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.
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.

Tagged solicitor Digby Johnson
I was arrested by the police at my house for no reason, they took me to the police station and left me in the cells for hours. As soon as I contacted Johnsons, I was interviewed within 20 minutes and an hour later I was released without charge.
