GHG
Legal Consultant
The law’s full of jargon. I hate that. People already feel lost—and confusing language only makes it worse.
That’s why at GHG Legal, I do things differently. I break things down, keep it real, and always, always put YOU first.
Legal support and representaation that feels like a conversation—not an interrogation or a foreign language.
About GHG
Legal Consultant
Champion of Justice,
Advocate for the Vulnerable
I’m Gail Hadfield Grainger, founder of GHG Legal Consultant and a dedicated Police Station Representative at Southerns Solicitors. My mission is to help ordinary people navigate the complexities of the justice system, ensuring they are treated fairly, heard, and defended.
My Journey
In 2012, my partner, Anthony Grainger, was tragically shot and killed by police. That defining moment ignited my relentless drive for justice and transformed my life’s purpose.
Even before 2012, I had firsthand encounters with the legal system as a young person from a deprived background. These experiences gave me a profound understanding of what it feels like to be on the other side of the table—worried, uncertain, and seeking justice.
​
To complement my lived experience, I pursued and earned a Master’s degree in the Criminal Justice Process, as well as degrees in Law and Criminology. This combination of formal qualifications and personal experience ensures I bring a unique, empathetic, and effective approach to every case.
Why I’m Different
I don’t just rely on textbook knowledge or procedural training—I bring real-life experience and empathy to the table. Having been in that seat myself, I understand the fear and uncertainty my clients face. This unique perspective allows me to offer not just legal representation, but genuine support and understanding.
What I Do
-
Criminal Defence & Police Station Representation: From the first moments after an arrest, I stand by my clients to ensure their rights are upheld and to build the strongest possible defence.
-
Police Misconduct & Serious Injury Claims: I fight for justice when those in power abuse their authority.
-
Criminal Injury Compensation – No Win, No Fee: Ensuring victims of crime receive the compensation they deserve.
-
Supporting Foster Children & Guardians: Providing legal support and training to navigate the care system.
-
Wills, Trusts & Lasting Power of Attorney: Offering bespoke, affordable planning services to help families secure their future.
My Commitment
I do this because I’ve lived it. I know what it's like to be in that vulnerable position, and I’m committed to ensuring that no one has to face the system alone. Justice isn’t just about laws; it’s about people, and I stand with those who need it most.
Services
Comprehensive Legal Support for Your Needs
My Services – Rooted in Lived Experience
At GHG Legal Consultant, I don’t just offer legal services—I offer understanding, because I’ve lived through many of the same systems I now help others navigate.
​
The law can feel cold and complex. But I make it human. I’ve been on the other side of the table. I know what it’s like to feel scared, unheard, or powerless. That’s why everything I offer is built around compassion, clarity, and standing up for you when it matters most.

Why Choose a Police Station Rep Over a Solicitor?
-
Focused Expertise
I don’t do this as a side service—I specialise in police station work. That means I’m up-to-date, tactical, and ready for every type of interview.
-
More Time, More Focus
Solicitors are often juggling court deadlines, paperwork, and meetings. I give full attention to the police station stage, because that’s where most cases are built—or broken.
-
Strategic from the Start
My role is to spot early problems in the prosecution’s case, stop unfair questioning, and protect your position before it ever reaches court.
-
No Cost to You
Like solicitors, my attendance is always covered by Legal Aid—free of charge, no matter your income.
What Sets Me Apart?
I don’t just have the qualification—I’ve lived it.
I’ve been through the system from the other side. I know the fear, the confusion, and the pressure. That’s why I bring more than legal skill. I bring understanding, empathy, and a fierce commitment to protect you.
When you’re at your most vulnerable, I’ll be there—not just with expertise, but with heart.
Later-Life Planning
WILLS, LASTING POWER OF ATTORNEY & TRUSTS
Don’t leave it until it’s too late.
​
I know how painful it is when families are left unprotected—because I’ve lived it. That’s why I offer personalised, affordable consultations to help you get it right while you still can.
I work alongside a long-standing, award-winning consultant to provide:
-
Wills – to make sure your wishes are honoured and the people you love are taken care of.
-
Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) – to give someone you trust the power to act if you can’t.
-
Trusts – to protect what matters, provide for your family, or plan for future care
This isn’t just paperwork—it’s peace of mind.
Because when you're no longer here, what you leave behind should help, not hurt.
And when it comes to protecting the people you love, you can’t afford to get this wrong.
Optimization
CRIMINAL INJURIES COMPENSATION AUTHORITY
(CICA)
(No Win - No Fee)
​
Through Southerns Solicitors, I help victims of violent and sexual offences apply for CICA compensation—on a No Win, No Fee basis.
​
If you've been physically or emotionally harmed by crime, I’ll guide you with honesty and care. You don’t pay unless we win.
​
I also support looked-after children, making sure their claims are handled through the right legal channels—because their voices deserve to be heard.
​
Time limits to know:
-
Most claims: within 2 years of the incident
-
Children: Up to their 20th birthday
-
Historic abuse: 2 years from reporting to police
-
​
In some cases, late claims are accepted—so don’t rule it out.
No jargon. No judgment. Just the support you need.
