Forensic Access Limited

Forensic science expertise: supporting Criminal Law & Civil Law cases for the prosecution, the defence, private individuals and industry

Forensic Access has been at the heart of UK forensic science since 1986.

The Company was established by Dr Angela Gallop and other highly qualified Home Office forensic scientists to provide proper advice and guidance to defence lawyers for a better balance of forensic science expertise at court, and second opinions for police in cases of uncertainty or concern.

Over the years we have continued to provide high quality services to lawyers and to police forces, making substantial contributions in many high profile cases, for example the murder of Stephen Lawrence and the "Coastal Path" murders.

We also specialise in supporting Civil Law cases with a range of specialist forensic science services.

Forensic Access has an unassailable track record, delivering our breadth of services from our quality accredited laboratories.

Forensic science services: we offer a very wide range of forensic science services, delivered by some of the most experienced forensic scientists in the UK. From DNA to digital forensics, our range is one of the most extensive in the country and having been in operation since 1986 we have a very wide and deep understanding of the issues that face lawyers, the police, industry and private individuals.

We are totally committed to quality to ensure our customers get an excellent and robust service. In May 2010 we were awarded accreditation to the international quality standard, ISO 17025 – the first of the smaller forensic science providers to be awarded this much sought-after badge of quality. Since then we have maintained our accreditation and increased its scope, to give confidence to our customers that our commitment is real.

Security and confidentiality: a number of highly secure organisations have recognised our commitment to security and confidentiality: all of our staff are security cleared (many to a very high level); we use secure email systems and our premises are secure to a level required by the Home Office, giving customers confidence that their case information, data and case evidence are safe in our hands.

Our team of dedicated and experienced Case Administrators will help to find the most suitable forensic scientist to assist you and will help manage your case, with close attention to detail and customer service, from your initial call, all the way through any Court appearances.

We look forward to having the opportunity to support you.
