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.

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.
