Inquests

Inquests are usually called by the Coroner where a person has died in questionable or unnatural circumstances. We understand how difficult it can be to navigate the legal requirements of an inquest during what is often a very challenging time. During an inquest, the public bodies involved will have legal representation. This can make the experience incredibly daunting to the families and other people involved in proceedings. Our sensitive and expert approach to supporting individuals through this difficult time will give you and your loved ones peace of mind. Our expertise includes deaths where the person was receiving care or support from health and social care or was detained in a hospital or other setting, including police custody and prison.
We accept instructions from across the region, including Somerset, Devon, Cornwall, Bristol, Dorset and Wiltshire. We are also able to act in cases beyond these areas and are happy to discuss ways in which we can assist.
