Top 10 of 569 law firms for Challenging Councils, Care Law

Law firms ranked by client reviews

Challenging councils within care law covers disputes with local authorities over social care assessments, funding decisions, and safeguarding or detention cases that affect adults and children. A solicitor in this area drafts and files applications, responses and evidence, and represents a client in proceedings against a local authority in the High Court or the Court of Protection, as well as in related tribunals. They negotiate care packages, challenge eligibility determinations, and push for timely reviews when services or accommodation are refused or ended. The work is shaped by statutory duties on councils and the urgency of safeguarding concerns.

What a solicitor handles in these matters

The solicitor handles the specifics of care-related decisions, the statutory tests, and the evidence required to mount a challenge. They rely on rights of access to records, the relevant care standards, and regulatory oversight; they may secure interim orders or injunctions to protect a client while proceedings progress, and they navigate court procedures to obtain a remedy or reconsideration.

Jonathan Dwek

Tagged solicitor Jonathan Dwek

Farley Dwek was recommended to us and we are so glad that we took up the recommendation. We found out by pure chance that our mum had been charged unlawful top up fees for several years which amounted to a lot of money. Jonathan always gave us excellent advice, he gave us a very honest view of our position and managed our expectations. We felt that he was professional, but passionate and committed to helping us to achieve the best outcome possible, along with being approachable and empathetic. Because of his support and advice the care home agreed to refund all the overpayments along with interest, which will make a huge difference to mums future care needs. We would recommend that anyone who thinks they may be being charged unlawful top up fees in a care home to contact Farley Dwek, we’re so glad we did.

After my sons EHCP got refused I came across Samantha, I called up and had a chat explained what I needed and how do I go around it. Samantha explained everything. What options I had, helped me every step of the way. No question was to big or to small. She made me feel really comfortable, and at ease with such a stressful situation. Wanting to get it right, with no fuss or issues. I can not thank Samantha enough. My son now has his EHCP.
