Community Care

Burke Niazi's Community Care department advises, assists and represents clients who require support, care, treatment or accommodation from Social Services and the NHS. We also help family members and carers.

Our solicitors are extremely experienced in acting on behalf of children, older persons, people with severe and enduring physical and mental health conditions, clients with HIV and AIDS, and those whose immigration status prevents them accessing the care they need, such as failed asylum-seekers.

We challenge failures by Social Services and the NHS to properly assess and provide for our clients’ needs. We also challenge withdrawals of services and changes to care packages, and assist in charging disputes, including NHS Continuing Healthcare cases. Where necessary, we pursue remedies and redress for our clients through the Courts, including High Court claims in judicial review.

If clients are unable to travel to our offices, perhaps because of a disability or if they are in hospital, we are able to carry out home or hospital visits.

The majority of our clients are eligible for Legal Aid Agency funding. If Legal Aid is not available, we offer fixed fees and competitive hourly rates, which we will discuss with a client before taking on their case.
