Hodge Jones & Allen

How do I get justice?

If you have suffered injustice at the hands of those in authority or been wrongfully arrested, you don't have to suffer in silence. Contact a civil liberties solicitor to ask for help.

Seeking justice and compensation - even an apology - is rarely straightforward. Some cases can take years of campaigning, changing laws and new evidence before the right result is established. However we can help and we will help you fight your case to get the result you deserve. The talented and committed civil liberties team has helped many clients win their cases in areas especially in the areas of:

• Actions against the Police
• Miscarriages of Justice
• Inquests and Deaths in custody
• Military inquests
• Judicial review

Civil Liberties (Human Rights) cases

Hodge Jones & Allen lawyers have assisted with many high profile civil liberties cases including: the Bridgewater Four, Peter Fell, Michael Davis and Raphael Rowe. We also represented the Parents' Committee at the New Cross Fire Inquest.

More recently, we have represented families of soldiers killed in Snatch Land Rovers in Iraq and Afghanistan, and represented Neville Lawrence, successfully getting a judicial review after the case had been closed - resulting in a trail and conviction of two of the gang members who killed his son Stephen in 1993.

Whatever your issue, call us in the first instance and find out if we can take your case on. We will explain to you how we can help you and provide you with the support and advice you need. If you are concerned about financing your fight for justice then we can also advise on the available funding options.

Jocelyn Cockburn continues to represent Neville Lawrence, father of Stephen Lawrence, and is also ‘particularly good in military inquests’.
