What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

In Liverpool, Higgs Newton Kenyon Solicitors has built a strong reputation among clients pursuing claims against the police and other public bodies. A handful of customers describe the firm as professional and reassuring from the first conversation, with cases accepted when other no win, no fee practices had shown little interest. One thing mentioned again and again is the clarity of the advice, as legal processes and likely outcomes were explained in plain terms from the outset. Reviewers repeatedly mention regular updates, quick responses to questions, and solicitors who kept to agreed timelines.

The team settled matters out of court in some instances and negotiated higher compensation than initially offered, with fees discussed upfront and transferred promptly once claims concluded. Named staff such as Deepa and Becky are praised for their compassion and commitment, particularly in sensitive wrongful arrest and detention matters. Clients also value the background work carried out, the lack of pressure at every stage, and the practical support offered over the phone and by email. Instructions were handled straightforwardly, from the first enquiry through to the successful resolution of wrongful arrest and detention claims.

Becky and her team have been outstanding from start to finish. As a disabled person who experienced a wrongful arrest and injury, I needed a legal team that would truly support and understand me—and they did exactly that. They were professional, compassionate, and always kept me informed. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and they were always quick to respond to any questions I had. One of my cases has already been settled successfully and to my full satisfaction. I have never known a legal team to be so attentive and “on the ball.” I would highly recommend them to anyone, especially those who may feel vulnerable going through the legal process. Now part of Express Solicitors, and I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again.

Thank you to Deepa and her team for having faith and trust in me and getting the justice I deserved. It was never about money with me - it was simply about proving I was totally innocent of any wrong doing. If you have the strength and confidence to do it then please do so if you believe you have a legitimate chance. Thank you to HNK!

I was totally unlawfully arrested and detained by the police. I had done nothing wrong. They locked me for a day and released me without charge. I was fuming and luckily got in touch with these solicitors. Everything was done over the phone and via email. It was very easy. Took about half an hour. 4 months later I get a call saying I had been offered £1000 by the police. I accepted the offer and minus the win fee for the solicitors, they transferred 725 quid into my account. If anyone is ever in a similar situation then get in touch with these guys. They do all the work with zero costs.

Helpful, Prompt with communication. Assisted me in holding local police force accountable for the unnecessary actions and getting compensation. Managed to settle out of court, managed to haggle for additional funds than originally agreed

I had a terrible experience with false allegations made against me and poor behaviour and misconduct from the police. Higgs Newton made me feel protected and supported. They were very professional and gave me the support that I needed and did a good job. I would recommend calling them. In my situation I was guilty in the eyes of the police until proven innocent. It was a nighmare and I am glad HNKS managed to push back against the Police.
