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

Law firms ranked by client reviews

This area covers when a person is detained by the police without lawful justification, i.e. false imprisonment or unlawful arrest. A solicitor in this field acts for the person who was detained, reviewing what happened, gathering evidence, and pursuing a claim for damages for the period of detention and any resulting harm. They advise on liability, collect witness statements, obtain police records, and draft and issue a claim in the county court or high court as appropriate, with support on settlement or trial. Proceedings can involve disclosure, medical evidence, and quantification of losses.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The key protection is that unlawful arrest or false imprisonment cannot be unchallenged; the client seeks compensation for the detention's consequences, including any physical or psychological harm, disruption to life, and financial loss. A solicitor provides regulated professional oversight, with accountability and client confidentiality, to ensure the claim follows the correct procedural steps and evidence is properly marshalled.

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.

I was falsely detained a few weeks ago and it was my first time ever in a police station I was so nervous and panicked but when Shannon arrived she explained everything to me and helped me through everything she was a wonderful lawyer but most importantly a good person.

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!
