Top 10 of 849 law firms for Homelessness Appeals, Appeals Law

Law firms ranked by client reviews

Homelessness appeals cover challenging a local authority decision on homelessness, including whether the authority properly considered priority need, suitability of accommodation, and whether reasonable steps were taken to secure accommodation. A solicitor in this area drafts and files representations or appeals, warns of procedural or legal faults in the decision, and may instruct or appear in county court where legally appropriate to challenge or review the authority’s findings and actions. The work often hinges on statutory duties under the Housing Act 1996 as amended, and the evolving guidance on homelessness and housing allocations.

What a solicitor handles in these matters

A solicitor explains the technical grounds of challenge, such as misapplication of the statutory tests for homelessness, failures in assessing priority need, or errors in the housing duty timeline, and then drafts precise submissions to the local authority or to the court. They may prepare and lodge any necessary court documents, gather supporting evidence (including medical, financial, and housing history), and coordinate with housing officers, social services, and potential housing providers, with attention to deadlines and any potential judicial review routes if applicable.

Stéphane Gentili

Tagged solicitor Stéphane Gentili

My connection with Stefane and Claudia of Gentili Stark is in connection with an ongoing partner visa application for my now civil partner. They had earlier very successfully helped him through an Immigration Tribunal hearing before I came on the scene but I am now involved in the subsequent visa application procedures. Not having been involved in such matters before, I was impressed with the way they carefully explained what needed to be done in my role as sponsor and how it should be done so that I felt fully supported in what was a new area to me. The close personal approach and level of knowledge shown was something I valued. I am therefore very happy to place on record the high degree of service and support which I have had from them and I warmly recommend others to use their services.
