False imprisonment is the unlawful, complete restriction of a person's liberty, whether by a police officer or another actor, without lawful justification. A solicitor in this area handles claims for damages where a person has been detained unlawfully, or subjected to an unlawful seizure of freedom, whether at a police station or in public or private spaces. They help gather evidence, review timing and proportionality of detention, draft pre-action letters, and pursue a claim in the County Court or High Court on behalf of the claimant.

Why this work is usually handled by a solicitor

The solicitor will explain how damages are assessed for unlawful detention, review whether constitutional rights were engaged, and address breaches of the Human Rights Act. They ensure professional standards apply, client accounts are protected, and that any conduct of litigation complies with regulatory duties and clients’ rights of audience in court.

Tagged solicitor Adrienne Wright

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 .
