Football

This firm has a long history of representing individuals and groups charged with football violence and similar matters. Our Mr Parker has attended police stations on these cases as far afield as Doncaster to Hereford. Indeed, he once represented ten fans from a football league team who got arrested under the Public Order Act 1986 and after a lengthy Crown Court trial, 8 of the 10 defendants (who all stayed as our clients) were found not guilty.
We have experience of dealing with Banning Orders under Section 14(a) of the Football Spectators Act 1989 and we have had many calls to represent clients during the current World Cup. Most of these were under the Offences Against the Person Act 1961, Criminal Justice Act 1988 or Public Order Act 1986. Interestingly, most involved copious amounts of alcohol, which generally speaking is no defence in English law, as it leads to a self-induced state.
Our facial mapping experts have been used to great effect in public order violence cases, such as the Bradford riots were we acted for the apparent ring leader.
