Información sobre la empresa

  1. Abogado de derecho civil

Escrito por la empresa

Securing Justice when Police Power is Abused.   I’m a solicitor specialising in complaints and civil actions against the police – helping individuals pursue justice after experience of unlawful arrest, excessive force, or other forms of misconduct. With over 30 years of experience and a national reputation, I have successfully sued all 43 police forces in England and Wales and numerous other government bodies, including the Ministry of Justice, and also private security companies challenging abuse of power and securing rightful compensation.   My mission is to ensure that the law protects ordinary people. I believe in holding those in authority to account, defending civil liberties, and making justice accessible to anyone who has been mistreated by the police. Every case I take on is about much more than compensation – it’s about restoring dignity, enforcing accountability, and making real change happen. It’s also about restoring faith in the justice system, by empowering citizens and upholding the best traditions of British liberty.

So Iain represented me for an unlawful arrest case where the police came and wrongfully arrested me due to not knowing how to do their job properly at 2.30am one morning and woke my kids up and removed them from the property and took them somewhere they clearly said they didn't want to go to. Iain was a great solicitor, he constantly kept in contact with me and kept me updated with what was happening even though they wanted to drag this out for a good couple years he didn't stop with his persistence and was very professional and didn't settle for nothing but what was right. Anyone who has had these bad experiences with the police I would definitely recommend him to help you out. Thanks alot Iain, very grateful for your help and everything you done for me and my family mate.💪💖👑

Excellent Blog

Fortunately, I have had no need to use this firm. However, I have read for some time the weekly blog where real cases (names withdrawn) are shared. The tenacity with which cases are pursued is impressive. If the police mistreat me Ian Gould will be my first call.

Iain Gould - The Gold Standard Legal Voice

Iain Gould is assisting me with a legal grievance against Lincolnshire Police.
He is the highly dignified, supremely knowledgeable and professional 'Voice of Calm' in the situation.
He is exceptionally well versed into the behaviours of this force, and their PSD complaints 'procedures', which offers a complete sense of safety in his care. His exceptional scrutiny and competence is obvious.
His attention to my case is unfailing and thorough, enabling me to honestly recommend Iain to several affected individuals from our support group, and knowing that in the future, I can confidently recommend him and his legal practise to anyone seeking redress - especially against the UK police.
Iain Gould deserves a National Honour for his dedication to honest justice - where the UK Police routinely practise dishonesty and corruption to avoid accountability for poor, dangerous, illegal behaviour.

Successful outcome: Unlawful arrest and stinger deployment

I instructed Iain following an incident involving a stinger deployment by police while I was driving, despite being completely innocent. My vehicle was brought to a sudden stop, I was detained by officers, and what followed amounted to an unlawful arrest after the stinger deployment, leaving me distressed.

After initially being denied any compensation by the police, I turned to Iain for help. He was outstanding from the outset: calm, professional, and highly efficient. He quickly got to grips with the details of my case, challenged the police’s position, and uncovered clear evidence of their mistake surrounding the stinger deployment and unlawful arrest.

Thanks to his expertise and persistence, my case was successfully resolved and I received fair compensation far beyond my initial losses, reflecting both the unlawful arrest and the consequences of the stinger deployment.

Iain made a difficult situation much easier to deal with and kept me informed throughout. I would highly recommend Iain to anyone in need of legal assistance; his professionalism and results speak for themselves.

Wayne, many thanks for taking the time to share your experience and for your kind words.

Your case was a clear example of the importance of holding the police to account where powers are exercised unlawfully. From the outset, it was apparent that the circumstances surrounding both the stinger deployment and your subsequent detention required careful scrutiny. I am pleased that, through a thorough review of the evidence and robust representations, I was able to challenge the position initially adopted and achieve a just outcome.

Cases of this nature are often distressing, particularly where individuals have done nothing wrong, so it was important to ensure that matters were handled efficiently and with clarity throughout. I am glad that you felt supported during the process and that the resolution properly reflected the seriousness of what occurred.

Thanks again,

Iain

Thank you for your comments—they are very much appreciated.

Upholding the rights of individuals, particularly in the face of state power, is a fundamental part of what I do. It’s important that those who have been wronged have access to proper representation and are not discouraged from pursuing accountability.

I am grateful for your recognition of that work. Ensuring that clients are heard and that their cases are pursued with determination remains at the core of my practice.

Best wishes

unlawful arrest and abuse of power

I contacted Ian Gould following a very distressing incident involving what I believe was an unlawful arrest and an abuse of power by the police.

Ian was extremely knowledgeable about police law and misconduct cases and quickly understood the key issues. He provided clear advice and guided the process professionally from start to finish.

Ian handled the negotiations with the Metropolitan Police on my behalf and kept the process calm and focused throughout what was a very stressful situation. His experience in dealing with cases involving unlawful arrest was evident, and he was able to bring the matter to a successful resolution and settlement.

Throughout the process Ian was professional, approachable and supportive. Having someone with his expertise dealing with the legal side of things made a very difficult experience much easier to manage.

I would not hesitate to recommend Ian to anyone dealing with police misconduct, unlawful arrest or abuse of power.

Thank you for your thoughtful review.

Allegations of unlawful arrest and abuse of police powers must always be taken seriously, particularly where they have caused significant distress.

