Top 10 of 187 law firms for Challenging Arrests, Actions against the police

Law firms ranked by client reviews

Challenging arrests covers civil claims for unlawful or improper police detention, including false imprisonment and abuses of power such as unlawful arrest or excessive use of force. A solicitor in this area helps clients issue a claim in the County Court or High Court, collect key evidence (witness statements, custody records, CCTV), identify the correct defendant (police authority or individual officer), value the claim, and pursue remedies such as damages or apologies, often through settlement discussions or court proceedings.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The decision to pursue an arrest challenge turns on whether detention fell outside lawful authority, breached rights under the Human Rights Act, or involved procedural failings. A solicitor protects the client by assembling regulated professional processes, handling court filings, and guiding potential remedies like damages, with attention to deadlines and evidential requirements.

Although only TV Edwards attended the voluntary police interview with me, the solicitor present was highly professional, knowledgeable about the procedures, and provided clear, well-structured guidance for the interview. This preparation helped me feel more confident and ready for the questions ahead. After the interview, the solicitor thoroughly explained my next steps and reassured me of their ongoing support throughout .

As a result of an altercation with a neighbour I was arrested and kept overnight in the cells. I requested legal representation to help and to guide me through this ordeal. A Stryderslaw representative arrived the following morning to help and to represent me and I was immediately reassured and advised as to how to proceed. The case was eventually dropped months later but through out this time I was always able to seek advice and help from my solicitor. Thank you Stryders for your help, advice and reassurance throughout this ordeal.
