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.

Tagged solicitor Leeanne Cooper

Leeanne accompanied me to a police interview as my solicitor. From the moment I met her she put me at ease instantly and her knowledge was excellent. I felt she had my best interests from start to finish and I was extremely grateful for her assistance. I would highly recommend her to anyone as she was so professional.

Katie Forrest

Tagged solicitor Katie Forrest

I went with Forrest Williams as I liked the detail on their website and my initial conversation was comforting, I was then provided expert advice when i arrived for a police interview. I am not sure what went on behind the scenes but I received No further Action from the Police. i must thank Forrest Williams for all their hard work that went into my case and it was money well spent in my experience.
