Claims against the police in England include civil causes such as assault and battery, false imprisonment, negligence, misfeasance in public office and malicious prosecution, and Human Rights Act 1998 breaches arising from stop‑and‑search, arrest, custody, use of force or data mishandling. A solicitor collects and preserves body‑worn camera footage, custody records, police notebooks, witness statements and medical reports; applies for disclosure and interim remedies in the County Court or High Court; makes complaints to the Independent Office for Police Conduct or to a chief constable; and represents clients in civil hearings and coronial inquests. Public‑law judicial review and data protection claims often run alongside tortious causes of action or settlement negotiations.

“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! ”

“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 .”
