“I represented a young woman whose husband was in a minimally conscious state following a road traffic accident. She travelled 3 hours a day to visit him as he was placed so far from home. THANKS TO LEGAL AID, I persuaded his CCG to commission a new placement 20 minutes from home.”
“Today I met an 89 year old woman with dementia who was moved into a care home against her will. She was desperate to go home, which could work with the right support. THANKS TO LEGAL AID, I was able to win her a trial period home with a package of care.”
“Today I met a man who believed the UK Government was complicit in his torture. During interrogations abroad, his torturers asked questions that indicated the UK worked with them. He believed UK agents were present at times. THANKS TO LEGAL AID, I sought disclosure, questioned UK authorities & investigated his allegations.
THIS CASE WOULD BE BARRED BY THE “RESIDENCE TEST”.
EXCEPTIONS ARE NOT ENOUGH.”
“Today I met a father of 2 British kids who had been deported from the UK. He committed a crime & was deported with no regard for his children or his rehabilitation whilst in prison. THANKS TO LEGAL AID, I got his deportation order revoked & reunited him with his children.”
