Representation from Experts in the Field of False Allegation Cases 

When you are facing Historical Allegations of Sexual or Physical Abuse you need a team around you that knows what they are doing . The Team at QualitySolicitors Jordans have been involved in defending Historic Cases since 2002 . 

 

We have also brought many of the major criminal appeals in the field of Historic Cases . 

 

On this site we have brought together resources on Historic Abuse Cases which we hope will be of use . 

 

We also offer links to various support groups . 

Former Leaders of Historical Abuse Appeal Panel - Recognised Skills 

Mark Newby from QS Jordans was the Former Director of the Historical Abuse Appeal Panel which was formed in the aftermath of the last moral panic by leading Solicitors and Barrristers in the field . Whilst the Panel no longer exists the Lawyers who were committed to it remain available to offer expert assistance to those falsely accused . 

Unique Investigation Led approach to your defence 

Whoever you instruct to represent you it is essential to make sure that a unique investigation led approach is taken to your defence . If your legal team tell you all you can do is say you didn't do it then you are with the wrong team . 

 

You should be a key part of your defence team helping to suggest investigations and potential witnesses to ensure that you have a focussed positive defence . 

 

It is a sad reality that in cases like this we operate on a reverse standard of proof and you will very much need to prove your innocence . 

Getting your Appeal Right 

If you find yourself in the unenviable position of having been convicted you must find a legal team with sound expereince of appealing False Allegation Cases . The way in which your appeal is written and the strength of advocate you get to appear before what will often be a hostile tribunal is vital . Similarly if you need to make a CCRC application you need a lawyer with sound experience of the Commission who can help you achieve a strong outcome from the Commissions Review .
