Iain Gould, Solicitor

As a retired police officer, I was very careful in my choice of representation in an action against the Essex Police. My wife and I were both victims of extraordinary misconduct which caused us deep distress. We found Iain to have been the perfect choice, combining professionalism, tenacity and compassion. We were both enormously grateful for his representation and have no hesitation in recommending his services.

I would encourage anyone reading these Goggle reviews to switch to Iain’s website and in particular the blog and immerse yourself reading the passionate, educational and accessible real life success stories he has achieved. I can vouch that it was Iain’s website that was my introduction him and more importantly detailed examples of how Iain had helped so many others, who had also been wronged by the very people you are meant to call on for help. This all led me to completing the online enquiry form. The free text field allowed me to express, in my own words, my version of the events and where I felt there were grounds for a claim. It was extremely easy to do and within four hours Iain had replied, much to my delight. Over the following three years Iain continued to keep in touch by phone, post and email, I always felt he listened and advised me appropriately. I cannot tell you how relieved I am that we have finally arrived at a life changing settlement which you can read more about including my full testimonial on Iain's blog by searching "a-police-hell-fare-visit".

I came across Iain Goild as he was highly recommend by another solicitor. He has helped me win my case of unlawful arrest to the police! He is very understanding, honest, respectful and works very hard to get the best possible outcome.. I would highly recommend working with Iain Gould..

I cannot recommend Iain and his team more highly - first class advice, a thorough appraisal of the situation and the process we would face was spot on. Iain's timely and empathetic communications throughout kept us in touch and informed, and took away any of the unease and worry we may have had in the early stages of our action against Surrey Police. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found him and would encourage anybody who believes they may have a case to get in touch with Iain and his team.

When Avon & Somerset Police could not upheld my complaint, I was instructed to seek legal advice from a solicitor. I contacted a solicitor firm which when spoken to the main solicitor he seemed not interested and stated to email him details, so I looked around and came across Iain Gould solicitor. When I called and spoke to him he was willing to listen and gave clear instructions on how he can set out my case. As this was more of a clear cut case where the police knew they was liable. We settled the claim but with Iain’s decades of experience he got me a more then fair amount of settlement then originally offered and as my family member was in the same situation he took on both our cases at the same time and won. I then brought to Iain’s attention a case approaching 5 years ago which in the first instance I instructed another solicitor but after the police denied liability that solicitor was not convincing enough to take the case any further. After obtaining the evidence from that solicitor firm Iain was happy to take on my 5 year old case on. Originally the case was struck out of court due to the time frame but with Iain’s decades of experience, he reassured me that the judge did not interpreted the outcome correctly and upon appealing that verdict we won the appeal and the case was reinstated. Avon & Somerset police denied liability and set out a high defence cost, which Iain’s colleague advised this was a tactic to try to make one think twice. Again we continued with the court proceedings and within a couple months Avon & Somerset admitted liability and settling out of court. Overall I would recommend Iain’s solicitor to anyone who I been treated wrong by the police and have any doubts of bringing a case forward against them. Iain won a total of three cases for me and my family and with his decades of knowledge and experience he could win a case for you if you are in any doubt’s.

Iain Gould is an excellent Solicitor and I highly recommend his services to anyone who needs it 👍👏. After an unlawful arrest by metropolitan police I found Iain Gould through an online search and gave his office a call. His staff were extremely friendly, professional and understanding. I spoke with Iain directly and he gave me excellent advice on the issue and we agreed to file the required paperwork against the police. All I had to do was send him a few documents and within days all the paperwork was filed against the police. Iain kept me up to date the whole time at regular intervals and my case was SETTLED with a “generous” offer by the metropolitan police which I have accepted 😃. I cannot thank Iain enough, thank you again Iain 🤝. The whole process was swift and stress free and I am now thousands of pounds better off for the inconveniences and distress caused by the metropolitan police to me. For action against the police, I would not recommend anyone else but Iain Gould and his wonderful team. His work goes a long way to making sure the police act lawfully and serve the public as they should. If you wish to take action against the police, give Iain and his team a call now, he will put a smile back on your face 🙂 just like he has done for me👍👏🤝. Thank you and your team Iain Gould for helping me. I honestly feel much better.

In May 2022 I was minding my own business working from home when the police came into my home and wrongfully arrested me. They suspected that I robbed a discount booze store at knife point for a bottle of vodka when I was in fact an innocent man. The real suspect was a black man with the same first name as me. You would of thought they would realise they had the wrong person when they handcuffed me as the real perpetrator ONLY HAS ONE HAND. Luckily I have 2 :)..... racial profiling at its finest! Iain Gould is an excellent solicitor, who gave me brilliant advice and guided me through a difficult time in my life as this happened just a month after burying my grandmother. He was very understanding of my situation and was very professional at all times. Even at times when I just wanted it to be over and done with, he re-assured me and I trusted him to eventually get the outcome we wanted. I was fairly compensated and can now finally put it all behind me. I would definitely recommend!

After being wrongfully profiled and illegally held in detention by Tesco superstore. Iain Gould was very informative and supportive of my situation and its impact on my life. He not only handled the case with professionalism and WIN, but he also arranged therapy sessions with someone who really helped me. I would highly recommend Iain to anyone who experiences wrongful acts.

Thank you Iain for all your help and support.
