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.

Adrienne Wright

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 .
