One of Lomax"s current cases is that of James Harry Reyos, an American Indian convicted of killing an Irish Priest in Texas, United States of America. Father Patrick Ryan was killed in Odessa, Texas, on 21 December 1981 and Reyos was found guilty two years later. Lomax runs the campaign to exonerate Reyos. In addition to working on cases of alleged injustices, Lomax writes about unsolved murders in Derbyshire, published in the autumn of 2009 and South Yorkshire, published in February 2013.

In recent years he has written books about the archaeology of Nottingham (2013) and the home front in Sheffield and Derbyshire during the First World War. Lomax campaigns for tougher sentences for serious crimes such as paedophilia, rape and murder. He is campaigning to call for an end to many of the privileges enjoyed by prisoners. He has also campaigned for Peter Sutcliffe (the Yorkshire Ripper) to be moved from Broadmoor secure hospital, to a prison. In 2009 Lomax made an appeal bid to have the sentences of Dano Sonnex and Nigel Farmer (convicted of murdering two French students in London) increased to whole life tariffs. His attempts to persuade the Attorney General to refer the case to the Court of Appeal on the grounds that the sentences were unduly lenient were unsuccessful, however.
