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.

Ameeta Patel

Tagged solicitor Ameeta Patel

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.

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.

Jen Law

Tagged solicitor Jen Law

I was recently required to attend a voluntary interview at a police station. After comparing local law firms I decided to proceed with Slee Blackwell based on reviews and the service received upon enquiry (others were quite rude) . I was represented by Jen Law. Very impressed with the level of professionalism and knowledge from Jen. All potential outcomes were meticulously assessed and the advice received was excellent. Luckily Jens time was covered under the free advice at police stations scheme however if this was not the case I would of happily paid based on the level of service received. I highly recommend Jen Law and Slee Blackwell should anyone be needing legal advice.

Hannah Costley

Tagged solicitor Hannah Costley

I recently engaged Hannah Costley after being asked to attend a voluntary police interview. Having never been in trouble of any kind before I was incredibly distressed, Hannah recognised this and was proactive in immediately making contact with the police and taking as much of the stress away as she could. Hannah was understanding, compassionate and most importantly she listened to me. Her advice was broken down in a clear and concise way so that I had a clear understanding of next steps and she kept me fully up to date with where things were upto. Thankfully and no doubt thanks to Hannah's representations the matter was closed hours after my interview however Hannah continued to advocate for me after the fact when the police tried to impose unfair conditions. When already in a very distressing situation it can feel even more overwhelming having to reach out to a legal representative for help for fear of being judged however I can assure anyone finding themselves in a similar situation to the one I was in, after just the first few minutes of speaking with Hannah you will feel completely supported and the burden will feel less! I can't thank you or recommend you enough Hannah!
