Our Services: Support for Migrants - Community Care

Our solicitors have extensive experience assisting asylum seekers, refugees and other people from abroad with immigration problems obtain the support they require in the UK from local authorities and central government. We have an excellent record in obtaining results for clients who often come to us in desperate situations. We are able to give pragmatic advice, and work closely with immigration solicitors to ensure client’s problems are looked at in the round. We collaborate with a number of charities and refugee organisations, as well as receiving referrals from immigration, housing and family solicitors.

We have particular experience of working with vulnerable client groups, including victims of domestic violence, trafficking victims, people with mental health problems and torture victims, as well as those with physical disabilities and health problems.

In addition to problems relating to accommodation and support, we also assist migrants with access to health care/ NHS charging problems and education issues, as well as providing advice to unaccompanied minors and those previously looked after by local authorities.

Dan Rosenberg previously worked for a London local authority, and has particular knowledge of what drives their decision making. Keeley Creedy recently was successful in the Court of Appeal in a case involving a local authority’s duties to a blind asylum seeker. Julie Cornes has a vast amount of experience in this field, including the overlap with mental health, and currently sits as a part-time Judge in the Asylum Support Tribunal. Jessica Whitehead, Victoria Pogge von Strandmann and Shirley Rojas are also very experienced in this field, regularly receiving referrals from the Refugee Council. Oliver Studdert has particular experience working with migrants leaving the care system.

We are always willing to spend time discussing potential cases with voluntary agencies, community groups, or other solicitors.

In most cases public funding will be available. Please contact us for further information.
