DPG solicitors have been helping individuals affected by police misconduct since the establishment of our parent firm, Deighton Guedalla, in 1987. Experiencing an abuse of authority by those entrusted to protect can be deeply distressing. Through landmark cases, our clients have played a vital role in shaping the law for the better in this area.

We have particular expertise in claims regarding Police Discrimination and Police Assaults and deaths in custody. More broadly, we assist clients in bringing Police Complaints and in challenging police negligence. We also advise clients on securing accountability for wrongful arrests, detention and prosecution.

How we can help

Our Actions Against the Police team has many years’ experience in these areas. We can provide you with expert legal representation, discuss the legal remedies available to you, and advise you on how best to go about pursuing them.

Funding your claim

If you are on a low income or receive a means-tested benefit, you may qualify for legal aid to cover the cost of your claim. If not, we may be able to offer a Conditional Fee Agreement (commonly known as a no-win, no-fee arrangement) or other flexible funding options.