I am pleased that I was able to progress matters constructively and reach a successful resolution. Actions against the Police often require firm but measured engagement, and it is always my aim to keep the process as straightforward and focused as possible for the client.

I am glad that you felt supported throughout what was undoubtedly a difficult experience, and I appreciate your recommendation.

Best wishes

Iain provides very useful information

Iain provides very useful information to help understand your rights and obligations and of course the obligations and duties of the police should you need to deal with the police. I was a bit naive about this until i read many cases on Iains blog. I'm not saying i am now an legal expert but i feel confident should i have to deal with the police in future i'll be more confident in my rights and what i HAVE to lawfully do but more importantly the obligations of the police, when dealing with me.
Thanks for your insight Iain

Police abuse of S.19 PACE.

Given the importance of this subject and its relevance to everyone who owns a smartphone, i.e. nearly everyone, the article on S19 PACE should be required reading for everyone! The police indifference to, ignorance about, and abuse of the law requires knowledge to combat it. I say this as a retired police officer. Mr Gould has done a public service by circulating this blog.

Thank you for your feedback Bill! As you say, this is not just about a few bad apples: it is the failure of Police leadership from the very top, and the failure of rank and file officers to “blow the whistle” on colleagues, which poisons the whole tree.

What you need to know when interacting with police

Well written articles clearly laying out peoples rights when they interact with the police.
Evidenced by detailed examples of cases where egregious police behaviour has been successfully challenged, but only after legal action.

Gould is a reassuring voice against institutional corruption and brutality.

I have never used the services of this lawyer professionally but often look at his blog. In this case it was when trying to keep abreast of the situation regarding the extreme force used by Sussex police in restraining care home resident Donald Burgess. Gould is one of the few professionals offering a critical opinion of this appaling case and this is very much welcomed - my own MP just issued a series of glib Home Office statements emphasising that the police are on our side and react proportionately - completely at odds with this situation. Gould is a reassuring voice against institutional corruption and brutality.

Professional, Reliable, and Supportive

I was unlawfully arrested by four officers from Nottinghamshire Police. I was chased, racially abused, and subjected to a taser, which resulted in serious injuries. I was taken to hospital with cuts and bruises and suffered three fractured vertebrae in my spine. It became clear to me that the police were attempting to cover up what had happened by making false statements and reports against me.

Following this, I contacted Iain Gould at DPP Law Ltd. From the very beginning, Iain was professional, knowledgeable, and approachable. He took the time to clearly explain the legal process, kept me informed throughout, and showed genuine care and commitment to my case.

During an extremely stressful and difficult period in my life, Iain’s support, expertise, and reassurance gave me real confidence. I would not hesitate to recommend Iain Gould and DPP Law Ltd to anyone who needs strong, reliable, and dedicated legal representation. As a result of Iain Gould’s hard work and dedication, the case was successfully resolved, with the police accepting liability and agreeing to a £30,000 settlement plus costs. This outcome speaks for itself, and I am extremely grateful for the professionalism and commitment shown throughout my case.

Thank you Dimitri. The Police quite literally endangered your life by what they did to you, and then callously denied liability for years, until together we held them to account. Team-work, communication, dedication to detail are my watchwords. It was a pleasure to represent you and help you achieve the justice you so richly deserved.

Kryptonite of a corrupt, inhumane institution

I haven't been in a position where thus far I've been in position to call upon the impeccable skills of such a revered solicitor as Mr. Iain Gould, but I absolutely relish reading his blog entries and girding my own meagre knowledge of the law and police powers with his experience, passion and most importantly humanity. Far too often in this modern day and age are police officers having something akin to a 'God complex' where they think they have the divine right to determine what is and isn't the law.
I just wish I had known about Iain Gould many years ago when I was treated as criminal when detained under the abhorrent Section 135 of the Mental Health Act.
I know that if I'm ever going to be faced with such vitriolic, vituperative and vindictive dealings with the boys in blue, then my first port of call will be arranging an initial consultation with Mr. Iain Gould, because of his expertise, professionalism, representation and again most importantly: humanity.
Thank you for your great service!

5 stars plus for Iain Gould

I approached Iain after being unlawfully arrested & wrongly accused of sexual assault on a self defence courseI had run. Iain helped me get my custody record and a few other things before I commissioned him as I considered acting as litigant in person. Upon receiving a derisory offer of £1000 from the Police, I decided I needed the skills and experience Iain had to offer and can very happily state that upon completion he had successfully pushed compensation to £12000 as he worked diligently through out. Very happy with the outcome and definitely worth 5 stars or more - can’t recommend this guy enough !

Highly recommended!!

I done my research before choosing Iain to reach out too about my case and I was not disappointed! From my very first conversation with Iain I knew I had made the right choice. In a nutshell I was unlawfully arrested and detained with my phone unlawfully taken from me, during this I suffered a serious injury. Iain has been honest, consistent and supportive throughout my dealings with him. If you need someone who is as passionate and honest as they claim when it comes to justice involving police, then he is 100% your guy! Everyone claims to have your best interest at heart and he truly does. We have just settled after a bit of back and forth and I am satisfied with the outcome of the case and completely satisfied with the service provided by Iain and his team.
