Top 10 of 187 law firms for Excessive force or assault, Actions against the police

Law firms ranked by client reviews

This area covers civil claims against police officers for excessive force or unlawful assault. A solicitor helps clients gather evidence such as witness statements, medical records and any CCTV or body‑worn video, then drafts and issues statements of case, applies for interim remedies if needed, and represents the client at court hearings or in negotiations with the Crown Prosecution Service or police insurers. The aim is to obtain damages for injury, distress and loss of liberty, and to hold authorities to account.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The core issue is proving an unlawful or excessive use of force by an officer and establishing the link to harm suffered. A regulated solicitor brings evidence, negotiates settlements, and, if necessary, presents the claim in the county or high court, with attention to preserving evidence, timelines, and any caps on damages.

Sunil Jagatia

Tagged solicitor Sunil Jagatia

Sunil was professional precise in what I had to do for the police to realease me on bail after being held in a police cell fir 20 plus hours which was dramatic. He also made sure I was legally given everything I was entitled to, to make sure my stay at the police station was as comfortable as possible.

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.
