Top 10 of 187 law firms for Arrest Rights, Actions against the police

Law firms ranked by client reviews

Arrest Rights cover what happens when a person is stopped and held by the police in England. It includes being informed of the reason for arrest, having access to a solicitor, and the right to consult a lawyer privately while in custody. A solicitor helps check the lawfulness of detention, reviews evidence, and can apply for bail or discharge if appropriate. The area also deals with the rules governing timing, interrogation, and the treatment of detainees under the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The arrest triggers urgent decisions: whether detention is lawful, what questions may be asked, and how quickly a person should be released or brought before a magistrate. A solicitor provides protection against improper treatment, ensures compliance with time limits, and investigates any breaches of reasonable conduct, safeguarding the client’s position through access to legal advice, representations, and appropriate applications in court.

Beth Nichol

Tagged solicitor Beth Nichol

I cannot recommend my solicitor Beth Nichol highly enough. She represented me during a voluntary attendance police interview and was exceptional from start to finish. She took the time to explain the process clearly, listened carefully to my concerns, and made sure I understood my rights at every stage. Her calm, professional and reassuring manner helped me feel far more confident during what was an extremely stressful situation. I am incredibly grateful for her guidance and support and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone needing legal representation. Thank you for making such a difficult experience much more manageable.

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!
