannah recognised this and was proactive in immediately making contact with the police and taking as much of the stress away as she could. Hannah was understanding, compassionate and most importantly she listened to me. Her advice was broken down in a clear and concise way so that I had a clear understanding of next steps and she kept me fully up to date with where things were upto. Thankfully and no doubt thanks to Hannah's representations the matter was closed hours after my interview however Hannah continued to advocate for me after the fact when the police tried to impose unfair conditions. When already in a very distressing situation it can feel even more overwhelming having to reach out to a legal representative for help for fear of being judged however I can assure anyone finding themselves in a similar situation to the one I was in, after just the first few minutes of speaking with Hannah you will feel completely supported and the burden will feel less! I can't thank you or recommend you enough Hannah!
