Why Us?

Donoghue Solicitors is a professional law firm. We only represent claimants, never police forces or other detaining authorities. This is important to you as it means that we do not have any conflict of interest. Your needs come first.

We are proud to be members of the Police Action Lawyers Group, an organisation of like-minded lawyers committed to representing people who have been wronged by the police. Our Solicitor Director, Kevin Donoghue, is also a member of Liberty, the human rights and civil liberties organisation.

Our solicitors are passionate about protecting civil rights. Helping our clients claim compensation and receive an apology where appropriate ensures that justice is served.

We were honoured to win the Niche Law Firm Award for our work in actions against the police at the 2015 Liverpool Law Society Awards. You can read about how we became the Niche Law Firm Award Winners here.

We are authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (no.573581) and follow the SRA Standards and Regulations. We always put our client’s interests first.

We act for people on a no win no fee basis where appropriate – see the Funding Options and No Win No Fee Claims page for more details.

We also maintain professional indemnity insurance, at no cost to you, to ensure that you are protected.

Actions against the police are difficult. However, we will always consider a claim for free and without obligation.

Because we are professionals, we will assess your claim carefully and advise you for free and without obligation.

If we can help, we will deal with your claim throughout.

No middlemen, no time wasters, no fuss.

If we can’t help, we will explain why and provide any other guidance we can. If we act for you, we will make sure that you understand the steps to be taken, what we’re doing for you, and why.

Although we are solicitors in Liverpool, we represent clients throughout England and Wales.

Most of our clients use e-mail and phone to keep in touch. We can also keep in touch with skype or facetime, post, and personal meetings.

You are welcome to come to our offices to meet our expert solicitors by prior appointment. Our expert solicitors will also visit you at home or work within the North West.

• We’re successful. Our clients know that we only take their cases on if we genuinely believe in them. In doing so we can confidently handle your claim to get you the best possible result.
• We are expert solicitors and chartered legal executives (fully qualified lawyers) who specialise in civil compensation claims against the police. Our work led to an award from Liverpool Law Society in recognition of our “clear and significant commitment to widening access to justice”.
• We will never charge to discuss your potential claim, and act on a no win no fee basis where appropriate. We also have contacts within the insurance industry who we can approach to seek insurance for disbursements and the other side’s costs in the unlikely event that your claim does not succeed. This way we can assure you that making a claim will not put you at financial risk. Read more about your funding options and our no win no fee police claims service by clicking on the link.
