Hine Solicitors is one of the few criminal law
firms qualified and accredited to undertake prison
law work in the UK. One of our team regularly
contributes to the Q & A forum for Inside
Time newspaper and is a member of the Association
of Prison Lawyers. Whether you’re facing
an adjudication or require representation for
parole, contact us. It’s vital you have
expert legal advice when it’s your
liberty at stake.
Home Office statistics show a massive rise in
recalls - 13,467 in 2008/2009. The vast majority were
for technical breaches rather than for further
offences. Whether you are subject to a standard
recall or come within the new fixed term recall
provisions, you are entitled to dispute the reasons
relating to why you were recalled. We will make
representations on your behalf and, where appropriate,
seek an oral hearing challenging the recall decision
It takes skill and expertise to present a case
to the Parole Board. If you face a hearing, let
us represent you. We can source expert psychiatric
or psychological reports, supporting a case for
release or a move to an open establishment. We
undertake all types of parole proceedings, from
representation on the papers for mid-way hearings
to oral hearings for lifers.
Any prisoner facing disciplinary action in the
prison is usually entitled to legal advice.
For any matter heard before an independent adjudicator and in some situations before a Prison Governor we have a specialist team to represent you. Hine Solicitors has more than an 80% success rate in adjudication hearings.
The team also specialises in advising IPP prisoners
in sentence planning, helping with HDC applications
and assisting with re-categorisation reviews.
