Top 10 of 187 law firms for Resisting Arrest, Actions against the police

Law firms ranked by client reviews

Resisting arrest covers situations where a person obstructs a police officer in the execution of duty, or otherwise interferes with the police while they are exercising powers to detain or arrest. A solicitor practising in this area helps someone charged with it to understand the offence, review the evidence, and guide them through the criminal process. They may draft statements, advise on disclosure, and represent the client at magistrates’ or crown court hearings, including plea discussions and sentencing considerations.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The key issue is the potential for criminal liability and a custodial or community-based sentence if convicted. A solicitor provides focused advocacy and ensures procedural safeguards are followed, including care over disclosure, timetabling, and the proper handling of any counter-allegations or police conduct during arrest.

Victoria Rees

Tagged solicitor Victoria Rees

The support and professional advice given me by Victoria Rees and Richard Etherington has been enormously helpful. Their communications have been clear, detailed and containing of my anxieties in relation to a difficult professional situation. Their assistance over several months has been in the form of emails, phone-calls and liaison with the police on my behalf. They were patient with my lack of knowledge of legal processes and systems and took time to clarify that I understood what might happen, including the options available to me. They were able to contain many of my anxieties and I felt very well supported. Overall they have provided an excellent service, for which I am most grateful.

Alice Wood

Tagged solicitor Alice Wood

I contacted Farleys in June/July 2023 seeking support and justice following various breaches by Greater Manchester Police during my unlawful detention in May 2023. Alice and Joseph were there every step of the way and kept me informed during every step of the process. GMP admitted responsibility in the most part for what I experienced and a fair outcome was settled out of court. Farleys helped to take the stress and anxiety out of taking on a Police force.

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.
