    State benefits cover financial support provided by the government to help with living costs, sickness, disability, unemployment and carers’ needs. A solicitor in this area helps you to apply for benefits, challenge decisions, and navigate the appeals process. They gather medical, earnings and housing information, prepare and submit forms, liaise with the Department for Work and Pensions and, if required, represent you at tribunals to protect your income and ensure the correct awards are made.

    “Tim was very patient and happy to listen. Very forthcoming with assistance. Very quickly put my mind at ease - feel much more relaxed. Don't feel now like I'm going to be destitute and more assured on what is likely to happen.”

Not sure I have the words to describe how much they have helped me. Professional. Yes Empathetic. Yes Are two words that spring to mind. But Alice and Fiona were so much more than that. I will introduce them to anyone in my network that need their services without hesitation. Thank you to both of you. ”

    “Lee and his team argued with DWP on our family’s behalf regarding whether my mother’s estate had to repay any benefits. The DWP were terribly slow - it took 18 months to get a clear bill of health. But Lee’s team kept us up to date, and got a successful outcome eventually ”
