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

Law firms ranked by client reviews

Wrongful arrest covers the unlawful detention of a person by a police officer or force, or arrest without proper justification, in England and Wales. A solicitor working in this area helps someone who believes they were unlawfully detained to review what happened, gather evidence, and pursue remedies. They advise on how to obtain CCTV, witness statements, medical records, and any relevant police notes, then prepare statements of claim or a settlement approach for the courts. The aim is to challenge the legality of the arrest and recover damages where appropriate.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The key risk is the arrest being unlawful, meaning a violation of the right to liberty with potential damages for distress, loss of earnings, or stigma. A solicitor provides guidance on the proper statutory and common-law standards, ensures timely claims, and manages procedural steps to press the claim, while protecting your position through disclosure and the courts' oversight.

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.

Rachel Fletcher

Tagged solicitor Rachel Fletcher

Lady Justice is meant to be impartial. She is not. She fails miserably daily. Having found myself being dragged through the law courts by Norfolk Constabulary and their crooked Police Constables, I needed expert representation. Slater Heelis Solicitors were highly recommended. Which is where I met Rachel Fletcher. Rachel was not only the light at the end of a very dark tunnel, but she also brought with her a bonfire, burning fiercely with such a sense for justice and integrity. I did not only feel but I knew I was getting the best person for the battle ahead. Rachel and her team- Richard Orme- Rachel Mason-Hunter Grey all fought and got justice for me. With a big smile and a nod, THANK YOU x

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 .
