Other lawyers have recognised when their clients have been unlawfully detained due to an administrative error by:

Some have established, during the course of a prosecution or at trial, blatant police misconduct  or corruption.

If you are a criminal defence solicitor looking to refer your client to me, your client will be in good hands.

I am a renowned expert in police misconduct claims having successfully sued all 43 police forces in England and Wales and numerous other government bodies, including the Ministry of Justice.

Many criminal defence solicitors across England and Wales refer their clients to me.

Here’s what Paul Cantrell of Reading says:

About 20 years ago I began to take on claims for unlawful detention for criminal clients wrongfully arrested by police. I had no previous experience. Nobody else in my firm handled them.   So, I looked for a practitioner from another firm, who might be able to help. I came across Iain’s name and so ever since I have asked Iain for guidance on possible claims.

He has been an invaluable assistance in advising on the merits of cases and identifying those which are worth pursuing. I have referred several of the trickier ones to him to take on himself and I have been impressed or more accurately amazed at the results he has been able to obtain. It has helped me to develop this line of work to the extent that other firms now pass on their cases to me and I have the confidence to know I have Iain’s support, if necessary.

He is clearly one of the most accomplished lawyers in this field and I would have no hesitation in recommending him to both fellow lawyers and lay clients.
